Revlon lip butters: Rave review & Swatches ♥

Hello everyone! 

I'm sure you have all heard of these little bad boys, Yep! Revlon lip butters I think they are bloody amazing and I am here to share my thoughts with you. Here's what Revlon says about them

Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture by 156%

- Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth
- Sheer to medium colour with buttery shine
- Available in 20 luscious shades

I own 6 out of the 20 shades that are available: (left to right) Strawberry shortcake, Peach parfait, Sweet tart, Lollipop, Pink truffle and Berry Smoothie. 

Strawberry shortcake is a very light baby pink colour, however because it has sheer colour pay off it adds a nice subtle pink tinge to the lips. This is perfect for my NC40 complexion, as light pinks tend to wash me out.
Peach parfait is a nice peachy nude colour with glitter flecks in it, this will definitely flatter most skin tones. It is an everyday kind of lipstick it, has that 'my lip but better' effect. Although if you do not like glitter on your lips I would steer clear of this colour as the glitter is very noticeable.
Sweet tart is by far my favourite bring pink lipstick! It is a soft bright pink with orange undertones, and if like me you find it hard to wear bright pink lips this will be perfect for you. This lip butter is also more pigmented than the other two I mentioned and therefore can be worn in the day or evening. 

Lollipop is the most pigmented of all the lip butters I own, it is a deep fuchsia pink with some purple like undertones which means it will again suit most skin tones especially darker skin tones. 
Pink truffle is as the name suggests a pinky/brown nude colour perfect for everyday wear however this tends to be a more mature colour, however I find it perfect for work as it is subtle and elegant. 
Berry Smoothie is my favourite of them all, it is very comparable to plumful by mac, it is a soft plum colour with sheer colour pay off however it is buildable. Its is a perfect autumn colour, this is my everyday lip in autumn/winter. 

Here are swatches of all 6 colours:

Now many lip products claim to be moisturising but unfortunately very few are... However Revlon lip butters claim to moisturise the lips by up to 156% and although I can't specifically say by what percentage, I will definitely agree that these lip butters helped keep my lip nice and moisturised! The colour pay for these lip butters are incredible (the pictures really don't do them justice) and for such moisturising lip products this is rather impressive! Well done Revlon! 

Another thing which I love love love about these lip butters is that they smell so yummy!! They smell like coco butter and ice cream although not everyone agrees with me, I don't know maybe my nose smells what it wants. Also I must say the packaging for these lip butters are pretty cute, and have a some what Chanel feel to them with the quilted look. I mean look at them...  So freaking CUTE! 



Overall I can't recommend these enough! They smell great, look great and are affordable what more could you ask for?! Next on my wishlist is Candy apple! 


Let me know if you have tried these and what you think of them..

  2. Great swatches! Sweet Tart & Lollipop look lovely :)
    I only have one lip butter, Macaroon, it's a lovely shade but quite glittery so sometimes it's a bit much.
