Revlon Lip Butters burst onto the beauty scene in the later months of 2011. Since then, they’ve become one of the most talked about drugstore makeup items of the year.
It was hard to choose just two shades to initially try out, but I narrowed it down to Strawberry Shortcake and Candy Apple.
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake is a bubblegum pink. Even if you normally couldn’t pull off this shade, or are timid to try it, the sheer (but not TOO sheer) pigment makes it a little easier to handle for a test drive.
Candy Apple
Candy Apple is a sheer maraschino cherry red. I love this one, it just looks so succulent! This makes me think of the rival dance squad on the show Dance Moms (which, incidentally, is filmed about 20 minutes from my house). Anyway, the girls compete against a squad called the Candy Apples lol they should all wear this shade 😉
The formula on the Revlon Lip Butters is wonderful. Smooth and moisturizing, this is a lipstick that even all you high-end honeys will love (they actually remind me of the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine). The shades are perfectly pigmented and come in a variety of colors (I believe 21) to suit anyone’s fancy.
The only thing I dislike is that the Lip Butters are pretty wide, so it’s hard to keep on the lips without some of it getting out of place. And my lips are basically in the middle, size wise. Not real thick, and not real thin. Other than that, I love everything about them.
Revlon Lip Butters retail around $7-$8 each, give or take drugstore pricing, sales… whatnot… have you tried these? What do you think? Up next on my must have list are Tutti Fruitti and Creamsicle.
I bought Candy Apple today and it is fantastic! Thanks for the review & recommending it. Nice to find a lipstick that actually wears well under 10.00
I love these! I am so excited when I am able to find great things at the drugstore!
Love the candy apple. Will definately pick one up tomorrow
Ahhh I’ve heard so much about these. Too bad we don’t have them in Belgium! Revlon has very limited distribution here, and all the displays I’ve seen are really limited 🙁 Candy Apple looks SO juicy!
Just to give you a heads up, if there is a k-mart by you check it out, because they are having all Revlon including the lip butters for 40% off. I believe I paid around $4 for one.
