Review: Revlon Lip Butters

By now, you've probably seen the gorgeous ad with Emma Stone wearing Revlon's Lip Butter in Peach Parfait {which sadly was the only color I couldn't find in stores during my search}.  There are a ton of reviews of this product online but I thought I'd go ahead and share my thoughts. 

{First Thoughts}

Each lipstick comes in an adorable quilted case colored to match the actual product.  For the most part, the colors were spot on and I also liked that you could see the color from the top of the tube.

Creamsicle, Creme Brulee, Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart, Berry Smoothie, Lollipop, Raspberry Pie, Candy Apple and Cherry Tart.

The consistency of Revoln's Lip Butters are very similar to Bobbi Brown's Creamy Lip Color both of which go on like a thick, creamy chapstick.  I also loved that the colors were true to how they looked in the tube.  For the most part, they all had buildable depth especially some of the darker colors.

For reference, I actually think this photo with flash captures the colors best. Creamsicle is a very light and creamy nude that looked horrible on me.  It might look better during the summer time or layered over a brighter color.  Overall opinion is that it wasn't my favorite.  Creme Brulee is a pretty brown/pink nude that is very easy to wear.  Two of my favorite colors that I tried are Strawberry Shortcake and Sweet Tart.  Both are pinks that work really well with my coloring {fair with yellow undertones, tans easily} and are good for everyday if I want something a little fun.  Next up is Berry Smoothie which is a light berry that I think could work for anyone.  It's a great everyday color to have on hand to make your natural lip color look a little more polished.  The next four colors were on the darker end of the spectrum.  Lollipop is a blue based fushia pink with shimmer in it that reminded me of Barbie.  Raspberry Pie is a bold, dark pink but it would look great with flawless skin and  simple eye makeup.  Candy Apple is a orange based red {which works better for me} and Cherry Tart is a blue based red that had some shimmer in it.  

Overall, I thought this was a great product at a really affordable price {$6.50-$7.50 depending where you buy from} which is great because you can experiment with colors you normally wouldn't.  I bought these at Walgreens where they were having buy one, get one 50% off so all 9 of these were almost the same price as buying a single Tom Ford lipstick!  My favorite lipsticks of all time are still Tom Ford and Bobbi Brown's Creamy Lip Color but I think Revlon Lip Butters are very comparable in terms of color range and consistency.
