Company: Revlon
Candy Apple, you can see the design pressed on the side of the tube |
Wear: Since these are a lip butter lip color, they go on very smooth! This was kind of my transition into lip colors since it went on like a balm. The color goes on nicely, about two coats and you've achieved the color of the lip butter. I like that it's still a bit moisturizing in the beginning since lipstick is just so drying. In the picture I thought it may be useful to show you what the colors look like on skin and on paper since I'm fairly tan and colors may look a bit different on my skin.
Packaging: These come in tubes with caps colored to match the color of the lip butter. Two sides of the case have grooves/ridges in them and the two other sides are smooth.

Price: I think I paid about $6-7 for this, which is high compared to the lip balms I buy but I suppose that's not too bad for a lip stick since they cost more.
Overall:
Pros: Color, wear, packaging, price
Cons:
Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. These are pretty great lip colors and I have been using them pretty frequently. I like that they're smooth and not just a lip stick, they could be a bit more like a lip butter though.
Have you tried these Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters before? What did you think of them? What do you think of me including reviews on lip sticks/lip glosses?
I normally don't like lipsticks because my lips are already so red naturally that I have never really needed them. I do like to wear a nice nude shade every once in a while to tone down the red a bit. I have one Revlon Color Burst in Creamsicle and really like it! There are a few more shades I would like to try. I love that it isn't drying like most lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteI say, bring on the lipstick and gloss reviews as well! Sometimes it's nice to glam it up a bit. :)

I'm glad I've got your support on this! I'll try to do as good a job on my lipstick/lip gloss reviews as I do on my lip balm reviews. The only problem is I have SO many more lip balms I could review over lip sticks and I know so much more about how to gauge a lip balm than a lip stick since I use lip balms more. Oh well! It's something new to try =).
