October 2011

That’s it, I broke.  I went back to Rite Aid and picked up four additional Revlon Colorburst lip butters.  I just could not help myself.  They are my newest obsession.

I stopped a few other places looking for these and couldn’t find them anywhere.  And I can’t believe there is no info about these at Revlon.com.  It’s like a great mystery.

So this time before tossing the little sticker seals, I took a closer look at the ingredients.  Here’s some ingredients that must make these little buggers so moisturizing and great feeling.

Jojoba Seed Oil
Shea Butter
Mango Seed Butter
Coconut Oil

Oh, and I forgot to mention the packaging!  I think these tubes are so pretty.  Each tube has a vibrant and colorful frosted cover with a clear top.  The top lets you get a bird’s eye view of the color inside.

I went for some bolder colors this time around.  The color payoff on these is really good.  The first two shades are still pretty sheer but the second two shades are very pigmented.  Here’s what I got this time around:

Creme Brulee – A really nice sheer nude that gives your lips a touch of color.  Great for an everyday moisturizer.

Pink Truffle – A blend between nude and pink.  One of those “my lips but better” shades.

Lollipop – Hold on to your seats, this is a bright fuchsia pink.  Highly pigmented, lots of color with this one.

Candy Apple – A colorful strawberry red color.

The Lollipop and Candy Apple colors are definitely bold.  They give nice saturated color and are buildable for an even more vibrant look.  Swatches of  Brown Sugar, Cotton Candy and Peach Parfait can also be seen on my original Revlon Colorburst lip butter post.

Tell me what you think.  Would you buy any of these colors for yourself?

FYI – Kristi commented on my first lip butter post stating that these will be a permanent part of the Revlon line and are supposed to be widely available in January.  Thanks Kristi!

Yesterday I ran over to my local Rite Aid in search of Halloween candy.  We’re only a week away from Halloween so I wanted to be prepared for trick or treat night.  You can’t go into Rite Aid or CVS without looking to see what’s new in cosmetics right?  Cause that would be just crazy.  I’m so glad I took a gander though cause I found something really cool!

Revlon has come out with tinted lip butters!  Whoa, what?  Yep, you heard me right.  I guess it’s a new addition to their already popular Colorburst line.  I’ve only had them for one day and I’m already obsessed!  I so want to go back for more colors.

The collection consisted of so many color shades that it was really hard to pick without being able to swatch them.  I settled on three colors: Brown Sugar, Cotton Candy and Peach Parfait.

These lip butters feel really nice on my lips.  They go on smoothly with a nice amount of sheer color and shine.  I like that they feel more like a lipstick and not like a flavored chapstick or gloss.  I recently tried the Maybelline Baby Lips and I like these way more for that reason.  They don’t leave any stickiness and there’s no scent or flavor.

If I had to compare these to something, I’d say they remind me of Dior Addict lipsticks.  Only they are way, way cheaper.  I bought the Revlon lip butters for $7.49 each while the Dior Addict lipsticks cost $28.00 each.  They both give the same amount of sheer color and feel almost exactly alike when worn.

I really like these lip butters a lot.  I hope they become part of Revlon’s permanent line.  Have you tried these yet?  If you have, what’s your favorite color?
