Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters - Lip Swatches Part 2

This is a continuation of more Revlon Lip butters that i picked up after making my first purchase. Yes i did go a little nuts with these lippies *hides face in shame*. But i love them:) 
These i would say are some of the brighter shades. Lollipop is definitely a lip colour that is way out of my comfort zone but u know what, new year, new resolutions. I'm gonna try rock this baby!

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters - Lip Swatches

So as promised here are the swatches of the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters that i recently purchased and did a first impressions HERE. Now I have since bought a few more colours and there will be a second post with swatches of them.

So what do i think:
Lasting power, nothing great than any ordinary lippy. 2 hours of wear before i need a touch up.

They do not dry out my lips surprisingly as i tend to get very dry lips when i use most lipsticks and have to apply a balm in between touch ups, i guess the name lip butters does have some truth to it;)

Colour selection is pretty awesome, all though as you can see from the swatches some colours do not suit me, I am totally in love with Tutti Frutti and Red Velvet. Basically there is bound to be a colour that you might like.

Peach Parfait is the only sparkly shade I have and it's definitely not gritty in texture and decently pigmented. The other shades just have a glossy finish to them.

Creme Brulee
Berry Smoothie

Pink Truffle

Peach Parfait

Tutti Frutti

Red Velvet

I'm loving these lippys at the moment, I find i tend to reach for them more so than my other lippys. And considering the amount I have, this says a lot:)
Look out for Part 2 soon.

First Impressions - Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters

These are all the craze on Youtube/ in the blogosphere. Our lucky fellow bloggers from across the pond have been raving about these lippies . So i finally gave in and purchased 6 of these lippies through trusty old eBay and these are my first impressions on them.

Initially as i swatched them on my hand they struck me as to being waxy in texture as opposed to creamy which was what I imagined them to be. I mean come on, lip butter, no brainer rite. So i was a little disappointed there, but as i kept playing around with them them, trying them on my lips i came to the conclusion that despite not being as moisturizing as i expected them to be, i really like them.

Main reason being, i can see myself being able to slap this on when i'm in a pinch.These are definitely the kind of lipsticks you don't have to think about when applying. The lighter shades give a slight colour and glossiness to the lips and the darker shades are more pigmented if you want a little more colour on your lips. Despite being waxy in formulation they feel good on my lips, so it feels like a balm but with more colour payoff. 


My  picks out of the bunch are Tutti Frutti, a gorgeous coral which is so gonna be my go-to for summer and Red Velvet. This is definitely a red i will be able to rock in the daytime, in fact anytime without feeling odd.
I haven't as yet tested out they're lasting power and how moisturizing they are etc as i have been stuck in my room studying and having a whole week of no makeup, so I will be doing lip swatches in an upcoming post together with my final thoughts on them after i give them a proper test run.

Top to bottom: Creme Brulee, Peach Parfait, Pink Truffle, Tutti Frutti, Berry Smoothie, Red Velvet

Overall based on first impressions, I am impressed. So impressed that I  have already put in another order online for other shades!!!I'm crazy i know ;)

Have you tried Revlon Lip Butters? What are your thoughts?
