Revlon Lip Butters!

So today, I want to share with you one of my most loved products since the beginning of this year, which are the Revlon Lip Butters. When it first came out, it was sold out in every drugstore near me so it took me a while to find the ones I wanted to try out.


As you can see, I own 6 of them, the colors are (from left to right): Creamsicle, Sugar Frosting, Cupcake, Candy Apple, Tutti Frutti, Sweet Tart. I'm thinking about picking a few more up but they need to be restocked in my local Walgreens first. XD

Formula wise, I love these~ They are very moisturizing and some of the shades pack on a lot of pigment, just like a lipstick. They can also be worn sheer for a hint of color. For some reason, some of my lip butters are unscented while a few of them have a slight sweet vanilla scent to them. I'm not bother by this at all though, since the smell is very light and not noticeable after a few minutes. The finish of these are somewhat dewy looking but they are in no way sticky, feels just like butter. I hate sticky lip products! If you don't like giltter, I'd suggest looking at the tip of the cap to double check since some of them, like Peach Parfait has glitter suspended in it.

065 Creamsicle:
This is more of a light peachy color and it lightens up my lips quiet a bit. This color might not look that great on darker skin tones.

005 Sugar Frosting:
This is a very sheer lip color. This one has a bit of a frosty look to it so I like to use it when I'm not wearing too much makeup.

055 Cupcake:
I actually am disappointed in this color since it makes my teeth look yellower than they are. This is a purple tone pink that has the same finish like Sugar Frosting.

090 Sweet Tart:
I think this color is really nice if you're looking for a brighter pink color.

015 Tutti Frutti:
This color is straight up orange and I love it but I don't have much to say about it. It can be a bit hard to wear if you want to wear it opaque.

035 Candy Apple:
I think this is a warmer red but it's really easy to wear. This is coming from a person who is scared of red lipsticks.


To add to this, I picked up the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in the color Charm. This is a more orange version of Creamsicle and it leaves a really nice coral stain. So far, I don't love it nor hate it. I do have to say that it made my lips peel so I'm not sure if I'm having an allergic reaction to it or not.

These past few weeks, I've been trying out many different skin care lines to help with my acne problem but I haven't found anything I love yet. Adult acne is so frustrating to deal with. :[
