I finally caved. Yes, I bought two of the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters. I couldn't help it - I've read so many good things about them, it was only time until I snagged one (or two): Cherry Tart and Sugar Plum.
Packaging is similar to the regular ColorBurst line of lipsticks, only the case is semi-clear - kind of like a faceted gemstone. I think they are really pretty, personally.
Cherry Tart is a sheer red that can easily become more intense with further application. Because this is a butter, you don't get a true opaque coverage, ultimately allowing your tones to mold the color. Truly, this is the neutral girl's red. Easy to wear, and it feels great too!
Sugar Plum is, as the name suggests, a warmer plum/purple shade. On my skin swatch below, it almost looks brown, but when applied to the lips it is a beautiful plum to berry shade.
On the lips below, you can see there is excellent pigmentation to these. This is two applications, so obviously it's a bit more intense than just one.
It's official, I love these. I love the texture - it truly feels like butter, as the name suggests. It melts into my lips, but actually lasts a while once applied. The color selection is really nice, too. There are those that are lighter and less pigmented (Cotton Candy and Cupcake, for instance) and those that knock it out of the park...i.e. Cherry Tart. I will definitely be looking to get a few more of these when the time is right. These make the perfect addition to your purse or desk drawer in the winter time, when I'm always reaching for my lip balm, but longing for a little bit more... like color!
Retail is $7.99-$8.99, depending on where you shop.
Did you get any of these? What is your favorite color?
