I'm sure most are aware of Revlon Lip Butters by now?
Well in a matter of days the will launch in the UK...the 12th of March if I am not mistaken.
Sadly the UK will only be receiving 14 of the 20 shades that are available in the US/Canada
which I am a little annoyed about as I always feel like the UK gets the short end of the stick
when it comes to shade ranges and I am not specifically targeting Revlon for this
as a good few brands are just as guilty!
I thought I'd share the shades I have imported so you can have a better idea of the shades
before you purchase any later on this month.
Much like the other products by Revlon these little lip wonders come packaged complete
with the quilted design on the plastic outer sleeves, it gives a slight high end feel.
Each shades packaging matches the shade inside, I do like a bit of colour coordination!
In my opinion the casing is pretty, practical and sturdy which is all I can ask for.
Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle is supposedly one of the many lip shades Rihanna
wore during London Fashion Week, sadly I can not confirm nor deny this.
Creamsicle appears to be a muted orange peach in bullet form
yet applied it yields almost nude, on my lips it is almost in the concealer lipstick category.
I feel this shade is one you'll either love or hate due to it not being the most flattering.
I think those with darker skins will suit this best but that is just my two cents.
I wish it leaned slightly more orange or even coral!
The formula of these is something else, I had no idea I would enjoy wearing these quite as much as I do!
Generally speaking the shades are well pigmented and glide on very much like a traditional lip balm.
Yet they superior colour pay off in comparison to a standard tinted lip balm.
Each shade gives a semi-opaque coverage of colour with a light glossy finish,
they are very moisturising and comfortable to wear.
I liken these a little to Mac Cremesheen lipsticks as they feel and wear very similar on my lips,
obviously each one of us will have different results but this is what they remind me of.
the Revlon Lip Butters have a very mild typical lipstick scent but nothing noticeable when worn.
I found these to wear around 2-3 hours some shades wore longer than others
but they are not exactly long lasting.
Overall I am very impressed with these lipstick/lip balm hybrids!
Product Summary
Round Up - A great combination of lipstick and lip balm that gives the best of both worlds.
Best For - Fans of tinted lip balms or light moisturising lip coverage!
Pigmentation - Generally 7/10 but really great for what it is.
Availability - These hit the UK mid March (12th I think?) I have no idea how much these will retail for.
Beautiful! I can't wait till they hit Irish shelves, though my purse won't thank me.
ReplyDeleteAs always your pictures are fabulous, now I've a hella hankering for a cream donut!! *shakes fist*
I hope they don't keep you irish lovelies waiting :(
Deletehaha yes it should come with a warning...you may want cream based products haha!
Love this, cake looks yummy too x
ReplyDeleteGreat review! There seems to be conflicting reports on when these land; some say 14th March, others 20th March, so it's a bit confusing! xx
ReplyDeleteAh really, I read the 12th? God knows I think they want to keep us guessing haha!
DeleteAhhhhh can't wait... every time you post one of these I am getting more and more excited.

DeleteI got this thinking it would be a nice nude color for me... but unfortunately, it looked horrible on me! I'm so disappointed, this is the first and only revlon lip butter I've got.. I wish I had seen this review earlier!
ReplyDeleteI agree it is not the prettiest shade in the bunch.
DeleteSucks that it didn't suit you but there is lots of pretty shades to try though :)
I am so excited for these to be coming to the UK...x

ReplyDeleteHaha the cream donuts seem to have went down a treat with you all :)
DeleteThis colour looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try! :)
Thank you :) I can't wait to get a few more too :)
DeleteI really like this shade although I think I'm probably too pale to pull it off. I can't wait to see what other shades they have available. Lovely packaging as well. xxx

DeleteCant wait for these to be released in the UK! I love the look of this colour and the light pink one
ReplyDeletex
Not long to go now :) thank you so much!
DeleteI really wish the UK and US were treated the same, so many awesome products are easily available over there and when we finally get them we are robbed of a few shades! Lets petition lol to the beauty ambassador? lol
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know when these are released too, I have signed up to boots alert for when they are being released, thought I would have heard something by now, grr.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who is a little cheesed off about that, if I was a betting woman (which i'm not) i'd place my money on the deeper shades being dropped. Haha i'm with you sign me up haha!
DeleteI have heard conflicting dates 12th,14th and 20th of this month, if I hear anything I will update :)

ReplyDeleteI hate when a lipstick sticks to dry patches on my lips, and nudes always do... It's a rare find to get one that doesn't :(
ReplyDeletei cant wait for these as i have really dry lips and its hard to wear some lipsticks :)

This shade reminds me of a slightly more orange version of the MAC Sheen Supreme, Sheer Mandarin. This formula wasn't for me but I'm glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get this colour from? Everywhere else is sold out! :( I love this colour so much!
ReplyDeleteGreat review as always, can't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I just read this because of CatsArsePR, and I was actually already following your blog =)
