So the Revlon Lip Butters have finally hit British soil but again not without problems,
it seems they have still to be rolled out in many stores if Twitter is anything to go by.
My tip is check the smaller Boots stores as that is where I found mine,
okay there was only 7 shades but they had plenty of stock so it is worth a try?
Also Glasgow ladies there was plenty of stock in the Sauchiehall Street store.
I apologise for all the lip butter reviews and thank you all for hanging around :)
not many to go now!
Sadly the UK will only be receiving 14 of the 20 shades that are available in the US/Canada,
I have provided a list of shades that will be available in UK for reference purposes - link.
Once I pick up the last shade Frosting I will compile a full swatch chart/gallery.
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 Macaroon is a UK exclusive
and best described as a reddened dusty pink with a blue under tone.
It is one of the better pigmented shades but not really all that special in terms of colour,
I guess it will sell well as it is an exclusive and an easy enough to wear shade.
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, available via Boots
£7.99 each or 3 for 2 - link
I just picked up 'Candy Apple'. I had a £2 off Revlon voucher so it was a bargain! It has a really nice texture!

DeleteYour photos are always so great, this looks like a really nice shade! x
ReplyDeleteAww thank you :)
DeleteOkay this is probably a comment you weren't expecting but, where did you get the macaroons from? I LOVE MACAROONS!
ReplyDeleteHaha no I thought someone would ask :) Morrisons of all places £3 for 12!
DeletePretty colour. Can I ask where did you buy your macaroons ?
ReplyDeleteSure can :) Morrisons :)

I couldn't agree more, haha you can have them I really dislike the taste!
DeleteI bought this colour and I thought I would love it but it came out a bit differently! Nice colour though and great post! :D Was about too pick up Peach Parfait today but I had to buy my friend her birthday presents, which I had now! :)

Aww you did the decent thing though :)
DeleteI think I like this color.. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm unsure of it if I am honest :)
DeleteLadurée have the most amazing macaroons, expensive but worth every penny. x
ReplyDeleteI've heard that :) but I don't actually like Macaroons at all haha :)
DeleteThis looks gorgeous on your lips but not sure it's my favourite out of the range! X
ReplyDeleteThank you and I agree not my fav either :)
DeleteIt looks gorgeous on you! <3

I have Macaroon as well! However, on my lips, it only looks good under electric lights (in the evening) and not in day light... ;-p
ReplyDeleteIt's a funny old shade isn't it, i'm not a fan of it either :)
DeleteOh my god you go to so much effort for this blog! I love that you photographed macaroons with macaroon lipstick! You are one cool dude. I really want to get some lip butters!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much :) you are too kind!
DeleteI don't mean to sound rude, but those are MACARONS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron ), not MACAROONS( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroon ).
ReplyDeleteWell I don't mean to be rude when I point out that Wikipedia is hardly the most reliable source of information available as anyone can edit it and I have not used the term Macaroons in my post/review only the comments and that is because if you type in Macarons in the comment section blogger spell check states that is the wrong spelling and the correct spelling is Macaroons as spell check generally has better spelling than I, I went with it.
DeleteA "macaron" is what the French call a macaroon specifically made with almond floor. In other words, a "macaron" is a specific type of the more general "macaroon."
DeleteThat looks lovely! I bought Candy Apple the other day and I love the texture and look of the Lip Butters. x

I'm IN LOVE with that color! But of course I would love a shade that I can't get my hands on in the U.S. :( Any suggestions on how I might be able to get this?
ReplyDeleteThe UK may only have received 14 of the 20 American shades, but I think Macaroon might be UK-exclusive. At the very least, it's not a shade available here in Canada. I've never come across it, and an Americon blogger suggested to me that it's a UK-exclusive shade. You lucky ducks!
