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.
Strawberry Shortcake is a mid toned dusky pink that is cool in tone
and has a slight hint of lilac/purple in certain lights.
It reminds me a little of MAC Angel and is a very easy to wear, universal shade.
The pigmentation of this shade will allow all skin tones to wear this
but this could look a little stark on deep tones as it is fairly light in colour.
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.
Love the look of this! Will definitely be picking one up when they come into stores xx

I am really confused and annoyed, Revlon UK have said before on their facebook page that it will be released on March 14. Then they announced that in order to get it you must sign on the waiting list on boots website, but honestly I believe that it's just a trick they are using to know how much is the demand to know how much they should offer. In other words they want it to look like a hard to get product so everyone would go crazy and buy it!! Do not get me wrong, I am certainly going to buy a few, but I am starting to get annoyed by the marketing methods that Revlon and Boots are using!! what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI think you are very clever and noticed something that I for one did not :)
DeleteI feel you may well be right and I do think the 1st batch will sell out and cause hysteria but no-one should panic as they are not L.E. Great point :)
Yes, it true it is going to be a permanent line so I guess they want to make sure that the sales will continue throught the year. Thanks for answering my post, this is something other bloggers take lightly.. Best wishes:)
DeleteWhat a sweet shade! It looks adorable on you, i'm glad the color shows as well as it does!
