Look who is back with another Revlon Lip Butter...yup only little ol' me.
It must seem as if I am obsessed with Revlon Butters and do you know what I really am.
I am not afraid to admit that I squealed a little when I laid hands on a few of the limited edition shades which are now on both the Superdrug and Boots websites should you fancy picking up one or two - link.
Just so we are all clear and in case Red Velvet has sold out on either site - Red Velvet is not, I repeat is not a limited edition shade! Along with Sugar Plum and Brown Sugar said shades are the new additions to the already expansive Revlon Lip Butter line up here in the UK. For a full swatch gallery which I will update once more tonight please view this - link.
So yes Revlon Red Velvet, a seemingly deep and vampy red based brown in bullet form which does retain it's strong brown undertone on the lips but translates to a far sheerer shade on the lips.
In my opinion Red Velvet isn't that far removed from a plum shade, it's quite a sexy shade without being too deep and is a great slightly stronger day lip choice.
If you ask me Revlon missed a beat and should have launched the new shades last Autumn as all three are very approriate for such season, now Spring/Summer is on the way I'm willing to bet most of us are looking for brighter choices? None the less it is a lovely hue and one that will suit most.
Generally speaking the Revlon Lip Butters are well pigmented and glide on very much like a traditional lip balm. Yet they offer 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 and should you wish you can build the colour up in layers. 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, all in all a wonderful formula for the warmer months.
Revlon Lip Butter in Red Velvet hasn't properly launched yet but will do this month (no exact date as of yet)
however you can be sneaky and order via both Superdrug and Boots - link
This is an amazing red, I got it through a CP a while ago on MUA and it's easily my favourite red. It's very wearable and the pigmentation is fab.

On me, it looks how it does in the tube. Strange to see it looking pretty pink on your lips.
ReplyDeleteAgreed and I don't have the most pigmented lips either?
DeleteLooks gorgeous! I'm definitely going to get my hands on it as soon as it comes out :)

I got a couple of the pink lemonade shade from boots on line. Its not cool toned to me. Its like a sheer less pigmented version of mac hue on. I will only use this shade to go over and revive my dryer lipsticks. My fave lip butter is still creamsicle.x
ReplyDeleteCreamsicle looks lovely on everyone bar me haha!
DeleteThis is so gorgeous.

I got this from the states last year and it looks a lot darker on me than you! The colour seems more wearable on you I have to pat mine on and smudge out :) xo
ReplyDeleteA few have said that which leads me to believe I may have a dud or the likes.
DeleteOnce they launch properly I'll buy another and update the post if needs be :)
Mine too appears much darker on me and more red. My lips are naturally pigmented though.
Deletewoah it's actually pretty purple! was expecting it to be more red but still love the colour :) x

i love the lip butters but this one seems to be a completely different colour on your lips than i thought it would be. :/

This shade of the Revlon Lip Butters might just be my favourite (right next to Raspberry Pie). I wore the crap out of it around Christmas time, and am still reaching for it even as we are approaching Spring (I think?). I like that you can really layer up these lippies to make a pretty darn opaque colour!

This is one colour so far that I really like! I only have about 4 lip butters........but that one looks great. Might look rubbish against my hair skin tone though!
ReplyDeleteO_O It's sooooooooo much redder on my lips!!!
ReplyDeleteThe shade looks so much more pink on your lips than on the tube :O Love the color though! xx

It seems different than the red velvet one we have in canada. weird
ReplyDeleteNice! This is the first of the Revlon Lip Butters I've really liked the look of. But it's quite a wintery colour I think.
