Loads of American beauty gurus on YouTube started raving the Revlon Lip Butters back in October of 2011. They all said they were amazing and a perfect mix of a lipstick and lipgloss - not too sticky and incredibly moisturising.
I was dying to try them.
They were released in early February in the UK and yes, I am late on the bandwagon here! I picked up three of the fourteen shades available just to test them out to see if I was a fan.
I picked up Crème Brûlée, Peach Parfait and Strawberry Shortcake.
Swatches!

Overall, I really love these products. To me, they are in-between a lipstick and a lip balm. Most of the colours are sheer but are build able and some of the shades are extremely pigmented just like a lipstick. Out of the three I own, my favourite is Strawberry Shortcake - it looks pigmented in the container and the swatch but when you apply it, it becomes very sheer and really pretty. I also love Peach Parfait; I think this will be my summer go-to shade. The shimmer is gorgeous! Creme Brûlée is a gorgeous colour however I think it's a bit too light for my skin tone. I think it would suit pale skin tones much more as it has a light orange undertone. I can barley see it on myself!
The only negative (*gasp*) about them is the price. For a drugstore product, £7.99 is pretty expensive and in theory, you don't get that much product.
Despite this, I am definitely going to purchase more of the shades. If any of you (in the UK) are struggling to find them, I got mine from Boots. They have just re-stocked on their website. Click here!
