Quick look: Revlon Colorburst Lipbutter in Brown Sugar! (swatches!)

It's official! I spotted Revlon colorburst lip butters just about two weeks ago at Watsons, Gaurdian and at Revlon stands in NTUC! I grabbed a copy of the advert pamphlet laying tucked away at the side!

The bad news is that we only have 8 shades out of 21! Boo hoo!!

I picked up 020 Brown sugar with a 20% off at Watsons so I paid about $12 SGD instead of the U.P. of $15.95!

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter! In 020 Brown Sugar!

Only 8 shades of 21 can be found here...at least there seems to be a shade in each category of color, one coral, one pink, one red, one brown, one light pink...etc

Here is a review post of all the shades of Revlon Lip Butters from Karla Sugar's website!

Photos are from the linked post!

The shades avaliable in Singapore are the following...

• Peach Parfait
• Cherry Tart
• Fig Jam
• Brown Sugar
• Lolipop
• Macaroon
• Strawberry Shortcake
• Sugar Plum

At least there seems to be a shade in every major color group however I wished they had brought it up to 12 colors...I'd have added Creme Brulee, Tutti Frutti, Red Velvet and Raspberry pie!

I got myself 020 Brown Sugar! Knew I would love this color!

You don't get much product though...

Looks like a solid coco color in the tube!

Packaging & Product!

 

I think the packaging is really nice, feels like an extra luxe lipbalm packaged like a lipstick. I also dig the fact that the case of the tube matches the lip butter inside! 

The product itself is quite special, I see this being a hit with people who don't like the heavy feel/coverage of lipsticks. This would be good for pre-teens and younger girls who want something glossy with some color. 

I really enjoy the smooth, definitely buttery texture, it glides on so easily and kicks some color just like a sheer lipstick. It doesn't last very long on it's own as it is like a lipbalm.

I'm not afraid to over apply or to have it bleed as it is slippery enough but does not go outside my lips easily. I love to use this to tone down the color of my natural lips especially when I have darker eye looks. 

 

Bare lips! Very pink, sometimes it doesn't look very nice with darker eye make up!

Paid: $12 (UP $15.95 SGD/ $12.80 USD)

They are comparatively pricier compared to what you pay in the States but this is a lot cheaper than regular drugstore lipsticks from Revlon/L'oreal/Maybelline)

Recommend: Yes!


Repurchase: Yes, I'll be going after peach parfait, sugar plum and macaroon!

Bottom line: For people looking for something that is light, glossy and easy to use this is for you! If you don't mind spending extra on a colored balm, it's not good for long hours, use stick to regular lipstick for that.

Have you tried the lip butters? Any favorite shade? Let me know!
