Over the last few months, I have noticed a steady stream of comments and reviews, pushing Revlon's Colourburst Lip Butters as the must-have lip product of the moment. Eventually, my curiosity got the better of me and I had to give them a go. At first, I purchased 001 Pink Truffle, a pinky-red colour that is a few shades darker than my natural lip. I was so impressed that a week later, I extended my collection further with purchases of 050 Berry Smoothie, 085 Sugar Plum, and 096 Macaroon.
The moisturising properties of this product are second to none, in terms of drugstore products. I have often suffered from dry, chapped lips, and have tried almost every affordable product on the market in the attempt to combat this problem. I can therefore categorically state that these Lip Butters are by far the most luxuriously moisturising product I have tried to date, and within moments of slicking them on, my lips become soothed and smooth.
In terms of lasting power, the colour does not maintain for as long as a lipstick, but it certainly lasts longer than the average tinted balm or gloss. In fact, even though the initial sheen and depth of colour seems to fade within an hour or so, the lip retains a certain amount of pigmentation (similar to the properties of a tint product) for a good few hours afterwards, and the moisturisation lasts for a similar length of time.
The range boasts a wide variety of colours, so there is something to suit every skintone and need. From deep fuchsias and Barbie pinks, to red tints and peach tones, there is something for everyone.
I would definitely recommend Revlon Lip Butters as a make-up bag must-have, and even though the staying power may not live up to other lipstick brands, the colour and moisture certainly lasts longer than any other product of this kind. The packaging is sleek, reminiscent of Chanel quilting, and overall, they are certainly worth giving a go.
