I had heard many a guru obsess over the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters when they came out, so of course, I had to try one. The color I got was Berry Smoothie, a true berry pink with subtle shimmer.
As far as pigmentation goes, these are pretty pigmented, more like a lipstick than a tinted lip balm, more creamy than balmy. Then there's the formula. I think this product is way too over-hyped, and definitely not worth it. I found this product to be very gritty, and not very moisturizing, although it's obviously better than nothing. I guess the way it'd been hyped up made me have super high expectations that weren't met. It also tends to stray outside the lip line. The flavor is kind of an artificial vanilla cake, but nothing too bad. The color I picked, which is a very popular one, didn't exactly float the boat either. I also just hate any shimmer on me, so this wasn't all too great.
The packaging is pretty nice. I like how you can see the color of the product through the tube and on the quilted packaging. However, the problem I have is that the product rubs off on the top of the tube every time the product retracts. Messy and wasteful. Also, this didn't really come with a lot of product. As you can see, I don't have much product left, yet I didn't even use that much. I don't know how I feel about that, especially because this was pretty expensive for a drugstore product.
Here it is on me. Not the best photo/lighting, I know.
What do you think of these lip butters. Worth the hype?
