Revlon Lip Butter

Finally! I have got my eager little paws on the long awaited Revlon Lip Butters! Revlon promised us the world with these lip butters, did they deliver?
The Revlon Lip Butters are halfway between a lip balm and a lipstick. I would say these lean more towards the lipstick side. Being a lip balm aficionado, I had high hopes for the lip butters but I didn’t find them to be as hydrating as I hoped they would be.  It goes on lovely and looks nice and glossy for about an hour when the glossy look wears off however the colour remains for between 2-3 hours.
I thought the price tag of £7.99 was a little steep, and then I saw the packaging (I’m a sucker for nice packaging!). They look like a lipstick and the outside is the same colour as the product inside which I love!
The colours I got were 080 Strawberry Shortcake and 025 Peach Parfait. I don’t like the peach parfait as it has too much gold shimmer for my liking but I do really like the strawberry shortcake.
Overall, I really like the Revlon Lip Butters, they have great colour payoff and they have a nice smooth texture to them. For me, this product is a nice creamy lipstick; I wouldn’t use this as a lip balm.
