Review and Swatches: Colorburst Lip Butters by REVLON ♥



New REVLON Colorburst Lip Butters are a different take on just an average lipstick because they are mixture between a lip balm and a lipstick. Although this may not be a completely new concept these new Colorburst Lip Butters are truly amazing and are pretty much the best lip products out there today that gives an obvious colour as well as moisturizing your lips.

There is definitely a shade for everyone! They come in 20 different beautiful colours and they all have a somewhat to really glossy finish. They are not as opaque as lipstick but personally I prefer that for every day wear. Another great thing about these is that because they still have a translucent element to them they can help you step out of your comfort zone and wear bolder shades like red or magenta.

I bought 10 different colours:


I have a medium coloured skin tone and I pretty much wear a nude lip everyday so my favourite Colorburst Lip Butters are “Crème Brulee” with “Brown Sugar” layered on top, these two colours paired together give me a nice “non-dead” nude colour. The nude look achieved with these two colours will also look amazing on basically any skin tone. If you have lighter skin you would add more of the “Crème Brulee” and if you are darker you would add more of the “Brown Sugar”. It says they can be worn on top of a lip liner or without a lip liner, I personally just wear them on their own and they look awesome. 


All the Colorburst Lip Butters are pretty long lasting but none of them last as long lasting as a lipstick so you will need to do a couple touch ups during the day. You will definitely have to touch up your lips after meals or drinks like any other lip balm.

they come fully sealed with a
strong sticker on the side
These are different from most lip balms or lip butters because they are not a sheer coat of colour, the majority of these Colorburst Lip Butters are really pigmented and they are pretty much true to the colour of the packaging. I love that they come completely sealed, which just takes the stress off having to inspect it like I have to for many drugstore product. The packaging itself is the same as the Colourbust lipsticks but the colour of each lid depends on the colour of the lip butter. They also have clear plastic on the top so you can see the actual product itself if you don’t have a tester available.

Something I don’t like about these Colorburst Lip Butters is that because they are so creamy they tend to deform fast, and they also lightly smear on the inside of the barrel. Another thing that I don’t like is that the pigmentation is inconsistent. The darker colours are more pigmented then the lighter colours. The lighter colours only show up nicely on paler lips, which is a bummer because I don’t have pale lips and all the lighter colours are so pretty.

All the Colorburst Lip Butters glide on the lips really smoothly and they are one of my favourite drugstore products. I highly recommend them because they are very moisturizing and hydrating like they claim. They are very easy to take off even with just a tissue and for the most part they don’t stain your lips.

In Canada they are available at stores like Wal-Mart, Zellers and most common drugstores (at Shoppers Drugmart they retail for around $10.99 each). Right now they are a very popular product so they may be sold out in many stores but fortunately they are a permanent item from REVLON so if you can’t find them now you will definitely be able to get your hands on them soon enough.

Stay Fabulous!
