Revlon Lip Butter Review

     Hey Everybody! So about a month ago I went to riteaid and I saw this huge display for the Revlon Lipbutters, I was so excited becuase I had been looking for them everywhere but hadn't found any. So when I saw the display I had to grab one!

     The first one I got was a dark berry pink/red (Raspberry Pie) and I absolutely loved it, it was super moisturizing and MUCH more pigmented than I thought it was going to be. The only problem I had was that the color was a tad bit too contrasting against my fair skin for me to be comfortable using it for everyday wear. Don't get me wrong I love a good bold lip, and if you can rock it everyday, go for it, it's just not my thing. 

     So, the next day, I went back to the store and I bought a second one, this color much more wearable, it was a light pink (Cupcake), when I got home, I did a really quick swatch, and at first, I was disappointed in the pigmentation, but when I tried it on my lips, it looked so much more pigmented and the color was just gorgeous, I found this one to be even more long wearing than the other, and it stayed in place better.

      In case you were wondering, there is a large selection of colors, something for every skin tone and personality. These are just the two that caught my eye the most. Speaking about catching my eye, can we talk packaging? These lipbutters have the colorburst packaging, that adorable quilted look, except the casing is clear and it matches the color of the lipbutter. I like this a lot better because right off you can tell the color.

I know, I'm trying to get better at swatching, its a work in progress :)

I got this kit for Christmas, and I have been testing it out since then (approx. 2 months). This has turned into my everyday makeup, I love this set. It is a collection of five, mini, full-look palettes, each with 10 eye shadows, 2 lip colors, and 1 blush. Each of the palettes have a name, Boho Bombshell, Classics never die, Angelic Boudoir, Black is the new Black, and A nod to Mod. All of the eye shadows are pigmented, and most of them are smooth (although one or two of the palettes have a chunky glitter shadow). All of the colors blend well, and the lip colors range from very pigmented to practically sheer, and are very smooth.

1. Boho Bombshell - Most of the shadows in this palette have a satin finish, except for the dark teal at the top, this has a bit more glitter to it. And the dark blue next to it is mostly matte with bits of glitter in it.

-In this palette, you get a dark blue, dark teal, warm taupe, a deep burgundy, a gunmetal silver, a lighter burgundy color,a very light silver, a warm golden color, a creme color, and a pale skin toned color.

-The lip colors in this palette (a red and dark brownish red) are both extremely pigmented.

-The blush is a deep rosy color, good for contouring, and for the cheeks if you use a very light hand and blend well (can easily be overdone).

2. Classics Never Die - You get a lot more matte colors in this palette than the last one.

-The top two are both matter, a brownish-gray color as well as an olive-toned brown (my eyebrow color - if any of you have dark brown hair - this is perfect!). The next two rows have more of a satin finish, A taupe-brown color, a yellow-gold, a very light taupe brown, and a darker gold, the next is a matte light taupe color (this may be good for blondes' eyebrow color :) a lighter orangey-gold, a matte light peach color, and a very light sating creme color.

-The lip colors, a berry pink and a pinky-red are also very pigmented and extremely glossy.

-The blush is a light peachy-pink color very good for your cheeks, and easy to apply and blend.

3. Angelic Boudoir - A bit more colorful than the last two, very pretty, feminine colors. Most satin finishes.

-There is a green-teal color, a dark purple-pink color, royal blue, an olive color, a gray-silver, a dusty-rose color, a pastel purple, a tan-taupe, a glittery white (chunky glitter) and a matte light peach.

-The two lip colors, a peachy-pink and a shimmery white, are both on the sheer side.

-The blush is a bright pink great for cheeks, and easily blended.

4. Black is the new Black - (Cheesy name hehe :o) This palette is mostly blacks and grays, it is great for smokey eyes (dramatic or simple).

-The first color is a matte black then a matte gray, a sparkly black (chunky glitter, most of which is lost when applied :o( and the glitter that is on your eyelid feels bad) A dark gunmetal, a dark silver, a gray-silver, a light silver, a light peach-tan color, a matte white, and a dusty rose.

-The first lip color is a baby-doll pink which is pretty pigmented, and the next is a very nude and sheer gloss.

-The blush is a very pale pink which is very light and gives you a nice glowy blush.

5. A nod to Mod - Very colorful and fun :oD

-The eye colors are a dark forest green, a very light blue- teal, a bright green, a matte teal, a bright fuschia, a bright orange, a matte purple, a gold, a two-tone creme-white (in certain lights it looks blue purple :o), and a creme color.

-The lip colors are a two tone pink which is very pigmented ( favorite lip color in this set! :o) and a shimmery pink which is sheer.

-The blush is VERY bright pink, its so fun - and i only use it occasionally, its a very pretty color, but if you use it be sure to blend it well or it looks kind of clownish :o)

Over all, I love all of the colors and shadows and lip colors and blushes in this set. I think the best thing about is that there is a pop out set so you can put one palette in there and take it with you wherever you go.

I hope this post was helpful :o) xoxo
