#WIT Lipstick Review: Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter

Lipstick is probably my favourite thing in makeup, and I tend to gravitate towards lipsticks when it comes to trying out a new brand or if there is a makeup sale going on. That's why I've accumulated way too many lipsticks so I've decided to share my thoughts on different brands and formulas of lipsticks rather than leaving them rot on my makeup vanity. 
Let's begin this #WIT lipstick review with one of my old favourite back when I started collecting makeup, which is the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter.

The Revlon lip butters comes in around 20 shades, and on their site it's described as buttery balm, shiny colour, also it contains hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter to boost up the lip's moisture by 156%.

Pigmentation:
Sheer - medium 

Finishing:
Shiny like a lip gloss, which can get a bit sticky with hair

Texture:
Extremely buttery and smooth
Colours with glitters can feel a tiny bit rough

Longevity:
Not long at all since it's very balmy and will come off easily

Pros 
  • Moisturizing (can pass without priming with lip balm)
  • Natural looking because of its balmy finish
  • Quite pigmented comparing to tinted lip balm
  • Large range of colours
Cons
  • Doesn't last at all
  • Glitters are a bit too chunky

Unfortunately I've read somewhere online saying that Revlon has decided to discontinue the lip butters in Australia which is just a shame :(

The Revlon lip butters are basically pigmented tinted lip balm, and if you're someone who doesn't want to wear such bold lipsticks but still want to experiment with colours, give these a go. I usually wear the more natural colours on days I don't wear any eye makeup or much makeup in general because it brings life back to my face. Peach Parfait is probably my favourite one out of all because it's the most versatile colour that I can with or without makeup, and it's already my second tube (this says something about someone who has over 60 lipsticks). I love the sheer - medium pigmented because it gives a transparent look to your lips, so it doesn't look like you got heavy makeup on and you will look more approachable.
