Candy apple

Revlon ColorBurst lip butters - £7.99

I was intrigued to try these as i heard loads about them and Revlon isn't really a brand i buy. I wasnt sure whether i would like these or not as i'm more of a lippy than a gloss sorta girl and wasn't sure how this balm like formula would hold up.



I  bought the shade 'candy apple' as i am a sucker for a red lip.



I must say i was more than pleasantly surprised by the colour pay off, its a lot more pigmented than i had imagined. It doesn't last as long as a lipstick but that is to be expected really for what is essentially a coloured lip balm. I also like that while lipsticks can be really drying this is really nourishing and lives up to the 'butter' part of its name.


All in all... i would say this is good product for someone who maybe isn't a huge lipstick lover. 
I do think they are slightly over priced for what they are, and while i like the silver stick design i don't like the plastic quilted packaging - i think it looks cheap and nasty.

You can pick them up now in Boots as part of the 3-4-2.

  1. I have Tutti Frutti but really want to try this colour! I do love them but I think you may be right, £7.99 is a bit much for a glorified lip balm! x
