Candy Apple

in Makeup, Product Review

A week ago Revlon’s Colourburst Lip Butter went on sale at the local drugstore for $3.99 down from the regular retail price of about $10.99. I’d read many glowing reviews about the line, so I just had to take advantage of this sale — it was too good to pass up! Anyway, about half an hour later, I walked out with a WHOPPING one shade: Candy Apple. So typically me. :(

I’ve tried many lip butters in my life, so I wasn’t expecting that much from Colourburst Lip Butter, but, oh MAN (!), it applies and feels like a luxe lip product. It is not too shiny (one point), non-sticky (plus another point), and has great colour payoff for a lip butter (and another one!).

The packaging is very good as well. The top part of the cap is completely clear, so you know what shade it is and it’s pretty sturdy. The cap closes with a click and doesn’t open so easily which is great because nothing’s worse than opening your bag to find your favourite lipstick all covered in lint.

Revlon’s Colourburst Lip Butter is formulated with mango, shea and coconut butter formula. It has pretty decent staying power and kept my lips pretty moisturized. Candy Apple is a warm red with orange undertones.
Overall, I’d say that this is a stellar product worthy of your attention even at regular price.

YAYYYYY, I love this colour!!! And it’s so nice to wear under Lady Danger to keep your lips moist. :)

You should’ve picked up more colours, for realsies.

Ooooh! I never even thought to layer it under Lady Danger. Wonder if this would work underneath Chili as well…

You’re so rightsies — I should have picked more colours.

-cue sad music- We don’t have Revlon here anymore, it was phased out I think. Excuse me while I go and bawl my eyes out.

…..long break. Ok now I’m ok. The colour looks great on you :)

I know :( I went looking for Revlon lip butters and realized the counters are gone. It was sad.

Yeah, it does look like that in the photo, right? It’s a bit more red in person, though.

I have this colour too! It’s gorgeous. Though it was the only one you could buy, I still think it’s a great shade to have — even if you did have an array of colours to choose from!

It’s going on sale again this week, so… Wahoooo! More colours for meee :-D . lol

I love that it looks so close to actual lipstick on the lips as far as pigmentation goes…

Is this your only shade as well? But I’m sure you bought more than one shade..
