Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters

This is one product that has been insanely popular recently. Even if you didn't care about beauty products one bit, there is no way you could not know about these. And after picking up a few myself, I can see why. I picked these up at Target for $6.49 but you can find  them in literally any drugstore, supermarket, Walmart, Kmart, Ulta, etc.

These are the four that I own so far (they are easily addicting so I will probably end up adding to this collection). From left to right the colors are:

- Peach Parfait

- Cotton Candy
- Candy Apple
- Creme Brulee

The Peach Parfait is a soft rose pink with sparkle. I originally purchased this because this was the color I saw in an ad. In the ad it was very vivid and bright but in reality I find that it just ads a little something extra, nothing crazy. I actually don't mind that it wasn't as I expected as I still find it incredibly wearable. I've just noticed that you have to be careful due to the sparkle that your lips aren't dry or chapped or else it looks rough. 

Cotton Candy is pretty self explanatory - a soft pink. This color does not have sparkle in it so I have no problem applying this without thinking twice and without a mirror. It is a sheer wash of color, but there still is color there.

The most saturated of all the shades I own is the Candy Apple shade. Even with only one pass, this has more than a decent amount of color to it. And since the color is buildable, it's easy to achieve a good red lip. I would say that this red has blue undertones so keep that in mind when purchasing. This color does not have sparkle in it. 

Lastly, the Creme Brulee is my new favorite. I've really been into nude lips lately and this shade gives me that without making me look ill. This one also does not have sparkle in it. You can see in the swatch (kind of!) how light it is but on my lips it really does the job.
