Updated | Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter

02/03/2014 Update- Since this is one of the most popular posts, and my photography skills have greatly improved I thought it only made sense to redo the photos and update this post with shades I've added to my collection since the original post went up. 

Finally avilable in Canada! Sort of... I've searched every time I've been in a store that might have event he slightest chance of having these with no luck. I've peeked on Well.ca everyday and up until a few days ago, no luck. I was super pumped when I saw these that I totally went a little crazy and scooped up eight of them. Even with eight I did miss out on one shade that I had wanted- Gum Drop, a light lavender colour. Hopefully I'll spot it in store. Update- I did!

Formulated with hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter the formula boosts lip moisture by 156%. Pampering gel formula provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth.Gives you sheer to medium color with buttery shine.' - Revlon

I usually don't haul one item in such large an amount, but I've got to say, it is fun to line these up; all colourful and shiny. The tubes are similar to the Colourburst Lipstick tubes, in the fact that they have quilting on the cap (still only two out of four sides) but instead of the only slightly useful coloured plastic on the top, the butters have a clear window, allowing you to see the actual colour of the product. As you can see, these are also slanted tubes instead of your typical lipstick bullet shape.

Some of the shades apply quite pigmented and more like a lipstick than a tinted balm. Some also have light shimmer. If you look closely on the non-quilted side of the caps you can tell which have shimmer as their caps also have a hint of shimmer, while the cream shades don't. In my formative years, I used a lot of Bonne Bell Lip Smackers, so I'd be lying if I said I didn't kind of wish these smelled like their namesake (they don't.) In fact they don't smell like anything, not even the typical plastic-y unscented scent.

The shades pretty much speak for themselves, but Raspberry Pie, Lollipop and Tutii Fruitti are super pigmented and more like super moist lipstick than the others. All the shades I swatched (even the ones I didn't think were "me") not only looked great, but they felt great: smooth and moisturizing but some of the lighter, whitened shades aren't as smooth on lips. They catch on imperfections (they even manage to find ones you didn't know where there) which don't look so great up close, luckily, it's not something that is obvious in person. Out of the bunch my favourites are Strawberry Shortcake, Peach Parfait, Sugar Plum, and Juicy Papaya.

Overall, I really like these. Have you tried them? Which shades do you like?
