Lip Lust: Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti
I haven’t seen so much hype about a drugstore beauty product since the Wet ‘n’ Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trios. Since I love those as much as I do, I figured it would be wise to pay attention to the raved-about Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter ($7.49 US).
Something we’re seeing a lot of this season, Revlon offers lip colors with a youthful, vibrant vibe. The hybrid between a gloss, balm, and lipstick has been done before, but never as gracefully as Revlon has managed.
The difference is in the ability to build up color. While most lippies in the same category are often too sheer or not moisturizing enough, the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters straddle the best of all three worlds.
I love these for a pop of color that starts from medium-sheer but has the ability to become as opaque as lipstick. My lips never dry out from wearing these. Slightly shiny, yet not excessively so in order to extend wear, these are a dream come true.
The $8 price is shocking to me. The plastic packaging isn’t exactly glamorous, but it feels sturdy. The level of pigmentation and comfort the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butters boast make them my favorite across the board, not just in the drugstore.
I currently have two shades with Tutti-Frutti, an unapologetically bold red-orange coral, being my first. I can’t wait to get more colors, and with 20 shades available, you just know you’ll find the right color for every mood or occasion.
I’ve never been a huge fan of lipsticks, simply because I like the look of subtle, soft lips. Yet the Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Tutti-Frutti made me take another look at bright lips. Pretty and flattering, I can see why a statement lip might be the only makeup you need to brighten your look.
Overall, I love these so much that I’ve been contemplating collecting the whole line. Gradually, of course. I’m waiting for a big 40% off sale at Rite Aid, but until then I think I’ll pick up one more. I think Crème Brule, a warm nude, sounds nice, don’t you?
Have you bought a Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter yet? What do you think of Spring’s vibrantly fresh lip colors? Do you have a favorite bright to wear?

I’m totally going to try this! Hopefully it’ll be better than the Maybelline Baby Lips.
