If you've been around in the blogging, beauty or YouTube world for a while now, you may remember these, the Revlon Lip Butters. The beauty community went crazy over these, and I mean crazy! There were hundreds upon hundreds of blog posts as well as YouTube videos. Of course, they were new and received a ton of hype, and I gave into the hype and bought two. But the real question - are they worth the hype they received?
I'll admit it - another reason I bought this besides the hype was for the packaging. The packaging matches the shade itself so it's handy when choosing which lip colour to wear. I think it looks so girly and cute, but also, it's sleek, and the cap doesn't come off in your bag (Worst thing ever! Especially if it ends up on your bag..)
I bought cotton candy when it was first released in Superdrug at it's introductory price of £5.99. Clearly, judging by the mess it's in, I wore it a lot! It's a light pink, and as the name suggests, it's a cotton candy pink colour. Looking back now, I can't understand why on Earth I chose that colour because I don't even wear light pinks as I don't think I suit them. Then, there was a 2 for £10 on Revlon lip products deal on in Boots, I couldn't resist the temptation and picked up lollipop. It's definitely one of my go-to Winter lip colours. It's a gorgeous, deep berry-pink colour, with a shine to it when applied on the lips.
The lip butters themselves are pretty pigmented. They glide on your lips so smoothly and live up to their names when referred to a butter. Basically, they're a lipstick and lip butter in one, so ideal for Winter months if you suffer from dry lips yet still want some colour.
So, are they worth the hype?
I would say they are! If you buy a shade you like, suit and will wear, they're worth investing in. At £7.99 each, they aren't within everyone's budget, but if you grab them on a 2 for £10 or 3 for 2 deal, you'll be doing alright! The range is huge, and there's a number of different shades to choose from, I'm sure there's one for everyone! You can grab them here.
Do you own one of the lip butters? Do you believe they lived up to the hype?
I'd say they're worth the hype! I have them in two different shades and love them! They're one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThey're amazing, could easily buy more shades! x
DeleteI'd say the only downside is that they can be a bit messy (candy apple melted and got smushed in my bag!) and that you don't get much product in the tube x
ReplyDeleteWww.charlottebehappy.com
Aw no really?! I think it's a decent amount but if you use it a lot, you might find that there's not much x
DeleteTo be fair mines lasted ages! But now it's near the end I hardly use it because I can't bear it running out 😩 x
DeleteSame, I've had mine for a while! Haha you better stock up! x
DeleteThey look gorgeous. I'm such a wimp when it comes to buying new lipsticks. I like what I like haha. But will definitely push myself to try these!😄😄

Basically, if you like lipbalms and lipsticks, get these because they're like a mixture of the two! x
DeleteI have 6 shades of these, so I'd definitely say they're worth the hype!!
ReplyDeleteKate xo // www.beautybabbles.com
Wow aha thats a lot! So many shades to choose from, I could easily own more! x
DeleteI love the Revlon Lip Butters but I haven't tried these shades! I have Pink Truffle, Sugar Plum and Red Velvet and love them but the pigmentation definitely varies xx
ReplyDeleteJasmine Talks Beauty
I can imagine sugar plum being gorgeous! x
DeleteI never bought into the hype with these purely because they are described as 'butters' and that makes me think they aren't very pigmented. It's interesting to read that they are, maybe I'll give them a go at some point. The darker shade looks lovely, especially for A/W.
ReplyDeleteBarbie Sparkles | Beauty, +SizeFashion and Lifestyle Blog
I totally understand why you'd think that! Watermelon is a gorgeous colour and is actually very pigmented x
Deletei have one of these that i love but i have abandoned it recently!
ReplyDeleteI do that a lot! x
DeleteI have read so much about these but am still yet to try them!

Oh, you should go get one! x
DeleteI have a few of these and love them. I even finished a Sugar Plum one and replaced it. The other one I have is Raspberry Pie which is really nice too.
ReplyDeleteMust've liked it if you replaced it! x
DeleteI have always wanted to try these so I'm happy to know that they live up to the hype! www.littlemissfangirly.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to get some! x
DeleteThey look so cute! I might have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteWoo, go for it! x
DeleteI have the sugar plum shade which I'll be wearing a lot during autumn! I really like the packaging of them too, they really stand out against my milllliiooons of lip products haha xxx
ReplyDeleteKaran|| studentbeautyhack
I feel as though I need this sugar plum shade as a few people have commented mentioning this! Yes, I love the packaging for that exact reason! x
DeleteLove the colors. I just don't do well with lipstick. I end up with it everywhere. Ha! I'm such a mess when I wear it.
ReplyDeleteIf you find you're messy with lipstick, this might be better as it's not as hard to apply as lipstick because it's a butter based formula! x
DeleteI used to love these! I need to try them out again, having so many lip products it's hard not to forget about some, but these I need to try again, love both of the shades you picked up xx
ReplyDeleteJessica Victoria
I do the same and often forget about makeup and enjoy mixing these up! I found them again and loved them x
DeleteI do love these products and hope to come across a two for 10 deal like you did. I have the hardest time choosing shades though!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always so hard narrowing it down to just 2 or 3 of them because I could easily buy them all! x
DeleteI will have to look for them!
ReplyDeleteCan get them in boots and superdrug! x
DeleteI do remember the hype of these but I never delved in and bought any of these lipsticks, I may have to take you up on your recommendation and have a look into buying one because they sound really lovely for the price and are something you can wear on a more natural make up day! Lovely post, love your blog! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe hype was crazy! I just gave in and had to see it for myself! Yes, you can get a lot of different shades, from reds to pinks, even nude shades! Aw thanks Lauren! x
DeleteI haven't tried Revlon Lip Butters before, but you're right - the packaging is really cute! Next time I'm looking for a lipstick I'll see if these are on offer!
ReplyDelete- Emily from http://www.emilyunderworld.co.uk ♡
If the packaging hasn't got you sold, then I don't know what will! x
DeleteI really do like these and the packaging is cute!

Yes, love them! x
DeleteI think they are worth the hype, they're a way to add effortless colour to your lips without much upkeep! The only thing is that I wish I would have got a different colour, definitely need to have another look at the collection and pick a darker tone. Like you, I don't think light pinks suit me either as I have quite a pale face! xx
ReplyDeleteKathryn | Chapters of Kat
Yes I agree with you! You should get another colour, if you get one you like, you'll wear it forever! I don't suit light pinks because I'm pale too haha! x
DeleteI was like hoping to see a picture of you wearing this lipstick!))
ReplyDeletewww.siniciliya.com
Aw I never even thought! x
Deletei actually haven't gotten these but i use the crayons and LOVE those so i'll have to give these a try too!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love these then! x
DeleteI saw the massive hype about these but never actually ended up purchasing any. I am loving Lollipop, and after reading this definitely want to pick it up! x
ReplyDeleteAbi | abistreetx
As you can see from the photos, it's a stunning colour! x
DeleteI have wanted to try them but haven't yet. Thank you for sharing your tips!
ReplyDeleteI hope this persuades you to get them! x
DeleteI always look at the orange shade then change my mind every time, I can't decide if they have enough colour for me! x
ReplyDeletewww.throughneweyesx.com
I think some shades are more pigmented than others! x
DeleteLove your lipstick review and I will definitely consider buying these!
ReplyDeleteUrsula aka Blueridge Beauty
Thank you! Ah hope you like them! x
DeleteThey absolutely ARE worth the hype! I still use mine all the time. Red Velvet makes an appearance every fall and winter for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThe hype has quieted down but I still use them! Sounds like a gorgeous colour, and very season appropriate! x
DeleteI would say they are worth the hype too but only if bought on one of the special offers Boots have on regularly. I love the shades you picked up x
ReplyDeleteBeauty with charm
I don't think I'd pick only one up, definitely needs to be a deal! Then you can choose more than one haha! x
DeleteI love these! They are so hydrating and give the perfect amount of color
ReplyDeleteIt's great that the colour pays off well on your lips as well as being hydrating! x
DeleteI wore these non-stop when they were first released but haven't used them in ages now. Definitely need to dig them out! x
ReplyDeleteJordan Alice
I do that quite a lot with products! x
DeleteI've been wanting to try these for a long time now!
ReplyDeleteBe | lovefrombe
Perfect time to try them out! x
DeleteBeautiful colors and I bet that they would work on many different skin tones as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think especially lollipop would suit many different skin tones! x
DeleteI'm a big fan of the Lip Butters! I think they are nice and light, and don't have too much color too them (but you can build on it). Love the colors you picked!
ReplyDeleteThey never look over the top with ANY makeup look! x
DeleteGreat post! These lip butters sound amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteUrban Obsessions // Vegan Food, Beauty & Lifestyle
Thank you! x
DeleteLipsticks are my weakness! As much as I love this post, my wallet definitely doesn't! Great post, beautiful colours!
ReplyDeleteI was really bad at one point for buying them! Aha aw, come on wallet! x
DeleteLove the lip butters...Revlon is pretty great in general!
ReplyDeleteRevlon produce some of the best lip products! x
DeleteLove them&need to buy more shades... xx
ReplyDeleteTajaljeh / http://lifeastajaljeh.blogspot.si/
I want to try more shades out too! x
DeleteI love them !! Shades are gorgeous !! I may need to pick up one or two on my next trip to drugstore. And I've been doing so well on my spending ban ... damn lol
ReplyDeleteAw aha! Write them down on a to buy list for after your spending ban! x
DeleteIt feels like a real victory when you find out a hype product is actually worth it. Many times they are not. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteIt honestly does! x
DeleteI have never even heard of lip butters, I will have to look for these at the store!
ReplyDeleteYou should do some research on them! x
DeleteThanks for the review! I've been wanting to try these. I love lipsticks and this would probably be a great option for casual, daytime looks.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,

They are brilliant for day to day wear x
DeleteI've heard so much about them and have been wanting to try one - now I definitely will! These colors are gorgeous!

I especially love lollipop! x
DeleteI have not personally tried these because for some reason I think I look horrible with lipstick on, but I will definitely have to try these out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou probably do suit lipsticks! These are much more subtle x
DeleteI haven't tried lip butters yet, but they sound great. My lips are always dry, and I love trying new lipsticks. Your review sold me on them :)
ReplyDeleteThey are brilliant because they don't feel drying at all! x
DeleteI love Revlon! I don't have this particular item, but it doesn't surprise me that they're great!
ReplyDeleteIf you've tried Revlon lip products before then you know for sure that these are great! x
DeleteI have a ton of these and love them but haven't been wearing them much since I'm addicted to liquid lipsticks these days. Come Winter when I need the moisture I'll have to bust these out again!
ReplyDeleteI think these are perfect for Winter! x
DeleteI didn't like these. I like long-wearing lippies and these just went within 10 mins. :(
ReplyDeleteDaniella | Freshly Pressed Beauty
That's so disappointing! x
DeleteThose colours are absolutely beautiful, I'm still not sure if they're worth the hype though, I know a lot of people have had problems with them!

I do believe it depends on the colour you pick up though! x
DeleteI do like these, but they melt SO easily in hot weather!
ReplyDeleteLillies and Lipbalm
xx
I had a feeling they probably would since they're so buttery! x
DeleteI love that packaging! I hate it when lipsticks are drying so I love how they're basically lip balms too. The darker shade is gorgeous too :)
ReplyDeleteKimberley xx // thecolourchronicles.wordpress.com
The packaging is gorgeous! Nothing worse than a drying lipstick, feels so uncomfortable on your lips! x
DeleteI love them , I have maybe 7 of them and Im obsessed .... I want more and more hahah:)
ReplyDeleteWow, 7?! Aha you do love them! x
DeleteI hear a lot about them but I've never tried them! I'm trying to save a bit of money now, because I'm lipstick addict and I have so many hehe, but I have some boots points that I can maybe use in a new one, just to reward myself ;), so I'll be considering these ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post!
