If you're from the US then you must think this is incredibly late in coming, but Revlon have just released their new line of lip product, Revlon Lip Butters in the UK a few weeks ago and I was desperate to get my lips on them and try them! Kathy can tell you how obsessed I have been, and it shows: I have 8 of them (so far)
Left from top: Berry Smoothie, Lollipop, Raspberry Pie, Macaroon
Right from top: Sugar Frosting, Cotton Candy, Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart
There are 20 shades in the line, all named after something sweet which is a really cute touch and they are a completely unique formula. They are marketed as a lip butter in a stick, meaning they are soft and creamy and feel smooth and moisturising on the lips unlike some lipsticks that can be drying.

I have to say I am very impressed with the pigmentation! Most lip balms I have tried are moisturising but have very little colour pay-off, but these are incredible, especially Lollipop which is my favourite colour! The staying power isn't fantastic, but considering it is marketed as a lip balm product I wasn't completely surprised, but it didn't feel an effort to reapply them through the day, and they are so creamy I didn't even use a gloss on top!

The only downside in my book is also what makes them amazing - the fact that they are so soft! As a clumsy person with absolutely no grace, I have squashed the edges of these a couple of times when applying and winding them up and down, but I guess that just comes from the creamy formulation. A word of warning, be careful when winding them up and down!
Verdict: 100% recommendation from me! I can't get enough of these little beauties and they are definitely a staple in my makeup for Spring and Summer this year, especially when they are only £7.99! (Boots is having a 3 for 2 sale at the moment so get down quick to get 3 for £16!!) My favourite shades are Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart and Lollipop, let me know which ones yours are!
Love Lauren
