A hybrid between a tinted lip balm and a lipstick, Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters have taken the makeup world by storm. I’ve been lusting after them ever since they came out, but they always seem to be out of stock at my local drugstore and I was starting to despair about ever being able to try one when the wonderful Janessa, one of my most loyal readers, sent me a tube. Thanks hun!
I was even more excited when I realised that the shade she sent me, Lollipop, is not available here. Only 10 out of the 20 shades available, in fact, are sold in Italy, which is really unfair. I really hope Lollipop will be released here too in the near future because it is really gorgeous. It is a bright fuchsia shade with cool blue undertones and purple/fuchsia shimmers that are barely noticeable. It also has a slightly glossy finish which adds a luminous touch to your look.
The formula is supposed to combine the color of lipstick with the comfortable feel of a balm and be very moisturizing, but I don’t entirely agree with that. Color payoff is amazing. Lollipop provides almost full coverage in just one swipe. It’s a very loud and bright shade so I like to keep the rest of my makeup soft and natural when I wear it. The texture is also creamy and glides on smoothly.
However, I don’t find it very moisturizing at all. It doesn’t dry my lips, but it also doesn’t feel particularly comfortable on unless I wear lip balm underneath, which really disappointed me. I’d have expected the texture to be a lot more moisturizing considering they are called “Lip Butters”. But apart from that, I really love this lipstick. It’s cheap, it’s pigmented, it doesn’t have any discernible taste and lasts about 4 hours on my lips (if I don’t eat).
That’s very impressive when you consider that most lipsticks fade after only a couple of hours on my lips. And isn’t the packaging really cute? I love the retro quilted look of the cap. The colour of the cap also matches that of the lipstick which is very handy as it means you’ll be able to find it quickly among the other lippies in your stash.

Summary
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Lollipop is a bright and highly pigmented fuchsia shade with subtle shimmer and a lovely glossy finish. It has a creamy texture that glides smoothly on the lips and stays put for about 4 hours, but it is not very moisturizing.

This is my FAVORITE lip butter. Adding a balm underneath will definitely help with the moisturizing bit. I think the color looks amazing on you!

Brittany, thank you! I love the colour, it’s so pretty that I don’t really mind having to wear lip balm underneath.
Wow, that’s bright! And the packaging is super awesome. Way better than the Revlon packaging I normally see around here.
Trisha, I agree about the packaging. It’s sleek and beautiful. And the colour is very bright indeed.

Xin, it’s very bright indeed. It’s a beautiful shade for a dress too.
I hope you’ll be able to find your lip butter soon.
I got another one yesterday from Walmart! Raspberry Pie which I have been lemming for but couldn’t find in the UK, though it was listed in the Boots website. BUT, another but, in the US it’s much much cheaper than the rip-off UK! It cost me only $6.48 USD while in the UK, it retails for £7.99!!!!! You do the maths and conversion.

Vonvon, I’m glad you managed to get the shade you wanted and at such a convenient price too! It’s outrageous how much cosmetics are priced outside the USA, isn’t it? So unfair!
Aw, you’re so welcome! I’m finished with camp :[ and I’m sad that it’s over but I will be commenting every day
Janessa, thanks hun! And I hope you had a great time at the camp!
I still have to try these. Lollipop looks really beautiful!

Marina, it’s a beautiful shade indeed.
I’ve always wanted to try these Lip Butters but since I’ve read your review I’m not keen on testing them anymore. A lip butter has to be hydrating, right? Nevertheless, the shade is lovely.

Mylanqolia, I think the name is very misleading. You expect butters to be hydrating indeed and this just isn’t. You have to think of it as a very pigmented lipstick and use a lip balm underneath to appreciate it.
