It was about time I added to my Revlon lip butter collection to prepare my little collection ready for summer (any excuse to buy more makeup, I know). I decided to go for a soft pink to accentuate my natural lip colour and match all the beautiful flowers.
First off, the product shown in the tube is very true to colour, which most lip butters appear to be. It is a vivid pink both in the tube and on the lips, which wasn't what I was really after but it seemed to work out for the best in the end. This colour would look gorgeous on all skin tones - complementing tans, while not washing out pale ones.

For longevity, it's hard to judge. It's rub off easily if you eat or drink but leave a subtle pink tint to my lips, which I quite like. You can tell they won't last hours on the lips though, but they're very easy to apply, even without a mirror because they're more like a chap stick so there's that, I guess.
The colour is very vivid, more so than I was expecting. If you have naturally pinky lips, it will be even more vivid. I was expecting the colour to be more subdued but I found a way to get the best of both worlds!

In this photo, you can see the colour is far more sheer. To do this, I applied Maybelline Baby Lips (any chap stick will work though) and then dabbed the lip butter on lightly so I was getting the beautiful pink, but it wasn't too bright. As you can see, it ends up looking similar to a lip stain but far more moisturising.

In the second photo, I have applied it right out of the tube so you can see how truly vivid it is. I've definitely warmed to this colour the more I've worn it but I'm saving the full colour for when it warms up a tad.
The packaging is nice and sturdy, I can easily chuck it in my bag and not have to worry, but with the summer heat coming up, I am worried about the lipstick melting because lip butters are more susceptible to that stuff. I wish I had a mini fridge on my vanity to keep my lipsticks in!
Money wise, it is pricey when you buy them in stores, but I got mine for $15NZD online, and they're well worth it. I do find myself using this and my other lip butters every other day and the product disappears quite quickly but it's still well worth it, especially due to the wide colour range.

PS. I've started adding photos of the makeup on my skin now due to weather improving. It was so difficult trying to get realistic photos of lipsticks in the cold winter light. Any suggestions for future posts or improvements are totally welcome! ◕‿◕
