Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Swatches

Cheers to the reader (sorry for forgetting who it was) that told me the new Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters were on sale at Walgreens for Buy One, Get One 50% Off. That super deal pushed me into the realms of hauling nearly every shade.

Here’s a few swatches to whet your appetite.

Jump!

Review upcoming shortly but so far going to say they are worth throwing your coin at.

Helpful Tip: The sale ends Sunday but if your displays are stripped bare or you simply can’t find them at your local Walgreens simply head to the cashier, ask for a rain check, and you can get them when the store restocks or stocks the product. Rain checks are normally good for a year or more that means you can get them for the same sale price anytime!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I want them so bad! I’m living in Tokyo currently and though the makeup here is outstanding, I find myself missing some of my drugstore staples. 🙁

    Do they feel as gorgeous as they look? Gah! /dies…

    • the Muse

      feels amazing to me susan 🙂 I likey alot! girl what are you ranting about, Japan has so much to offer 🙂

  • darkeyedfran (claire ramirez)

    OOOOOHHHHHH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad I popped on here for a second time today! (you’re my daily fix musey!) these look so amazing and I think I need them all right now!!!! thank you!

    • the Muse

      aw thanks claire 🙂 flattered I’m on your list! my pleasure they are fabs 🙂

  • LollySue

    It’s raining and I am in my jammies, but I seriously want to go to Walgreen’s RIGHT now and buy these!

  • S

    Pretty swatches, Muse! Glad you found them!! Can you tell me which shade is the 3rd one from the left?

  • Sara

    Oooh! I’m so glad you got a bunch! And thanks for the swatches! I haven’t seen these yet at either my Walgreens or CVSs, but maybe I’ll get lucky tomorrow.

    Looking forward to the review. 😀

  • Cj

    Are those swatches layered or one coat? I was hoping these were gonna be sheer :\ packaging reminds me of my (HG) Dior addict lip glow

    • the Muse

      one coat ;-D they are pretty pigmented for the buck cj! Not like lip glow, def not, more color!

  • plue

    i think the original colourburst colours are great, and now lipbutters? cool beans! sounds great for my chapped lips, the original ones don’t work so well if i got a bad lip day >.<

  • Karrie

    The swatches look great.
    I’ll be heading over to my Walgreen’s today.
    Hopefully there will be some left.

  • Marina

    Ooh! Those look nice and shiny. Love how they seem to have a wetter texture.
    By the way, Muse-you told me to let ya know what I thought of the Hello Kitty brushes once I got them. Yes, they are a little on the cheaper side, but I think for $25 ($20 during F&F) it’s worth it. The HK holder is ADORABLE and the brushes are cute. I actually feel the size is perfect for me, but I just have extremely small hands. Last night I was experimenting with some of my new Fyrinnae shades to figure out what I want to wear to Rocky Horror Picture Shown tomorrow night and I used the shader brush. It fits my lid PERFECTLY and evenly distributed the product over Pixie Epoxy, something I sometimes struggle with with Fyrinnae’s loose shadows. I definitely love that little brush. The all-over shadow brush is nice too.
    I haven’t tried the others, but I can see the face brush being nice for powders or blushes.
    I’d recommend them for the cute-factor and decent brushes, but never at the original price of $50.

    • the Muse

      Hey Marina I’m happy to hear this! I agree fifty would have been a splurge but hey at $25 well worth it for the cute factor and hey they even worked nicely for application! brilliance ;-D!!!!!!! I might pick up the nior set when it goes on sale after the holidays ;D if they still have it that is ;D!

  • Stacey

    Walgreens is the only place I have seen them as of yet where I live…been there 3 times in the past two days stocking up, I have ten out of the possibly 19? that might be out there..wish Revlon would list the shades..

  • Reena

    In looooove with the colors you chose! 🙂 definitely wanna get some lip butters! thanks!

  • Tina

    Those look so nice! I went to my Walgreen’s yesterday and nada. 🙁
    I’d get a raincheck but wouldn’t even know what colors/shades to get, but good to know about the rainchecks. Thanks for that.

    • the Muse

      hey tina maybe my review will help you with the color choice 🙂 your welcome! the raincheck sure is helpful to get them on sale when your wally’s stocks!

  • Suzie

    There are 20 (!) shades based on reading all the boards and seeing in the stores. I think I have all the names if you want.

      • Suzie

        berry smoothie, brown sugar, candy apple, cherry tart, cotton candy, creamsicle, crème brulee, cupcake,
        fig jam, gumdrop, lollipop, peach parfait, pink truffle, raspberry pie, red velvet, strawberry shortcake,
        sugar frosting, sugar plum, sweet tart, tutti frutti

  • Majick

    nice – I like the color in the top row all the way on the right. Looks like a MLBB color. ALso, it looks like it may even be a dup for Black Honey? or possibly the bottom row all the way on the right?

    These look like a nice mix of pigment and shine.

  • mayrei

    I’m going to stop by Walgreens tomorrow and see if they have these. I was in there about two weeks ago and they didn’t… are these really new?

  • Prairie Peg

    I just grabbed up six of these in an assortment of colors – awesome! I now have some for home, work and car! If I had more $$ I may have picked up all of the colors – they are all wonderful and gorgeous!

  • Angela

    Looks like I’ll be stopping by Walgreens today! lol. I can’t wait for your review on these. =)

  • yelena

    you ARE a tease! I like the last on the first row and the 2nd & 3rd on the second row. 😛

  • CK

    ughh, i’m so jealous. none of the drugstores in my area ever have anything good :<

  • kate

    aw man! i was at walgreens like 4 times this week. i remember seeing these and i couldn’t access your website for a review so i kept walking! they were all stocked, too!!!! gah!!!!!!!!!!! ok im going back, again, tomorrow. i hope you get all the colors you want! if you can’t get a color, you have to let me know muse! i swear no one goes to walgreens around here bc ive never seen so much makeup fully stocked before in my life!

    • the Muse

      LOL kate LUCKY girl! My walgreens is stripped thanks for the offer chica! I think they are still on sale? it’s bogo at CVS or was it walgreens…one of those lol I’m having a senior moment. buy some, worth it either way ;-D nice stuff!

  • JenJ

    Saw a youtube video about these last night. Now this post AND a sale. It was meant to be:) Walgreens here I coooome!

      • JenJ

        Didn’t make it to Walgreens. Wen to CVS today and they have a buy one get on 50% deal going on. Picked up 4 colors! Got some extra bucks today so I may go back and get a couple more colors. Are these limited edition?

        • the Muse

          nope will be part of the full line jen come 2012 ;-D yay! 20 shades supposedly or 19…! yay for a great haul

  • TokyoChel

    I must have gone to every store in a 15 mile radius looking for these before finally finding them at Bed, Bath, & Beyond! They had prob 8 of the shades left and they were $5.79 each.
    After staring at them for like 20 min, I ended up with Sugar Frosting and Gumdrop. Sugar Frosting is barely noticable, just a little frost look to your lips, but I like Gumdrop. It’s very unique.
    Somehow after how hyped these are, I felt slightly let down. I do like them, I just don’t feel like they stay moist for very long at all. I imagine the darker shades would be even drier.

    • the Muse

      aw sorry chel! I actually liked them alot…pretty good formula for ds! I’m so sorry you hated 🙁

  • Natasha

    Hey Muse!
    Do you know when or if these are going to be available in the U.K??

    I dont think it will be here any time soon, it took 2 years for the revlon bitten lipstain you guys have in the U.S to get here to us in the U.K im soo jealous you guys get the best drugstore stuff first! xx

    • the Muse

      not sure natasha surprised you didn’t get them first 🙂 you guys normally get everything first ;-D I’m shocked to hear about the lipstain! I wish I had a release date for ya hun!

  • Stacey

    I have tried many a lip balm, gloss, etc…and almost always seem to end up with annoying excess? in the corners of my lips after a while…looks so bad….these do NOT do that..they actually seemed to improve the condition of my lips after wearing it..similar to the Cover Girl Lip Perfection..I LOVE THESE!

  • noelle

    these are my new favorites! I LOVE these! I have 3 already. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
