This week’s scores are no surprise – they’re already
top-selling, name-brand products from Revlon that users swear by. But, my horror with one of them comes
from a problem in usage and wear that I’ve heard few comment on.
Revlon’s ColorBurst Lip Butters are sheer, wearable, flattering lipsticks that
women are buying up everywhere.
I’m a huge fan – I keep one of at least eight shades I own stashed in every
bag I own.
BUT! A few of the shades that run on the creamier side (usually
the ones without shimmer) mushy-mash all over the tube, my lips, and whatever
surface they collide with (like a lip brush). For example, my favorite 60s beach bunny shade Strawberry
Shortcake has been exposed to no harsh melt-inducing elements, yet last
Saturday, it smashed itself into a nice pile in the middle of my lips. In public. It’s still usable-ish, but I have to apply it gingerly and
away from a crowd. This completely
detracts from what’s normally so great about these products – the “firm” shades
that don’t mush are super-simple to swipe on the lips on-the-go and without a mirror.
I’m still a fan, but just a word of caution. These little bargain beauties can
create quite a mess.
They’re even better topped with a swipe of score #2 – Revlon’s ColorBurst Lip Gloss . The
clear Crystal Water shade adds a clean pop of shimmer over any lipstick making
lips appear fuller and softer.
