Revlon Lip Butter Fail

So as you will probably know from my past favourites posts that I love my Tutti Frutti Revlon Lip Butter, so I thought that it was only right that I went and tried a different shade as they are reduced in Boots. £5.99 instead of £7.99.. it would be rude not to!

I quite fancied a brighter pink shade but nothing too in your face, I really liked Strawberry Shortcake and it seemed perfect when I swatched it on my hand...


But it really wasn't me, it was much more of a pale/pastel pink than I was expecting, as I think the swatch and the lipstick itself looks like a brighter pink. Although I am pale this just didn't look right on me and I didn't feel comfortable in it at all. It almost seemed to disappear on my lips in half the time (after an hour or so) it takes Tutti Frutti, maybe I notice Tutti Frutti lasting longer as it's brighter...
I ending up giving this to my mam and she loves it, so it's probably just me not being used to that type of pale pink.

I would still like to try more of the Lip Butter shades, but I must admit I'm not in a rush to get another one.

What Lip Butter shades do you love?

    It looks like a gorgeous pink to me, and looks great on your skin tone from what I could see though! (: Wish I could try them out too! xx

      I'd love to try some of the other colours, I'd quite like to try a berry colour. x

    I get really confused with the similar names and colours but I think I have Peach Parfait, Strawberry Tart, Strawberry Shortcake and Candy Floss. I agree that the swatches are a bit hit and miss!

      I'd quite like to try Peach Parfait... Revlon are giving away lip butters everyday on their facebook page, but I'm not sure whether it is just the UK page. X

    I think it looks good , but understand when you're not feeling it:/ I have sweet tart, tutti fruity and Lollipop. I love them quite a bit! I have pigmented lips and most of the lighter colors don't show up!

      Rachel has the same problem, she has quite red lips so light sheer colours don't show up at all. x
