This new lippie already shows signs of becoming another home run for its brand. A lipstick-balm hybrid with conditioning shea and coconut butter, it promises to bump lip hydration by 156% and delivers a demi-sheer shine. Yep, demi-sheer — this collection has enough pigment to make a lipstick fan happy, yet should tempt many a gloss addict. And the texture is smooth and super-comfy, similar to a light balm.
Meet Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie, $9.50.
Raspberry Pie and Candy Apple (worn by beautygeek Liza Herz here) are two of 20 shades that range from sweet neutrals to bright pops of colour, some with shimmer (such as Lollipop, Cherry Tart and Brown Sugar), some without (such as Raspberry Pie and Candy Apple). Expect the collection to match — perhaps surpass — the popularity of Revlon’s Colorburst Lipsticks.
This smart shot of all the shade labels (click once or twice more to enlarge) is from body-soulbeauty.com; visit the site for helpful swatches, too.
I’d hoped to see a role-reversal of sorts in terms of the makeup on Revlon’s newest faces, Olivia Wilde and Emma Stone — wouldn’t it be interesting to see Olivia Wilde all fresh-faced and rosy-cheeked, and Emma Stone all sultry and smoky? Not to be, at least not at the moment (maybe Revlon will surprise us). Stone is the rosy-cheeked face of the new lip butter collection; in the display I can’t show you until they go public, she wears Peach Parfait. (Lucky girl had her makeup done by Revlon Global Artistic Director and superstar artist Gucci Westman, on whom pretty much every beauty editor has a wicked girl crush. Beautygeek Liza Herz is still in a swoon; Gucci did her makeup, too, at last month’s preview.)
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter launches officially in Canada in January 2012, but, thanks to an October soft launch stateside, it’s already available in select drugstores in the US. If you’re heading down there, or have a friend who is, make a shopping list. You’ll want more than one.
In the top photo, I’m wearing Meet Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie, $9.50. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters are available at drugstores, mass retailers and well.ca (for $8.99 each) with free shipping in Canada, no minimum order).

ooooo… added to my exponentially growing shopping list for my nyc haul! weeeeee!
Happy shopping, Vivian!
Oh, how lovely. Could be the far less expensive version of (my fave) Dior Addict Lip Glow.
Worth a trial run, I think. What shade appeals?
Maybe the Gumdrop or Cupcake? Something either barely there, or all the way there. I don’t think I like in between. And definitely no shimmer or sparkles.
It was love at first swipe for me with Raspberry Pie. Haven’t stopped using it since I got my hands on a tube.
My favourite too — so far. We’ll see…
Thank you for the update!
Do u know at which stores they will be launched first??
In Canada? Don’t know for certain, but I suspect Shoppers and Walmart will be among the first…
2012????? Baaaaaah – I want one now. I can’t wait to try these – they sound right up my alley.
Got any friends south of the border? They’re already out in some drugstores in the US!
I’ve heard such awesome things about it and can’t wait to get my hands on this!
Just got back from the Shoppers @ Yonge and Lawrence in Toronto and guess what…. they have the lip butters in all colors!!!!!! First and only place I’ve seen them in Canada. Even when I was in the US, I had a hard time finding them.
sorry… Avenue and Lawrence, not Yonge and Lawrence
I saw some today (about ten shades) in a Lawtons drug store in Halifax! There were only three testers, though, so I wanted to come home and research swatches before I spent $9.50.
I live in Canada and saw them at one drugstore today! So exciting :)
Its already in Canada I just found it the other day at Pharmasave!
What colour are you wearing in that opening picture???
Raspberry Pie — actually I should add that at the end of the post! By the time I’d read to the end, just now, I’d forgotten! #rambler
