Revlon Cotton Candy ColorBurst Lip Butter
Revlon Cotton Candy ColorBurst Lip Butter ($7.49 for 0.09 oz.) is soft, light-medium pink with subtle cool undertones and golden shimmer. The golden shimmer warms it up, which minimizes the cool tones of the blue-based pink base. Chanel Charme has a similar pink color but doesn’t have the golden shimmer. Guerlain Rose Innocent is a bit lighter, more opaque, and doesn’t have any gold shimmer. MAC Fabby has more mauve in its base color. MAC Behave Yourself has a similar base color, perhaps a little more lilac.
This color is semi-sheer with the color giving lips a slightly pink tint with a healthy dose of golden shimmer and sheen. This is the kind of coverage I would expect based on how Revlon described the Lip Butter formula. The consistency is creamy with a fair amount of slip, so it glides onto lips easily but will move around a bit–with a lighter shade like this, you may see lines if you press your lips together. It also contributes to a shorter wear time of under two hours. It is a more moisturizing formula, and it is nicely hydrating for a lipstick formula–it just doesn’t replace lip balm!

Awaiting the launch of these in India! I really like the teal liner you’ve been wearing lately, could you please share the brand/shade?
On eyes: Tom Ford Titanium Smoke Eyeshadow Palette, Burberry Trench Eyeshadow, Tarina Tarino Spark of Envy Eyeliner, Urban Decay El Dorado Liquid Eyeliner.
Thanks! Tarina Tarantino Spark of Envy looks gorgeous on your eyes!
Loving your eye makeup here!
This is a great tame “my lips but better” colour!
i have the sweet tart shade, and love it! usually i just stick to chapstick for my lips, and it’s just pink enough to wear it stands out more than usual 🙂
also, love your eye makeup!
Wow, I just love your eye makeup. You look great, as always!
Hmm, I have several other shades, and I think I get at least 3 hours wear with them? I love these, but it’s definitely true that some shades perform better than others. Glad I gave this one a miss!
Your reviews and pics are so handy – I wanted to buy Cotton Candy but peeking at it in the tube made me wonder if it might be too pale or frosty. I didn’t realize it had golden shimmer, I’ll definitely pick this up now! I love the Lip Butters.
Your whole look looks great here!
I love the Lip Butters, they are especially perfect in the winter when regular lipstick feels too drying.
Gosh you are so beautiful, Christine!! I love this look the eye make up and lip butter everything looks gorgeous together! Every time I see you use the tom ford titanium smoke palette, It makes me want it, lol! thanks for the review !:)
I’d love to know your whole look here 🙂
I use this one the most actually out of all the lip butter I have as it gives a hint of something there and the duechrom is really noticeable on my lips. But my lips a fairly pigmented naturally so this is a nice compliment to them.
I’ve actually made a dent in the bullet from so much use. lol
Love this colour. Christina, you look so fresh and lovely as usual.
Hey Christine 🙂 is there a scent to this?
They are unscented 🙂
It’s vaguely and I do mean vaguely sweat from the ingredients but no added scent. I can stand most scented lip product unless it vanilla like Mac’s either.
I own this and love it! I’m NW15 fyi, and it looks great on me, like a subtle bubble gum pink.
I like these but I don’t understand the extreme hype ^_^. Almost all products get SEVERE scrutiny but when it’s so highly raved about people overlook obvious problems. I have the shade Lollipop and I applied it in the car, walked around the mall for 30 minutes when I got back into the car it looked like a lipstain….These do NOT have staying power…I can’t justify paying 8 dollars for a colored lipbalm that doesn’t last:P They are okay but I’d rather not collect every color and just save my money for some Jack Black or Fresh Sugar:) And you look stunning in the photo:)
GGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT BLUSH ARE YOU WEARING!? ITS FLUFFIN’ AMAZING!!!!!!
Christine, what are the longest lasting lipsticks and lip glosses you have come across?
Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armanis, Guerlain Rouge G, Cle de Peau Extra Silky, Cle de Peau Lipgloss, MAC Lipglass, Giorgio Armani Gloss d’Armani
I haven’t bought a bad one yet. I have ten of the lip butters and love them all. I plan on getting them all 🙂
I was *thisclose* to buying this color today. Glad I skipped it. I did buy the Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in Very Cherry upon your recommendation. I’ve found that, while it applies smoothly, it dries up a bit on my lips. I’ll exfoliate, moisturize and try again later.
this is one of my fav lip butters! i can pair it with dark AND neutral eyes!
I love these Revlon Lip Butters… I have 3 or 4 and they feel nice on and give a good color payoff.
For Canadians, Revlon lip butters are on sale for $4.50 – $5.50 at Shoppers.
I payed $6.99 at Rexal during a sale so that is a really good deal for them at shoppers.
I love that your eye makeup uses fun colors but is still subtle, very pretty! I might try a similar look sometime. As for the Cotton Candy, it’s just too pale and sheer for my tastes. I own and love most of the Revlon Lip Butters: Fig Jam, Red Velvet, Candy Apple, Cherry Tart, Berry Smoothie, Lollipop, Pink Truffle, Tutti Frutti and Peach Parfait–the last of which I don’t wear much since it’s almost invisible on my lips…Wish Macaroon were sold in the USA, looks like the perfect color!
Wish I could have let you swatch all of mine before using them, I don’t have the courage to swatch for everyone…Love your blog Christine, keep up the fabulousness!
Aw, you are too sweet 🙂
Thank you, Kastehelmi!
Maybe we’ll get Macaroon sometime!
welp, that’s sheer, but cute! i like
this color seems very sheer, will it show up a bit better if you applied a little bit of concealer under?
Not by much, just because the creamy consistency isn’t going to interact with the underlying concealer so well!
I wonder how this would work over a lip stain. Give the lips the needed moisture while adding shimmer & a hint of color. Thanks for reviewing, I’ll have to pick it up.
it’s kinda sheer and it settles but looks pretty from afar
