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!

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.

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 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

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:)

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.

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!

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.
