Revlon Lip Butters are FINALLY in Barbados!

So I thought I'd start off this posting process by talking about one of the most hyped-up lip products on the market - the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters.
These were released at the beginning of this year and Revlon describes them as
 "- Buttery balm with beautiful shiny color to give you baby soft, healthy glowing lips 94% of women felt lips were softer, smoother, and instantly hydrated." (Taken from Revlon.com)
This product has only now within the last month or two reached its way to Barbados - buzzkill, I know. However, as long as they are within reach, I am happy!  They retail for $20.99 Local Price (Bajan dollar is $2 to $1 US) which personally, I think is totally worth it. They can be found at Cave Shepherd Broad Street -- while stocks last!!!
Now, onto the Review and Swatches :

Revlon Lip Butter L-R - Sweet Tart, Strawberry Shortcake
Overview of Packaging
As you can see, I have two in my possession, Sweet Tart and Strawberry Shortcake. Sweet Tart is a bright, opaque, pink with no shimmer and Strawberry Shortcake is a light, creamy pink again with no shimmer. They apply very smoothly to the lips and feel extremely moisturising. Since these are a cross between a lipstick and lip balm, their lasting power isn't that great. Packaging wise, they are overall impressive. However, when you twist the applicator to get more product and twist it back down, some of it gets caught on the silver sides.
   
Swatch - Top- Sweet Tart, Bottom - Strawberry Shortcake
 Packaging - 4/5      Product - 5/5  
 Overall, I'd say these are definitely worth the hype and if you see them, dont hesitate to buy a few, because chances are, they'll be gone in a split-second!
