Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter, Strawberry Shortcake

I purchased this in the shade Figjam. Don't let the color fool you. It may appear a very deep brown, but the color comes out nicely on the lips. It looks somewhat as a mahogany/dark red. My sister has a deeper skin tone than me; thus her lips are brownish, but it looks good on her too. A cute color for the fall season!

I have been using similar products for years- i.e. chapstick-like products that moisturize while depositing enough color to substitute for lipstick. Until I tried this, my favorite was Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. This is much more moisturizing than the lip shimmers, but doesn't give quite as much color, although they are fairly close. The lip butters also have a lot more color selection. To give you a better idea of how much color they put on your lips, I would say they are a little more sheer than lipstick (the lighter colors seem more sheer than the darker ones) but are not as sheer as most tinted lip balms. So if you only want a barely noticeable amount of color, these are not what you're looking for. Burt's Bees are natural and do not have artificial colors, so they are good for people who prefer to use less of those things and they are a bit cheaper. They are also smaller, which makes them somewhat better in a pocket or small purse, but perhaps not as good in terms of quantity for the money. Overall, I prefer the Revlon Lip Butters and have already bought a second one, mainly because they are incredibly moisturizing, have a better color selection, and look a lot like lipstick. Although I will not totally abandon Burt's bees, these definitely give them a run for their money.
