It's not often that Revlon lipstick's or the lip butter's go on sale as low as $3.99, which they did about a week or so back. That being said I took full advantage and have a few to share with you all today.
The first two are matte finishes
001- NUDE ATTITUDE
This colour is a very beige nude with a hint of peach undertone. It is quite like a concealer and that's just me telling it like it is. It's wearable, but if you hate that look of bare lips then I don't advise this colour. However I love nude's and you can make it work by adding a pale coloured gloss over top.
It also photographs nicely.
The next three are all crème finish
415-PINK IN THE AFTERNOON
After I got home and took a better look at all the lipsticks I realized three of them are only a mere shade different and almost look all alike. So make sure to compare colours side by side if you can in store if testers are available. I like this colour because it's a rose type shade with a subtle burnt orange undertone. I know that sounds odd considering its called "pink in the afternoon."

011- STORMY PINK
Stormy Pink is a perfectly pink matte lipstick and I love it as much as Revlon's matte lipstick "Pink Pout". The difference is this is a bit more of a deeper, richer pink with blue undertones.
I have had several compliments since purchasing and wearing this shade. Hope you will all try it too.It also photographs nicely.

677- SIREN
Siren is a great get you ready for summer colour. For a long time I wasn't purchasing a lot of cosmetics I fell out of the loop and had lost touch with what was out there and colours that have been on the market for a while now have become new gems to me. This colour looks great against tan skin and all the crème lipsticks are very emollient on the lips. I find these a bit better for someone like me who tends to have dry or chapped lips very easily. Siren does not wear as bright as what you see in the tube.
510-BERRY RICH
Berry Rich is the darkest of the three shades (blushing mauve and pink in the afternoon). They are the shades I find to be very close in colour family. It has a wine burgundy feel in the tube and in dim light, but seems much redder in the swatch under lamp light. I think now after seeing how close in colour these lipsticks are I do have a bit of buyers remorse. I probably would have passed on purchasing this one and "pink in the afternoon." As they are not really different enough to warrant the purchase.
460- BLUSHING MAUVE (pearl finish)
Again this is another very flattering colour that I have had compliments on. It's surprising how we all discover new products that have literally been there for ages, they just tend to get overlooked because the focus tends to shine mostly on new releases. This colour is very similar to "Pink in the Afternoon." Blushing Mauve is just a bit more to the berry tone side making it a tad darker. I think this is a very year round friendly colour and can work for many skin tones.
REVLON LIP BUTTER'S
055- CUPCAKE
Cupcake is a great candy, bubble gum, icing, cotton candy pink that sheers out and gives the lips a delicious pale pink mod look to the lips. If you really sheer it out it just leaves a shine behind with very little colour, if that's what you prefer.
090-SWEET TART
This colour makes me think of the deeper pink cherry blossom's and has a very bright and vibrant finish that shows up a lot better then cupcake. Don't get me wrong cupcake works great on days when you want to keep things minimal, but Sweet Tart is a little more jazzy and upbeat. I find you can really build sweet tart's colour. To me lip butters and lip stains are like water colour paint for your lips.
I hope you have all enjoyed reading this review, and maybe discovered a new colour or two that you may want to try.
