#1 Revlon Lip Butter in Sorbet

So yesterday I bought three more lippies - two lipsticks, and what I call a tinted balm, also known as a lip butter. This is the third one that I've ever bought (Peach Parfait being the one  I gave to my sister because she loved it and I didn't. Ugh glitter.) This lip butter is called Sorbet.

I'm not going to say that all the lip butters have the same texture and longevity, because they don't. More intense colors last longer and glittery ones feel grittier. Such is the way of the world.

Anyways. This is an awesome lippie. It's the color of raspberry sorbet (hence the name) and the formula is amazing. As is the packaging. Let's start there.

The packaging is adorable. I'm sure all of you have seen the quilted design, and it's so classy and simple and unique. I love the clear top and colored case as well. It's easy to pull the top off and put it back on.

The formula is really interesting. It's very silky, and goes on your lips in a thin layer but has awesome color payoff. Another key thing: I hate glitter. I hate how weird it looks on your lips, like it was just spread on top of your lipstick, and I hate the gritty feeling. So when I went into the beauty section of Walgreens, I was determined not to get a glittery one. It didn't look like it had any, and when I applied it I found that it doesn't have glitter: it has sparkle! It isn't gritty and all and since sparkle is so small it isn't funny looking, it just adds a sort of iridescent sheen in some lights so it's gorgeous.

Like I said, it's the color of raspberry sorbet. When I first put it on, it was sorta shiny (like a balm) but then it sorta lost the shine (I was in the sun) and took on a color that looked exactly like I had been eating - can you guess - raspberry sorbet.

One coat

After about three hours, the color was still on the outside of my lips, but had faded from inner part of my lips, which makes sense, as I am talking to people all day, so the color goes faster.

 But I think I can say that the color lasts for about 3-4 hours, but vanishes when you're eating. Fortunately, touch ups are not at all a problem, as 1) you do not at all need a mirror to apply this, and 2) it definitely moisturizes, so you want to keep putting it on. It isn't major moisture, but just enough, unless you're crazy dehydrated. As far as I can tell, it leaves no stain at all.

Overall score:

Packaging: 10/10

Formula: 7/10

Longevity: 6/10

Happy collecting!
