Lip Butters haven't been officially released in Canada yet (although a few lucky girls have found them here!). My mom went down to the States for Black Friday Shopping and I sent her with a list of 3 to pick up. Luckily, she found them all and brought them back to me. Strawberry Shortcake is a light, blue-based pink, Berry Smoothie is a my-lips-but-better rose and Red Velvet is a vampy, burgundy-red.
So what is my verdict on the formula and pigmentation? These are very creamy, moisturizing and comfortable to wear. Of course, they're not exactly as long-wearing as traditional lipsticks, but I find them much more comfortable than almost everything else I own. I don't even feel like I'm wearing much on my lips, which is nice. Second, pigmentation is fantastic. The lighter shades will impart less colour (duh), but shades like Red Velvet are SO opaque and pack a punch!
And now onto the real excitement: swatches!

Now, are these for you? I'm the type of girl who prefers to play up her eyes much more than her lips. I'm also the type of girl who thinks you shouldn't be wearing heavy-duty eye makeup and bright, intense lips all at once. Unless of course, it's a night out or something like that, but we're talking day-to-day here. If I wear a bright lippy, like MAC Viva Glam Cyndi or Lime Crime Centrifuschia, I've probably only got eyeliner and mascara on my eyes. Vice versa, if I'm wearing an eye look, I'll go for a sheer gloss or tinted balm. So, Revlon Lip Butters are pretty much a God-send for me! The lighter colours have become daily staples, since they don't compete with my eye looks but pull everything together. Depending on how you like your makeup, these may be perfect for you too!
