Revlon ColorBusrt Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake is one of those perfect pale pink for my light neutral complexion.
I am pretty much over Revlon Lip Butters and have not been reaching for them except for the Strawberry Shortcake, which makes me think it deserves a separate post.
You can find a collective swatch post on Revlon Lip Butters here.
Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake
(Sorry, no closeup picture of the lipstick bullet. The one I took was all out of focus as I was still learning about my new camera. I admit I am too lazy to take another one, so..)
Strawberry Shortcake is a light blue-based pink with fine silvery shimmer.
It is light enough to comfortably pair with dark smoky eyes without having to worry that I would look garish, but it isn't too light of a pink that would make me look washed out, either.
It feels smooth and moisturizing on lips but it goes on a little thick.
The formula warms up soon and the finish looks more natural eventually.
This is how Revlon Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake looks on me.
This is rather a signature face of mine.
Dark shimmery eyes, blushed cheeks and light pink lips.
I adore the color of Strawberry Shortcake, but its formulation is not exactly a winner for me although it is better than other Lip Butters I've tried so far.
I just prefer something that feels lighter and adheres better on my lips with shinier finish. To me, Revlon Lip Butter is more of a traditional semi-sheer lipstick, and the occasional inconsistency in pigmentations does bother me a little.
Luckily, Revlon Lip Butter Strawberry Shortcake is not a terribly unique shade.
NARS Sheer Lipstick Roman Holiday and MAC All Styled Up are close (they don't have shimmer, though) with preferred formulations for me.
