Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake

So today I wanted to review Revlon's Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake.
This is the only lip butter I currently have but I'm hoping to pick up some other ones I've been kind of interested in. 
I'm going to keep this review short since it is a lip product and I feel it's kind of straight to the point. 
First off, I have to say I think the packaging of these are so cute!


Price: $7.49 (Varies depending where you purchase)

I believe I've mentioned before that I don't like the way this color looks on my lips alone.
I always wear concealer under it and it gives me a really nice light pink shade.
I did swatches to show the difference between the color on its own and with concealer under. The difference isn't too big on my skin but when on my lips it makes a world of difference, since I do have quite pigmented lips.

(Natural light, no flash)

As you can see, this lip butter is quite pigmented for being a tinted lip balm.
However, it is not long wearing at all, at least not for me.
This will actually start to get patchy on me maybe even twenty minutes after wearing.
If I didn't love the color so much, I'd hate it.

The rest I will simply sum up into Pros and Cons!

Pros:
▪ Smooth Texture
▪ Pigmented
▪ Cute Packaging
▪ Nice application

Cons:
▪ Not long wearing
▪ Becomes patchy


Do I recommend it? If you like the color, yes.
Would I repurchase? If I didn't find a shade similar and better, yes.
Rating: 3.5/5


On an unrelated note!
Do any of you use nail art brushes? If so, how do you clean the nail polish off of them?
I've read that nail polish can ruin them so I wanted to know if anyone has experience with that, all help is appreciated!

Thanks for reading!
