I have been looking at lip butters for a while now but couldn't bring myself to purchase something before trying them on. I finally tried sweet tart yesterday and I LOVE it!! I am NW30 and usually wear more nutes or muted pinks. With this I noticed a very neutral eye and the pop of color on the lips looks great! For me, I do think I will enjoy it even more when I have more of a tan but even without it is perfect. It is sort of bright as someone else described like watermelon but not too bright to make you feel everyone is focusing on only your lips. I just love the this color and am very excited to add try peach parfait as well. The person at the Ulta counter told me these sell like crazy and must be good because nobody returns them. I will not be returning mine!

I've been wanting to buy one of these lip butters that everyone has been raving about but didn't want to splurge on any ordinary shade. This color seemed to fit the bill. The name perfectly depicts the shade: a gorgeous tarty pink that almost reminds me of barbie but not quite. I was afraid it would turn out too blue toned which would look horrid on my asian skin but it was actually quite pretty. Its safe to say that its probably the epitome of summer shades. I'm not one to wear bold lip colors but this one is definitely an exception.

I am NC 30 with auburn hair. Even though I'm technically neutral, I find that I can't really wear cool colors. I do much better with peach tones, but despite this I recently got obsessed with going on a search for the perfect baby pink lipstick. This is not it. It's fucshia and has blue/mauve undertones. Looks terrible on me. Returning it.

This is the fourth lip butter I've tried, and I have to say out of the ones I have this is my favorite. It has a better texture than some of the others I have (a lot smoother), and the color lasts on my lips very well. I also let a friend try this, and she has a much lighter, cooler skin tone than I do, and it looked really good on her. Of course I think it looks good on myself, and I am very warm-toned and light but not super pale. It's a sort of neutral, bright pink. I find that as it wears off during the day or night, it still leaves color on my lips, almost like a stain, so I never have to worry about this wearing off and making my lips look weird. I find this one to be very smooth and pretty moisturizing for what it is. I don't find any of the lip butters to be particularly moisturizing but certainly more moisturizing than most lipsticks, and this one moisturizes the best. I think this color could work on a lot of different skintones, cool, neutral, or warm. I highly recommend this to those who like brighter pinks that aren't super over the top or only appropriate for night. I find I can wear this day or not, full on, and it doesn't look weird on me with my skin tone and coloring. The packaging is also really cute, and the lip butters are pretty inexpensive.

Im very picky when it comes to pink lipsticks but i read the reviews on this one and i just had to go out and buy it and i fell completely in LOVE with this one from the moment i put it on. It goes on so smoothly and i love that its so silky smooth. I like how i can dab a bit on my lips for day to kinda give me a pink lip effect and i can put it on normally at night to give me that dramatic pink effect. I will definitely repurchase and excited to try new other colors!!!

I wasn't up on the hype surrounding these little tubes called lip butter, but it was the colors inside those tubes that got me. The most fun, partyfied, girly yet tough color by far is sweet tart. They all looked tantalizing, but the name "sweet tart" and the pink-lemonde looking color grabbed me.
Getting home and ripping open the plastic to reveal a disspointing cheap plastic case, I tried on the color on a bare lip. I was shocked. It jolted me and just made me smile. All I want in a lipstick.

I really like this color and texture, but it has no staying power. It comes off on straws and food etc. The color is beautiful and will be amazing in the summer!

When I first purchased this product, I wasn't sure about the colour. It looked so bright on the tube, so I was afraid it wasn't going work with my medium/tan skin tone.

After putting it on, I suddenly fell in LOVE with the colour. The colour showed up a flattering girly pink, not as light as I thought it would be. It has a great smooth consistency.

I own another lip butter in Berry Smoothie which I like, but not as much as this colour. Berry Smoothie has a drier consistency due to the shimmers. Sweet Tart has a much smoother consistency, almost jelly-like.

If you have a medium/tan skin tone, and have a hard time finding pink hue that flatters your skin tone, this is the colour you will love.

It smells really good and the color is a nice, bright pinky red. It really isn't very moisturizing, but it suits my purposes because I just wanted a lighter, less serious lipstick. It is very pigmented and brightens up my face with only a couple swipes. Overall it's a good product, but don't expect too much moisture. It can accentuate dry skin on lips if you don't keep them exfoliated/moisturized. I also have Berry Smoothie, which is a pretty MLBB color.

Lives up to all of the great remarks on MA. Beautiful pink with long lasting color. More like a gloss than a lipstick but
stays on a long time. Matches the Revlon Sweet Tart Nail Polish - both great colors.

I am really pleased with the pigmentation and formula of this product! I am taking one lippy off because the stick of lip butter itself is so big!! it makes it hard to put on quickly cause it will just get all over my face. I really love the packaging, but the colors look differently in the tube than on your face.. I will definitely buy more of these cause I have been waiting for them to come to my walgreens, and I love them!!

LOVE! I am not a liptstick fan, I usually prefer tinted lip balms and glosses because my lips easily peel and get dry. But with this lip butter I get best of all worlds, shine, hydration and some colour.Sweet tart is a fuchsia color that looks great on warm/yellow skin tones in my opinion. It adds such a great pop of colour without settling into the lines of your lips. I'm sure this colour would look great on any skin tone and you can easily build up thr intensity of the colour. This has a bit of sparkles but not so noticable as other colours in the collection.In comparison to a higher end lip butter, specifically the ones from Korres, Revlon has a much more moisturizing formula and the colour lasts longer than the Korres. Also the Korres has fewer colours to choose from. Revlon has so many colours that anyone of any colour can find colour that suits them. I plan to buy berry smoothie and pink truffle soon if I can find them in a store that don't always have them being sold out. Ps. in Canada the cheapest place to get these are at Walmart for around $7 and most expensive I've seen are at Shoppers for $11.99.

Sweet Tart is a vibrant, bubblegum raspberry pink that is highly pigmented and incredibly gorgeous. I can't stop putting it on because it feels so good on my lips! These lip butters are addictive because they are so fun to look at, to apply, and to wear. The packaging is a gorgeous jewel toned case with a see-through top. What's not to like? Out of the 7 lip butters that I have so far, Sweet Tart is my favorite.

Bright pink if layered on, applied with a light hand, its still really pink, but not as bright. This color has no shimmer or glitter in it, and its pretty opaique ( not sure of the spelling on that one) I would not buy this shade again, but I want to try one of the darker colors.
I took a point off for packaging, I do like it, but this tube is defective. when I twist up the lip butter, I have to push it back down because it doesn't go down when I twist the bottom.... kinda annoying, but whatever. I also with that they smelled like that name of product. They have no smell and no taste. I feel like I would like them more if they did. I also took a point off becasue they arn't as moisutizing on my lips as I was led to believe.

I really love the Revlon Lip Butters. This color is a beautiful coral/pink color. It will go nicely on all skin tones. It stays on a long time and also stays moist for longer than you would expect. I like that it can be built up or applied lightly for a subtle look. Love the packaging!

I love this shade!! It goes on smooth and gives just the right pop of pink.. not too bright, but the color is buildable if you want that bolder pink color. I just love it!

Oh my god! This is really pigmented for something that's marketed as a tinted lip balm-sheer moisturizing lipstick. Only one swipe will give a juicy-but-bright looking pink color. It's a neutral bright pink but leans a little warm, because their other pink lip butters are actually a little cool compared to this. However, there's no peachiness to it, if you're thinking it might be too warm of a pink. The closest thing I have to it is Revlon Stormy (which is a dupe to MAC Saint Germain), but even that's a teensy weensy bit more cool toned and obviously more opaque and matte finish. I really love this and I was not expecting such a great color after being disappointed by other bright pinks I've tried (not just Revlon), because other ones would often be too blue-based.


If you're shy about bright or dark colors, I really recommend the whole line actually, because the sheerness of the brightest/darkest lip butters makes them more wearable than a more normally formulated lipstick.

I think this is my favorite color of the whole collection. I don't see myself wearing it in the winter, but I see it being a go to color for me in the summer! Very moisturizing, thumbs up on the lip butters.

I tried 5 shades of Lip Butter & found that Sweet Tart falls in the middle in terms of pigmentation, more than the lighter colors but not as much as the brighter/darker colors. I found that this bright warm pink looks best when lightly applied, blotted w/a tissue & then applied lightly again; it entered garish old-lady territory when I applied too heavy a layer. I don't find myself wearing this shade much now in the winter w/my pale skin, but hope I'll like it more in the summer when I have a tan.


I only wish the formula was more moisturizing, especially considering it's a "lip butter" & supposedly contains all these hydrating ingredients. I expected it to be much more glossy & hydrating than it is. Also, be sure to exfoliate lips before applying, as the formula tends to settle into & gum up any dry skin - NOT an attractive look!


Bottom Line: I wouldn’t repurchase b/c although it's a gorgeous color in the tube, it's just not a flattering shade on my pale winter skin nor is the formula as hydrating as expected.

This has now become my everyday lip color. Its been difficult for me to find a not too pale, not too bright, pink lip color that suits my skin tone for everyday wear. This one fits the bill exactly. Its a medium-toned fuchsia lip color, which can be blotted down so the pigmentation isn't as intense. The formula of it is hydrating, but also opaque in color. I absolutely love this color and can't wait to try out the other Revlon Lip Butters.
