I am a big fan of the Revlon Colorburst lip butters and already having purchased four I was excited to try Berry Smoothie. I was a little aprehensive because of the colour - as I am a woman of colour and this is pink! - but it is so beautiful. It's a really pretty pink with sparkles that's semi-sheer.

It's really quite moisturizing. This colour does have slight sparkles so if your lips are dry and cracked you better exfoliate!

I would repurchase this colour as I really do like the colour. And I don't really mind the price as Revlon constantly goes on sale in Canada.

I love this stuff. The color is beautiful and seems to last on me for about 3 4 hrs. I have a hard time keeping my lips moisturized and this really works. This is my new go-to lipstick

Very pretty packaging. I got mine on sale for about $6 and I love the colour on my lips. It is my natural lip colour but better and a bit glossier.

I have medium/deep berry pink pigmented lips, and this shade just makes them look slightly redder. I'm beginning to lose enthusiasm for the Colorburst Lip Butters - they hardly add any pigment to my lips, yet are incredibly drying. I have to wear them over lightly blotted balm, which means they don't stick around any longer than plain old balm/gloss. Anyway, this shade also has some tiny colorless sparkles, but nothing I notice except on the tissue/napkin after wiping my mouth. Has a very slight vanilla scent. The very pretty tube is a giant pain in the ass to open, almost impossible if you've used lotion recently, thereby adding a significant annoyance to my morning. Colorburst Lip Butters are fine if you want a formality to make you feel like you're putting on and wearing lipstick, especially with the posh-looking packaging, but you can find better tinted balms (NYX Lip Spa) and l/s (NYX Black Label) at the same price point or lower.

I generally like lip butters....and I used to really love this shade. It was my go-to summer color last year. I don't know what happened, but lately I don't love it anymore. All of a sudden its shimmer and the shade of pink look retro and tacky on me (I've seen swatches on others which don't look anything like this). The color is cooler than I originally thought and I won't be buying this one again.

This color isn't quite what I was hoping for -- it's a lot cooler toned than I expected and it has like a silvery glitter in it, which really cheapens the color in my opinion. Also the glitter makes the lip butter appear chunky if you swipe more than once across your lips. I also noticed that after wearing for about an hour, my lips were gross and pasty and/or stringy in some areas.

I was a little apprehensive buying this color because I thought it would be a deep purple that I wouldn't be able to wear every day but it's actually a lot more wearable than I expected! On me, Berry Smoothie is just a shade or two deeper than my natural lip color and is a flattering pinky plum. I love how moisturizing the formula is and how it doesn't settle in my lip lines at all. I would say that this and Sweet Tart are my favorite of the lip butters I have tried so far.

LOVE this color. It is a very pretty mauve/pink color. It isn't too bright, so its a perfect everyday color. I have blue eyes and light blonde hair and this really brightens up my face and brings out my eyes. It also very hydrating to the lips and makes them look fuller. I only wish this lasted longer on the lips, since it tends to wear off VERY QUICKLY. Otherwise, I adore the color : )

This is definitely my favourite of the lip butters. I love berry colours and this one doesn't disappoint. Along with the other shades, this is very creamy and moisturising and ridiculously easy to apply. It's quite sheer at first but is very buildable - I normally just sweep one layer on as I like sheer lip colours. I've purchased another shade called Sugar Frosting in the past and I have no idea why, but it MELTED. Yep, melted. I live in the UK for god's sake and it actually fell apart in the packaging. I haven't seen anyone else have this problem so it might have just been me, but be careful anyway :)

This product is nice but it isn't the best lip butter out there. I had heard about this product from a beauty guru I watch on YouTube. After watching her video I went out and bought this lip butter in Berry Smoothie. I loved the color but thought it would have been a little lighter, not a darker berry color. When I put it on it wasn't that smooth or soft. When I rubbed my lips together I felt little specks of glitter. I absolutely HATE that. If they're naming it a lip butter it should be soft, but it wasn't. I loved the packaging, it was chic and extremely cute. The color didn't last very long, I kept having to reapply every so often because it would dry up. The only reason I'd ever purchase this again would be to try other colors.

I love, love, love Berry Smoothie!! It's such a pretty pink color and probably would work with most skintones. Even though this is a lip balm, it provides enough pigment as a lipstick. The color is a bit sheer, but still work-appropriate (it's pretty easy to just use less product to tone down the shininess).


I loved my Clinique Chubby Stick in Mega Melon, but thought it had little product for the value. So I am so happy to find a dupe that is almost 1/3 of the price when on sale (yet, I do disclaim that if MM comes out coral pink on you, Berry S prob won't look the same). Although people complain that lipbutters do not have enough product and only last a couple of months, chubby stick also doesn't have much product for the cost either, but is way more expensive.


Lipbutters are great, because the product last for a few hours and doesn't have any sticky feel to it (stickiness is why I avoid most lipglosses). It may dry your lips slightly when it wears off, but I think this is best avoided if you just don't apply it every hour or two (you shouldn't need to anyway). Plus, the dryness feeling will happen with frequent overapplication of any lipbalm/lipgloss, anyway.

I love this colour. Its a sparkley medium pink. I just wish it was more hydrating but I love the thick texture and its easy to apply.

This colour really suits my skin tone. It is relatively sheer but quite pigmented. It is glossy as well. It is a pinky brown neutral colour. Similar to benefits rocket pop. Great for the price and will definitely be trying out the other colours! Has good lasting power for a balm lipstick.

This is my favorite color so far. The color is a nice pink with a tiny amount of shimmer, perfect for those days when I don't want to wear a lot of make up, but still want to look pulled together.

The balm is very smooth and moisturizing going on and I use it every day. I don't wear lipstick much any more because I got tired of the heavy feeling most lipsticks have and I did not want tons of color on my lips. It was my understanding that these butters were meant to be sheer, so the comments about the lack of strong pigmentation is puzzling to me.

Overall, I love these new balms and this color is at the top of my list! I am going through my first tube quickly and I bought a back up too.

This is my absolute favorite lip butter! I love the consistency, so buttery and smoothe, glides on perfectly, and is very moisturizing! The color is amazing, a very berry natural color for any skintone! I LOVE this product and will definitely buy it again when I run out!

Bought this product because of all the rave reviews for Revlon lip butters. Got this particular shade mostly because there were very few colors left at the store and this was the least offensive one, heh.

I was excited to try a moisturizing lip stick, but I have to say, it's pretty mediocre both as a lip balm and a lip stick. Not sufficiently hydrating and texture not as nice as pure lip stick (although not sure if it this is due to the GLITTER). I definitely prefer the matte lip balm + lipstick combination instead.

One thing I definitely disliked (ymmv) was the glitter---or whatever sparkly crap. Sooo much of it! >_< I know some of their other colors do not have glitter, and I would have much preferred that.

In terms of color, this is very subjective, so it's hard for me to tell someone else to buy or avoid. For me, personally, I thought this color was pretty close to my natural lip color, a little cooler, a little more mauve(?), perhaps; on my lips it looked like a more...mature...shade, I suppose. I wasn't a huge fan, since I tend to prefer colors that are warmer, brighter, more exciting.

I don't really like this lip balm and am really disappointed. After reading the reviews online, and seeing all these swatches that looked so pretty I honestly thought I would love this lipstick! Unfortunately, I cannot jump on the revlon lip butter bandwagon :( I know the product is called "berry smoothie," but everyone talks about it being this lovely pinkish shade with a hint of berry that is very subtle. However, on my extremely pale skin it leaned extremely berry with the slightest hint of pink. Due to my pale skin, darker berries tend to look purple on me, I guess I just thought this would be a lighter berry. Also, the application and packaging are great, but the wear is by no means long lasting, not even average lasting. Without eating, kissing, drinking, and just sitting in class, I got about 1-2 hours of this lip butter with substantial fading. I looked in the mirror and was actually surprised that I could barely see it anymore. I've tried wearing it several times now and each time come to the same conclusion- not for me! I suggest those who have pale skin and want longer lasting lipstick to try something else.

I love this Lip Butter because it's a very wearable berry colour suitable for everyday use. I tend to stay away from colourful lipsticks because I don't think they suit me however this one is great for the less adventurous lipstick users and who want a colour to brighten their face.


The consistency of the lipstick is creamy and it goes on smoothly however it doesn't have great lasting power, which I don't mind but just to let you know that after eating and drinking it will come off.


Nevertheless it's a great lip stick and I just love the colour!

I wanted Berry Smoothie to be more pigmented than it ended up being. It is very moisturizing and a nice colour for day-to-day use with a subtle shimmer, but I wish it was just a little more obvious. It also doesn't last very long. This one definitely disappointed me.

Lovely coolish but not to blue, medium pink shade. Not long-lasting or particularly highly pigmented, but that's usually the trade-off for a glossy finish and moisturizing feel. I really wish, though, that the shimmer wore off evenly along with the base colour, instead of settling into the lines of my lips. I need to either start with a waxy lip balm or use one after a little while to smooth out the shimmer remnants. That's a bit of a hassle for what should be a super-convenient on-the-go MLBB product. That said, I'm wearing it often; it's winter, so the extra balm step isn't much different from what I'd be doing anyway. In the summer, this won't be such a go-to.
