If you're mourning the discontinuation of Revlon's Lip Butters, you can get some of them in the form of Super Lustrous Lipsticks

Just a quick note about something I came across when I was browsing the Ulta website contemplating whether or not I should buy more Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks (according to the email I got from Ulta this morning, the sale on them ends tomorrow, so I guess I need to decide). I was scrolling through the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks (they are on sale for $4.79 right now, which is why I was looking at them in the first place--most other Revlon products are also on sale), and I saw three "NEW" shades at the end of the list: Berry Smoothie, Pink Truffle, and Peach Parfait. Those were three of the most popular shades of the recently discontinued Lip Butters, so if one of those is your favorite, maybe you don't need to despair. I don't know if the formula is the same, but the Super Lustrous lipsticks that I've tried have been quite comfortable and moisturizing, so it might well be. (You can also still get most of the other shades of the Lip Butters from drugstore.com while they last--if the discontinuation is news to you and you need to stock up.)

Has Revlon Lip Butter in Fig Jam been discontinued?

I saw a listing for some of them on Ebay that said they were d/c. Why would Revlon do that? Oh, right, because of this. Anyway, if you love that one, you might want to grab it if you see some left in the store. I have one, but I never really find myself using it. I put it on my "meh" list. Are you going to miss it? Or is the Ebay seller just trying to trick us?

Pretty Neutral: Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle vs. Revlon Balm Stain in Honey

Of all the products with bizarrely and needlessly long names, Revlon ColorStay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain is probably my favorite (swatches of all the ones I own here). Of all the neutral lip colors I've ever tried, Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (*deep breath*) in Honey is definitely my favorite. Most beigey or browny neutrals wash me out, but Honey is a really flattering rosy neutral that totally works for me. I wouldn't call it "my lips but better," since my lips are naturally more of a pink than a neutral. Instead, I would call it a neutral that makes my lips look awesome - not invisible - and is totally appropriate for professional occasions when I need to look polished but not too made up. My go-to job interview lip shit.

My second favorite Revlon products are the ColorBurst Lip Butters. They're comfortable and easy to use and wear. So when Pink Truffle came out a while back, looking intriguingly similar to Honey, I thought maybe it would be worth adding a sort of dupe in a different formula to my hoard. (I'd tried something like that once before with the ColorBurst Matte Balm in Elusive and failed, but you have to admire my perseverance, right? Right?) So how do Pink Truffle and Honey compare?

ULTA Lip Butter in London.

I recently got the ULTA Lip Butter in London, to see how it compared to the Revlon lip butters, which I like and others love. I reviewed and swatched some here.
