    I really liked that you offered such a thorough review of all of these, but I sort of think its misleading to compare them as if they are equal to each other. Especially the Revlon lip butters- I have the Sweet Tart one and I’ll admit after hearing about them online I was surprised when I found them at the store. I wasn’t expecting them to seem more like a lipstick. Don’t get me wrong I love them too, but I find it hard to compare them to something like the Maybelline Baby Lips (which I also have and love). Anyway, all of the information was still totally helpful!

    • Jenny says:

      Thank you for your comment Abigail! The reason I compared them was because these products were all released at around the same time and boasted similar features (color + moisture for the lips). I understand they’re not identical products, and my review was more to help further differentiate these products by comparing which offered the best color, moisturizing power, etc.

    I think the only one I can bought in my country is revlon the other ones arent available. But I have dry skin and lips as well I try the nivea ones are awesome the one is cherry lip butter with sp as well and is soft and smell sooo good. You should try it.

    I have the Revlon lip butter! I think mine was in the shade of mauve-pink? I don’t remember the name, but it wasn’t a popular color since when I bought it, it was the only shade that there was an abundance of XD But I really liked it. Too bad I can’t seem to find it… =( Maybe I’ll buy a new one ^^;

    I’ve been trying to find a good tinted lip balm. For everyday use I don’t really like using lipstick or gloss. I refer a simple tinted lip balm. My lips are super pale so a bit a colour helps to make me look a bit more awake.

    I’m going to try the revlon lip balm. I’ve always loved Relvon’s lip product packagings. It looks just like a high end product.

      I agree, the Revlon packaging looks really nice If you have paler lips, the L’oreal ones might actually work for you. Not sure about your drugstore’s return policy, but I ended up returning mine today.

    I like that you compared them all! I haven’t tried any of these, but it would be nice to get a balm with color that’s actually moisturizing. I’ll have to try the Revlon ones :)

    I have the Colour Riche Balm in Plush Plum and I don’t find it sheer at all, but that’s probably because it’s a much darker color. I’m not impressed with its moisturization, but it’s definitely not drying. I’ve never tried any of the others, but I had been curious to try the Lip Butters when they came out; maybe now I will. :)

    • Jenny says:

      Yeah, maybe the darker colors would’ve shown up better, but I was really hoping it’d be as pigmented as the Revlon’s, which bwt, I totally recommend :D
