A few weeks ago my friend Carrie asked me for a drugstore lip gloss recommendation, and I admit to being a bit at a loss. I just don't wear a lot of lip glosses, and when I do, it's just to top a lip stain. My favorite gloss for that purpose is Buxom Dominique, and it's pretty pricey and definitely doesn't quality as drugstore.
So I've been meaning to do a post and tell her about Revlon's Lip Butter, which I think is enough of a hybrid product that lipstick and lip gloss lovers alike can love it, although it wears so much better for me than any lip gloss ever has.
Although they come in lipstick form, they are so buttery and sheer that they are almost gloss-like. I currently own four, but note that I've chosen the darkest pigmented shades- there are definitely quite a few lighter options, and I think you'll find good swatches did Scrangie did here.
Here are swatches of three of the shades I have with me today- Lollipop, Cherry Tart, and Sugar Plum.
Good Deal Alert:
Through Sunday, CVS is offering $4 in Extra Care Bucks if you spend $10 on Revlon products.
Here was my purchase yesterday:
2 Lip Butter for $12.00
I used 2 coupon for $1 off a Revlon color cosmetic (found in the 4/1 Smart Source insert)
So I paid $10 and got back $4 in ECB, for a net purchase price of $6 for 2
Some colors to check out (see Scrangie's swatches): Sugar Frosting, Peach Parfait, Cotton Candy, Berry Smoothie, Cupcake, and Creme Brulee.

I still need to pick up some revlon lip butters as I've heard they are all the rage in the blog world. :)
I also am LOVING baby lips by Maybelline! They are my new favorite. Perfect for summer and layering over color. I love the red and grape colors. Sheer, tasty and fun!
Danica- YES- try them! I think you would love them. I got a Baby Lips for WC in peach and she loves it. Now I guess I need to get one of the darker ones for me- grape sounds like a good one.
