My Favorite Drugstore Beauty Products for Spring 2013 [from Ulta, CVS, Walgreens, Korean brands]

Today I am sharing with you my most recent favorite products from the drugstore, from face products to nail polishes! Drugstore product reviews are very highly requested by my readers and viewers these days, so I figured we could all take a break from the luxury brands' releases to focus on the best in the affordable beauty realm. I test drugstore products regularly, so I have been saving some items to review all at once in this video. I hope you enjoy it!

Revlon Lip Butter Review and Swatches - Tutti Frutti, Cupcake, Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart

These new Colorburst Lip Butters are medium to full pigment hybrid balm-textured lipsticks. And don't worry if you can't find them right now; they'll be permanently available soon!

Revlon really did a wonderful job with the formula and I love the way it glides across the lips. These are moisturizing enough but they cause my sensitive lips to peel so I won't be purchasing any more. With the exception of Cupcake and Creamsicle, the colors are fantastic for anyone in the light to medium skin tone range. Cupcake and Creamsicle would look best on very fair women and men, who are looking more for a lustrous finish to the lips - not much color.

Swatches - Tutti Frutti, Cupcake, Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart

Tutti Frutti

Cupcake

Strawberry Shortcake

Sweet Tart

I purchased Sweet Tart with hesitation but it turned out to be my favorite color! I apologize for the lack of swatches of Creamsicle. It accentuates every dry patch on my lips so I didn't want to post the picture. It's not peach at all on my lips, just an ambiguous milky color. 

Bottom Line: If these didn't make my lips peel, they'd probably be my top drugstore lipstick choice.
