Spring trend watch: bright lips with Revlon Lollipop Lip Butter!

Yes, it has actually taken me until now to try one of the infamous new Revlon Lip Butters.  Sigh.  It was that product that I passed by a countless number of times and intended to purchase but just never got around to it.  However, with spring trends practically screaming for BRIGHT LIPS!, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try this little guy.  The lip butter I purchased is in the shade Lollipop, which is a bright fuschia pink with slight shimmer.
Side note: This is more of a picture/swatch post, as I haven't worn this enough to form a valid opinion of the wear time/quality.  My first impression is positive, but you can never be so sure!



Why did I decide to look to Revlon Lip Butters for my newest bright lip color?  From the hundreds of reviews I have read so far, they have the pigmentation of a lipstick but feel like a lip balm (many have reported they are not terribly moisturizing; this is something I'm not sure of for myself yet).  Honestly, I'm terrified of "WOW!" shades of lipstick- I can rock a deep berry and that's about as far into dangerous territory I venture.  I thought that something of this nature might be easier to wear, and if nothing else, wouldn't feel as scary on as it looked from the tube.

Swatches:



How do I like it so far?  It's a great shade of fuschia for spring!  Like I said, I just purchased this yesterday so I don't have a grasp on how long it wears or how moisturizing it can be.  I do love how it provides full color coverage and looks incredibly glossy.  The only downside I've found lies in its packaging- I hate the way to bullet is shaped.  I prefer more of a dome for application, as I find this shape makes it hard to get into smaller areas of your lips.  That being said, I'm definitely going to take a peek at some of the other bright shades Revlon Lip Butters have to offer.  

What say you?  Which other colors would you recommend I try?  Or, if you had a negative experience with these lip butters, feel free to share them in the comments!
