Almay has some really cool butter lip sticks - Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipsticks. I had a coupon for an Almay product (yes, I use coupons, I'm eye ball deep in student debt) and it was essentially free so I went for it.
I decided to get a lip product because they looked to pretty to pass up and I was intrigued by the coloring system. It's essentially based on color (berry, pink, red, etc) and skin tone (light, medium, dark). I figured I was a light and I was interested in the berry colors, so I grabbed Berry Light.

Butter lipsticks tend to be really soft and feel lovely on the lips. I want to wear them like chapstick and run them numerous times over my lips to get them nice and coated. I will say, with this one specifically (can't speak for the rest, I don't own any others), it was better with one swipe. When I kept going over same area to get more color, it started sticking in places as you can see in the above picture. It just wanted to clump. Not a big deal, but it doesn't give the best color pay off. But that's not what these are intended to do, so it's ok. Still feels great. Like a cross between a gloss and chapstick.
I likely won't buy another one. I don't wear lip products often and I drink water (or coffee) all day long so I like something with a stain in it also. It's nice to wear but I usually use it on the weekends when I don't care if I have color all day long and reapply like crazy!
Any experience with these?
