Hey girlies. Happy Sunday :)
It's starting to cool down in these parts (as cool as the tropics can get) and I was in the midst of taking an afternoon nap when I remembered that I had a bunch of swatches to do (and I do mean a bunch!!)
I bought these lip pencils when I was on a mad hunt for the perfect red lippie and true to form I have accumulated them but hardly wear them. I swear my New Year's cosmetics resolution is to use up my stash and make room for more stuff.
Anyhoo, these babies are a lip pencil/lipstick in one and remind me a teeny bit of the NYX round lippies in terms if the consistency. They're super creamy, VERY pigmented are extremely affordable. I think they retail for around $4 USD on the NYX website (I got mine off ebay and got a deal on them as they were sold in a bundle....can't remember the price but they were about $17USD including shipping).
What I really love about these is how easy they are to use. I just dab some on and blend into my lips (finger, lipbrush etc) and I'm good to go. I do, however, think that you would still need a lip pencil with these because they are SO creamy that I don't think they work well to line your lips. Nevertheless I think these are great for the price and quite convenient to carry around for touch-ups.
On to the swatchies! Please forgive any fuzz that you see. I took these before I did my hair removal (eek!)
