I first saw these products on the MUA blog and I instantly knew I had to try them
because they are the sort of lip product I am interested in. Bold colours but
suitable if you are afraid of colour because they are not as powerful as your
standard lipstick, so right up my street.
The packaging is like most chubby lip
crayons. It has a chubby plastic barrel and the colour of each barrel reflects
what the shade is. It has the silver band around the base of the barrel and the
plastic lid, which is also the same colour as the barrel. For application you
twist the silver band and the product will push up through the barrel. The tip
of the crayon is pointy and slightly skinny and the formula is light and
glossy. I’m not sure exactly how much product you get, but if you twist it up
completely you can see 3.5cm of the product and there could be more hidden in
the barrel, which may require the use of a lip brush to get it out.
There are currently six shades
available which include, Broken Hearted,
Crazy In Love, Irreplaceable, Justify, Rendezvous and Runway. The shades range from subtle to intense and there is a
colour for everyone.
After swatching all the shades I
decided to pick up Irreplaceable,
which is a hot raspberry pink and Justify,
which is a soft pink coral.
This chubby lip crayon should give your
lips intense colour and be easy to build from a soft sheer look to intensity.
It should be easy to use and dispense, be moisturising for your lips as well as
treating them if they are dry or cracked. Most of all, your lips should look
“good enough to kiss” – MUAstore.co.uk.
I really like this product. The
packaging is lovely and it is very easy to use and dispense. It has a slight
minty scent and is quite moisturising on the lips. You can easily build the
colour from a soft sheer shade by blending it with your finger and then for
intense colour pay off, just apply it straight from the barrel. The brighter the
colour you choose, the more intense the overall colour payoff is. The colour
can last up to two hours on your lips if you do not eat or drink anything and
then after you can see the slight tint/stain that is left behind. I’m not sure
whether it would really treat your lips though. I prefer a regular lip balm for
treatment because if you apply a bright colour over dry or cracked lips it
would be very obvious and I’m guessing your lips would look even more ghastly.
The only real problem I have with this product is that the lid is not very
secure. If you leave it rolling around in your handbag, you are likely to find
it lidless and the colour smushed all around the interior of your handbag!
Overall your lips do look good enough
to kiss and I would definitely consider purchasing more shades and I hope MUA
bring out more Summer time shades.
