This is a bright orange toned red with gold sparkle through it. It is really quite opaque and very shiny on the lips. I wear this on my brave days. I was expecting a fairly hard consistency given that it is a crayon but it is actually softer and creamier than a normal lipstick is. This means you have to be careful when sharpening it but it is a dream to apply.
The formula is neither moisturising nor drying on my lips. It lasts a good few hours on me (without eating or drinking) and I haven’t experienced any bleeding. I have noticed that it can smudge very easily on hot days which I’m putting down to the waxy formula melting in the heat.
Overall you can colour me impressed. I *think* that all of the available shades are sparkly but don’t quote me on that, and they are all super bright colours. I kinda hope they bring out some more neutral and satin finish colours as the formula really is lovely to wear. Plus there is something childish and fun about actually colouring your lips in... I think it’s definitely worth the £4.95 xx
Adorable! I really want to try some Barry M cosmetics. I always hear such good things about them. ;) Also, have you tried sticking the crayon in the freezer for a few minutes before sharpening? Hope you're having a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a fab day thanks, hope you are too! That is a brilliant idea! I shal try popping it in the freezer next time. Should work! x
ReplyDeleteI always see these on blogs and think 'I must buy one and give it a go' but whenever I go to a counter I always seem to forget and walk away without one!
