Jumbo Lip Pencils have become the next big thing in the beauty world. Revlon, Clinique, Nars, Covergirl, etc...they all have their versions. I picked up this Jumbo Lip Pencil set from The Color Workshop on Boxing Day at Walmart for only $4.50! It comes with 5 pencils and 2 lip glosses in an assortment pinks and reds and one purple. I really didn't have very high hopes about the quality of these pencils because they are not from a high quality brand. However, the colour payoff is impressive and they stay on the lips for such a long time. The pencils are sorta glossy/sorta matte and the glosses are smooth and non-sticky. There are no names on these products, so I photographed them in the same order as the swatches.
I am really tempted now to run out and buy some other brands jumbo lip crayons, but that will have to wait until my no-buy is done. I would love to know which brands and colours of lip crayons are your favourite. Leave them in a comment below so I can add them to my Buy Later List.
UPDATE - Since writing this post I have seen these sets on Sale at multiple Shoppers Drug Marts for $4.99.

Ooo I really want to see what the purple one looks like on! it doesn't look like it would end up being too pigmented.
ReplyDeleteOn the lips it looks like a light lilac. Kinda like Revlon lip butter in gumdrop
Deleteoo thanks for the swatches. i also saw them on sale at Walmart and was rather tempted by the set! which one is your fave?
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick one it would be the darker of the two reds. It leaves a really nice stain on the lips for hours after. My least favourite is the purple. Although it is a really nice and wearable colour I just think that lilac lip products dont go well with my skin tone.
DeleteI saw one left at Shoppers a couple weeks ago and I passed up..bummer because it's definitely worth the $5! Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI love lip crayons. They are so easy to wear because i'm lazy and can outline my lips and then fill in with one product :P Great post!
