A Christmas Present... To Myself!

I just can't get enough of this chunky lip crayon craze!
























I absolutely love Revlon's take on lip crayons (so much so I have an over flowing muji drawer of the darn things) but I've recently started branching out to other brands like Bourjois and Max Factor to see what they have to offer. When I saw that NARS had put together a handy lip coffret containing five of their lip pencils I had to get my mitts on it. I mean, how could I not?

Can we just take a second to appreciate the packaging here?! Swoon.

The set contains two of their velvet matte formulas (Cruella and Iberico) and three of their satin finishes (Yu, Descanso and Torres Del Paine). Having never tried these before I've gotta say my first impressions are good. The matte formulas in particular have seriously good lasting power, they seem to last forever (even after drinking and eating a few too many curly wurlys!). Both formulas glide on easily and feel comfortable on the lips.

 Descanso, Torres Del Paine, Iberico, Cruella, Yu. 

A good mix of shades, no? I'm not too sure what I think about Iberico (the vibrant orange) but I'm really happy with the other shades. I'm really surprised how smitten I am with the two nude shades and I have a feeling I'm going to be obsessed with Cruella over the next few months...

You can pick up NARS Digital World Lip Pencil Coffret for £32 here.

  3. These look lovely and the shades really suit you though I see what you mean about the orangey one. I've got a skin tone similar to yours so I will definitely have to check these out.

  7. I never tried lip crayons, are they really different from lipstick?

    1. They're not hugely different. I find them 10x easier to apply though! Revlon do some amazing ones - I'd highly recommend checking them out :) x
