So I was recently reading Sarah's post about these Maybelline Colour Drama lip pencils and when I was out shopping the other day, before I knew it I had paid and two of these bad boys were coming home with ME. How did it happen!? I'm still asking myself this question.
Maybelline Color Drama - Fab Orange | Maybelline Color Drama - Fuchsia Desire (and if you're quick they are on offer!)
In Sarah's post she compared them with the NARS Lip Pencils. If you know me, you'll know 'high end' isn't my forte and I muuuuch prefer high street (post coming on this soon!). As I can't compare them I will just tell you what I think about them.
(please excuse my messy red one, oops)
So these pencils are an interesting one. On the outside they honestly look like a pencil that you would write with (yeah I know mine don't look like that anymore!) but then when you put them on they are incredibly pigmented and such a different texture to what you would imagine. Although I think my pictures do make them look quite nice, they really don't do them enough justice. I can't believe how pigmented they are and at £4.99 they really are just a massive steal. They are very matte but I wouldn't say they are too drying. However if you don't like this feel, grab a clear gloss and your sorted!
There are so many shades there will defiantly be one there for you. G'waaan go and get some. you'll love them.. don't say I didn't warn ya!!
Will you be trying these out? What colour do you like the best?
Wow these are actually gorgeous, so pigmented! Definitely going to nab one myself :)

I've used something similar by BarryM before and loved those. The colours you've chosen are beautiful - did they do any others?
ReplyDeleteOooh! These look really nice. I normally fork out and spend more on the high end make up but if the quality is really that good for less than a fiver, I might be a convert.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen these around before, but they look amazing! The colours are so pretty, I can't decide which one I like more!

I saw these in-store but I thought they might be a little scratchy. The finish looks nice and creamy though so I need to check them out :)

I saw a review of these the other day and was tempted, now I'm sold! Dying to try the Nars ones so this sounds like a fab tester to see if I like them. With the price you can't really go wrong!

This is the first I've seen of these and they seem like a great dupe for the Nars ones. Fab Orange looks lovely Xx

High street is awesome! I'm pretty sure you can get just as good quality in high street brands but at a cheaper price.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of these.
