Wet n Wild Velvet Matte Lip Crayon | Review & Swatches

Liquid lipstick, contouring palettes, and glowing highlighters. Makeup trends are forever evolving, and I always enjoy indulging in a select few. On an almost daily basis, I wear concealer, mascara, brows and blush. Lip balm is a give in, especially in the winter. So the one product that I just can't get behind is lipstick. I'll swipe some on for a night out or special meeting, but the smudging and resulting dryness never seems to be worth it.

One of the new products that I'm trying out from wet n wild is their Velvet Matte Lip Color Crayon. Available in 9 shades, these pencils are a great drugstore find when you're looking for a fresh and fun lip colour for the spring.


Pros:

• Super wearable colours 
• Convenient and sleek packaging
• Good pigmentation 
• No weird flavour 
• Wears off evenly

Cons:

• Usually drying on easily chapped lips (I apply a lip balm before)
• The tip does not retract all the way down, which causes a mess in the cap
• The packaging may be deceiving since the colours are more neutral than expected

A365 Lie Lack, A367 Shelly Shocked, A361 Toffee Frappe
A368 Turnt Orange, A363 Hickory Smoked, A366 Berry Tales
A364 Charred Cherry

I always apply a light layer of lip balm before the velvet matte pencils. I love how they are a lipstick/lip liner hybrid, combining the long-wearing matte finish of a liner with the smoothness of a lipstick. My favourite shade is A364 "Charred Cherry", and A366 "Berry Tales" (worn here) comes in as a close second.
