The latest trend in lip products are lip crayons. What are they? Somewhere between a lip gloss and a lipstick they are packed in cute crayon forms and the best part with them is the ease of application

I was introduced to them when  Clinique launched the Chubby sticks . The chubby sticks were priced really high and the not-so-great reviews meant I wasn’t getting them. Everything changed with the launch of just bitten balm stains by Revlon.  Revlons Lip crayons were priced pretty decently and had amazing staying power and colour pay off and I rushed get myself my first lip crayon In Rendezvous. I was amazed at how convenient they were to use , no lip brush or a lip liner was required and yet I got a bright even finish which wasn’t too gloopy like a gloss. Then began my obsession as I went on to buy more crayons in adore, darling, love sick, romantic and dint stop there. I ventured into other brands and brought a Loreal glam gloss and an Oriflame lip Impact crayon too.




My Favorite ones still are Revlon Just bitten balm Stains which though are a bit pricey at 700 but they are totally worth the money giving an amazing staying power of around 6 hours and having 10 wearable shades to choose from. They arent very moisturizing so don’t think of them as a substitute to your lip balms.



Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in Rendezvous is pure orange . This is my first orange lip colour and I love it but don’t realy use it much. If you want to try out an orange lip this could be your pick.,
Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in Darling is a light purlish pink which is perfect for everyday wear for soft make up look
Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in adore is a brown with red undertones which will suit all indian skin tones. Minty feel, glossy finish, amazing staying power , sleek packaging whats not to like? This is my most used crayon and  I recommend this gorgeous shade to everyone
.
Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in Lovesick is a fushcia pink which is not suitable for warm tones beauties. Fair skinned girls will love this


Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in Crush is a Dark burgandy shade. Crush also could be addressed as a deep plum and has the most staying power. Not a favourite with me as I hate dark colours but if you like deep plums you should try this. This definitely will suit a great range of skin tones and makes for a great winter lip colour

Revlon Just Bitten balm stain  in Romantic is a red with orange undertone. It will suit most indian skin tone and can be wore anywhere . another gorgeous shade I recommend to all. If you want to start with wearing red, romantic is your answer.

The LOreal Paris Balm shine Balmy gloss in Pomegranate Punch is a glossy maroon with some shimmer in it. This doesn’t have a very good staying power (about 2 hours)  but is very moisturizing and decently pigmented. It is priced just right at 400 INR and if you want to experiment with lip crayons this is the range to start from.

Oriflame Lip Impact Crayon in Pink Impact is a mauve glossy pink which is priced at 350 (could be brought for even less) . Frankly this was a huge disappointment for me as the crayon is too soft and melts away faster than. Add to it the need of sharpening and a not very impressive staying power of around 3 hours. I wouldn’t recommend this one even for the price. I actually use a lip brush to dig in product and apply on my lips as the normal jumbo  sharpener cant sharp it!

Why Am I obsessed with Lip Crayons?

• Ease Of Use: I can apply it even without a mirror. A swipe and iam done. No need of a lip brush or lip pencil
• Packaging: The packaging both cute and travel friendly. Adorably compact they are fun to use
• Bid Bye to Sharpeners: There is no wastage because of sharpening as these crayons come in a twist up packaging. (But the oriflame one does need to be sharpened)
• All in One gloss cum balm cum lipstick: Lip Crayons are the best thing of all lip products packaged into one. They are very moisturizing , stay for long and add decent colour too.

Other lip Crayons you could try (Also on my wish list )

• Colorbar Take Me As I Am Stick Rs 800
• Lakme Absolute lip Tints – Rs 900
• Clinique Chubby Stick - Rs 1,300
• Max Factor Colour Elixr Giant Pen Stick- Rs 675
• Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - Rs 785.
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Balm
• NYX jumbo pencil 
• Inglot Matte Lip Crayons
• Revlon colour burst Laquer Balms and Matte balms

Everything from the 'Intense kisses' tag to the chic lipstick marked packaging is appealing about this range of glosses from MUA.

I had read raving reviews of this range all around the Internet and I was eager to try this range out. When I finally got my hands on one of these glosses - I was impressed!

*The only con is its availability. If you go buying it in Jabong or any such website, you'll have to pay thrice the more price >_<. But you can buy it from MUA's online website. Look out for offers and buy when they have sales and amazing discounts for international customers!

Bling Sparkle Verdict: 'Lips are sealed' gloss by MUA is an amazing everyday shade of  pink gloss with a decent staying power and coverage packed at an unbelievable price! I totally recommend these beauties to you all! It can work for girls with pigmented lips too. It looks good on beauties with all types of skin tones! All in all, it's a superb gloss! Just go for it!

Stay kissed,

Every teen has this first time cosmetic usage stage ! And this lip gloss by Revlon was my very first one !
The time I bought I was so sure I would finish it off within a few weeks that I had already imagined buying 2 more of these in other flavors !

Alas, I used it only thrice *sad face* . I stopped using it the very next minute I got my hands on a much better staying power wala lip gloss.


It was a favorite in my teens . I bought it from a Cosmetic store which was opened newly at Big bazaar.

Quantity :3.9 grams (glitter) + 4 grams (gloss).
Price :INR 120 (It cost me more! YES But I don’t remember how much *scratches head* )
Packaging : 2 tubs . One with the glitter and the other with the gloss. A thick layer of plastic underneath the product makes it a tad too heavy ! *eye roll* . Also application with fingers dipping and re dipping is not my types.

Ingredients : NOT mentioned.

Staying power and pigmentation : The glitter lasts for about 30 minutes to 1 hour , the gloss for 1 hour and the glitter+gloss for about 30 to 40 minutes depending on how many times you eat.  A lip swatch is a waste of time all you can see is a layer of purple Vaseline , for some reason, I just hated the glitter part.
It is a cute lip gloss for teenagers who step newly into the make up world. I would NOT recommend it for women aged 20+ !
I loved the concept of double scoop..

Yay’s:

• Cute packaging. (Thankfully the glitter and the product are in two different tubs!)
• The gloss looks cute even without the glitter
• Feminine fragrance #Ilike
• Smooth and soft on application.
• Gives a cute glowing purple color when swatched 4-5 times.
• I like the name , Its kinda cute *wink*
• If you are lucky enough to finish the product ,you can reuse the tub to store a home made lip balm *Kbye.*

Nay’s:

• Absolutely no staying power at all!
• This being my first lip gloss ended up creating a mind set that glosses have no staying power during my teenage years! *Boohoo*
• Unhygienic!
• Insanely stickyyyyyyyyyyy!
• The glitter is a waste of space and money ! WASTE ! I didn't use it even once.Tralalalala
• The packaging is heavy and not travel friendly.
• Reapplication is an issue for me ! Hence it’s a BIG con for me.

Also they are now discontinued (Guessing) . If you want to buy it please don’t waste time you will end up with an expired product .LOL.

Rating:
2/5

Availability: You can still buy them on Ebay. (Yes yes guessing guessing) They are available in 3 different shades
Flirtalicious,Limealicious and Coffeelicious.

Will I repurchase it?
I will, once I finish of this one first, which is possible only if I use it on a regular basis.LOL joking I am not purchasing this ever.
