The Lip Crayon Face Off

With so many different lip crayons on the market these days (almost every high street brand has their own version of the chubby stick), its hard to choose between them, (especially if you're like me and can only make decisions with the aid of Ip Dip Doo, I know, it's embarrassing). So I decided to put my own collection to the test and see which came out on top.

First off, the original lip crayon...

Clininque Chubby Stick - £17 here
What Clinique say: a moisturizing lip colour balm.

06-Woppin' Watermelon

06-Woppin' Watermelon Swatch

Pros

• Not drying on the lips
• Doesn't cling to dry parts
• Has a glossy finish

Cons

• Very little pigmentation
• Lasts a couple of hours max
• The Price! It's now increased to £17, honestly I don't think it's worth it for, what is essentially, a tinted lip balm

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - £7.99 here
What Revlon say: a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in an adorable chubby crayon.

001 Honey

001 Honey Swatch

Pros

• Pigmentation is good
• Nice minty scent (although, I guess for some this would be a con)
• Colour last about 4-5 hours on me, which is decent for a tinted balm.

Cons

• Colour doesn't apply evenly, clings to dry patches
• Very drying on the lips
• The glossy finish disappears very quickly

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - £7.99 here
What Bourjois say: With its melting formula, Color Boost leaves a radiant veil of colour on the lips with just enough shine and moisture to enhance each shade.

(L-R) 01 Red Sunrise, 02 Fuchsia Libre, 04 Peach on the Beach

(top to bottom) 01 Red Sunrise, 02 Fuchsia Libre, 04 Peach on the Beach Swatches

Pros

• Amazing pigmentation
• Very moisturizing
• Feels comfortable and lightweight on the lips 
• Glossy finish
• Beautiful shades
• Long wearing
• Colour fades evenly
• After gloss is gone, lips are stained
• Contains SPF 15

Cons

• My only issue is the limited shade range

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm - £5.99 here
What Rimmel say: a long lasting intense colour balm.

710 Drive Me Nude

710 Drive Me Nude Swatch

 Pros

• Decent pigmentation
• Feels comfortable on the lips
• Beautiful natural shade range, which I haven't seen from any other brand
• Vanilla scent(reminds me of mini eggs)

Cons

• Only lasts 2-3 hours on the lips
• Doesn't have a very glossy finish

Overall my favourite lip crayons are the Bourjois Colour Boost (particularly Red Sunrise), I only wish that they would expand their shade range.

What are your favourite lip crayons? Do you have any recommendations from other brands for me to try?
