Lord & Berry Lipstick Crayon Review

Lord & Berry Lip Crayon 'Mandarin' - £8 - ASOS


I was having one of my regular ASOS binges last week and really fancied treating myself to some new beauty bits. I took advantage of the 25% discount and decided to pick up a few Illamasqua treats, and i also decided to pop one of these little lip crayons into my virtual basket. And i'm so chuffed that i did.

Lord & Berry isn't a brand i'd really looked into before, or really heard much about, and i was really intrigued by their lipstick crayons. I opted for an orangey peach shade in 'Mandarin' (i really need to stop this addiction to coral..it's getting slightly obsessive). I love how it comes packaged in a little white box - for a product which is fairly reasonably priced i didn't really expect it come in its own box and it made me a very happy lady (i'm one of these girls that keeps all their makeup stored neatly in boxes...i just never want to throw them away.. the thought of throwing pretty little boxes in the bin makes me feel a little bit sad inside..)

The consistency is just perfect; really creamy and smooth. I half expected it to be very drying and difficult to apply, but it applies like a dream, and gives a very pigmented but glossy finish.  It also smells like vanilla (similar to Mac lipsticks but with even more hints of vanilla-ey yummyness). I've worn this for a few days now and even though it is quite glossy and light, it does last quite well - i only needed to reapply a small number of times throughout the day as it wears off gradually and still gives a pretty hint of colour after an hour or so.


I really like the concept of crayon lipsticks - they've really taken off this past year (Topshop's are proving very popular), as they are so easy to apply as you can vary the thickness of the line you're getting, it's easy to get a more precise finish without the need for a lip liner, and they just seem altogether more versatile.


I'll definitely be purchasing another of these, and i'll also be looking into more products from Lord & Berry as this little crayon has impressed me no end. 


What are your thoughts on lip crayons?
Have you ever tried any products from Lord & Berry?

  7. I really want to try lip crayons as all the beauty blogs seem to be full of them at the moment! This one looks lovely and creamy, I really want to try coy by topshop, but apparently that can be quite drying so I'm not sure! Thanks for becoming a new follower of mine, I'm following you right back as this is just the sort of blog I love! xxx
