Last year everyone hopped aboard the 'lip crayons' train, with Clinique taking the lead and everyone willingly following suit. Colour plus convenience and for the most part - comfort, it was a winning combination for many brands. Not totally convinced I'd be into the lip crayon thing, I opted to try out the most purse friendly version - MUA 'Power Pouts'.
Power Pouts are tinted lip balms, which deliver instant gloss and colour as well as instant relief from dry lips. The packaging looks and feels a bit naff, but for £3 who can moan? I quite like that the outer casing matches the colour inside, as it makes finding whichever shade you're after much easier in a crowded make-up bag.
'Irreplaceable' applied smoothly, gliding on without dragging on the lips or feeling waxy. These also have a minty fresh scent, which fades quickly.
The colour applies evenly, with enough pigmentation to actually be worth buying (aint tinted lip balms that show up clear a pain?)
This is a pretty shade :)

ReplyDelete@ Kayla, it is a lot less Barbie than the packaging would have you think :)
ReplyDelete@ Cin, haha, one to put on the wish list!
@ Charlotte, comfy enough for everyday too!

@ Hannah, definitely worth trying! MUA are quite clever and tend to dupe pricer stuff really well.

@ Daisy, thank you!
@ Crissy, it's pretty natural for a pink on me :)
@ Nunnu, worth a look!
I've tried the Bourgois and the Soap and Glory lip crayons and loved them both. I'll definitely give this one a try as the price is great. Thanks for the recommendation. xxx
