Battle of the Lip Crayons

 
 
                                 
                                        
 
               

Hey guys! Today's blog post is going to be comparing lip crayons. Back in 2013 when Clinique came out with their Chubby Sticks, many other brands decided to come out with their own editions of lip crayons. Bourjois came out with them, ModelsOwn, Rimmel, MUA and many more. You may be thinking that this blogpost is a year late and haha its true but today I'm going to be comparing the Bourjois, Revlon and Primark (yes I said it, Primark!!) lip crayons. Primark have recently came out with their P.S Love makeup range. I was watching Velvetgh0st and BeccaRose 's videos on YouTube as they both did a Primark haul which included this new beauty range. The products they mentioned looked quite nice and good quality so I decided to purchase some. Anyway enough about that and onto the blogpost. This blogpost includes the Revlon Colourburst Laquer Balm in 120 Vivacious, Primark P.S Lip Gloss Crayon in the nude shade (no name) and the Bourjois Colourboost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach.

Starting with the Revlon one. I included this in my Mini Haul blog post which you can view here . The shade I have is in 120 or Vivacious. It's a hot pink and is very glossy and pigmented. It comes out really bright so I don't tend to apply a lot. The Revlon Lip Crayons are very good and pigmented. I really want to get some more neutral shades as this one is quite bright. They also have a peppermint scent which can actually be quite mildly refreshing on the lips, however I'm not a fan of mint so I don't actually like it. For £7.99 these are very good. Definitely going to be purchasing more of these (though I have quite a lot of lip products already haha.)

The Primark lip crayon is actually quite nice. For £1.50 you can't exactly go wrong though can you? I got a nude browny shade, there was also a pale pink and another colour which I cant remember. These lip crayons are quite sheer though, so it's more of a gloss. But I think its quite nice that its sheer as I can wear it to school etc. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to be as good as maybe Revlon for eg, but surprisingly it's not bad. The bit where you twist it is a bit loose but it still works. Also it's really moisturising and glossy.

Moving on the the Bourjois Colourboost Lip crayon. I can remember when these came out in summer and everyone had it (except for me haha). But now I do have it and I'm glad I do. The lip crayons are so nice and are really pigmented! I have the shade Peach on the Beach which is a bright corally peach and I think it's perfect for summer. This is £8.99 which is £1 more expensive than the Revlon one.

My favourite lip crayon is probably the Revlon ones because they have a nice colour range and are really nice. Also they're cheaper than the Bourjois ones haha. But I do actually really like the Revlon ones and I totally recommend you give it a try. But I still recommend the other two, especially the Primark one seeing as it's a bargain! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blogpost and be sure to follow me on bloglovin and Instagram. Have a nice day, bye!
