Lord & Berry

I find the chunkiness of lip crayons intimidating but this makes for fuss-free and flawless application, even for someone's who's an amateur. The point is fine and the shade as scarlet as they come - it's a rich, intense red which means you can rest assured it'll last all night without you having to relentlessly top it up. Although it's a fail-safe product, it won't be replacing my go-to lipsticks but I'd definitely use it again.

I love the feel of this product it's really moisturising and easy to apply. But I think you definitely need to use a liner with this product. The colour was just too bright for me though so wouldn't use this product again. But I would consider other colours within this range.

I’ve been testing the Lord & Berry crayon lipstick and decided to wear it on a night out to test it to its full potential. First thing is its GORGEOUS smell, a lovely subtle vanilla. Colour pay off is fabby, really opaque so need to apply layers and layers in order for the colour to show on your lips. It’s a wonderful bright true red with a lovely creamy texture that goes smoothly onto the lips. It’s got a fairly large nib so application is pretty easy although I found become of its creaminess, you may need to be a little careful on applying as I made a few niggly mistakes. Now this is NOT a matte lipstick - so if you’re looking for a matte red lip, this one isn’t for you. I found it gave a lovely toned down glossy look – not too shiny at all which I liked considering I’m more of a matte lip gal. Throughout the night, I never had any problems with it feeling uncomfortable on my lips, very hydrating as the benefits claim. Only downside I had is that it didn’t meet its claimed mark of being long lasting. I found it lasted a max of around 2ish hours before I needed a good touch up. I would definitely recommend to use a red lip liner with this one as I did get a little bleeding round the edges of my lips but it wasn’t too noticeable. Really liked the packaging, nice and slim with a twist-up feature (no need to sharpen, hurrah!) and easy to throw in your bag. At £12, it’s a nice mid-range lipstick if you want to splurge a little on a good quality red lip that’s moisturising and has brilliant pigmentation. Just don’t eat/drink too much with this on and is it is a little prone to smudging!

The Lord & Berry crayon lipstick is a highly pigmented, easy to apply product with excellent staying power. The Scarlett shade is a bright red, that even used sparingly, gives a vibrant matte effect. Unlike some matte finish lipsticks, it felt comfortable on my lips and not drying. It stayed put all day, with one application in the morning, and even after eating and drinking it was only slightly worn away where the lips meet. It is good value for money, considering the level of pigmentation and staying power. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone in search of a matte finish lipstick.

A flattering shade of red in matte that has some staying power, it doesn't bleed much without liner and although stays would require top ups to keep the bold colour. I found 10 minutes for the colour to fix and that it did fade when eating and drinking but not disappear. There's a waxy scent from the lipstick and the pencil design fun but a sharpener would be needed (not mechanical) once low.
