Maybelline Velvet Lip Pencils

Oh now you didn’t think you were off the hook on the lip posts ENTIRELY, did you? Luckily we’re back to more affordable, more attainable items such as these awesome matte lip pencils from Maybelline. I bought In With Coral a few months ago and was totally sold but it wasn’t until recently I picked up a couple more and felt ready to review them. I’m glad I didn’t just rave about the one I first chose as that was definitely a good example but the range is not 100% consistent. The finishes and textures vary colour to colour, In With Coral is creamy enough but still matte, Minimalist (the nude/pink) is frosted and much drier to apply.. not half as forgiving on less than perfect lips and Keep It Classy is so rich I can barely believe it came from a pencil. They all set to a near enough matte finish with varying degrees of comfort, Keep It Classy is definitely the winner there but In With Coral has it for colour.. not entirely in season but I just love a good neon bright.

I will be picking up more of these for sure, if you have any suggestions as to which I might NEED let me know but next on my list are Fuchsia Desire/Berry Much.. I think they might be must haves. I’ve tried some higher end lip pencils such as these (NARS for example) in the past and honestly they’re no better.. I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy another but I for sure will buy every one of these before I do!!
