FEARLESS MAC PATENTPOLISH LIP PENCIL - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

On the MAC website they have recently launched 12 new PatentPolish lip pencils. The PatentPolish lip pencils have the shine of a gloss and the color of a lip pencil. The colors range from corals, pinks to nudes and each is housed in a twist up chubby pencil. I purchased Kittenish and Fearless. Click on the links below to read more about the whole collection and to see my review of Kittenish. 

Fearless is described as a deep blue pink and it provides semi-opaque coverage. It is rather sheer like a lip balm, it applies unevenly and tends to settle into the lips. Reapplication is necessary as it does not wear very well (at least on me) and seemed to enhance any lip imperfections. Fearless lasted maybe two or three hours wear time at best and then it just looked faded and feathered. It also has a really strong Vanilla scent, one that is similar to the MAC lipsticks, but nothing quite as strong as this. Overall I was just really disappointed with the performance of Fearless. There are better lip products out there and at $20 each I am not going to waste my money on a poor performer such as this. 

The PatentPolish lip pencils currently retail for $20.00 USD and they contain .08 oz. of product.

KITTENISH MAC PATENTPOLISH LIP PENCIL - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

On their website, MAC recently launched 12 new PatentPolish lip pencils. The PatentPolish lip pencils have the shine of a gloss and the color of a lip pencil. The colors range from corals, pinks to nudes and each is housed in a twist up chubby pencil. I purchased Kittenish which is a mauve-y pink. It has the consistency of a creamy lightweight lipstick and I didn't notice any dryness to my lips when wearing the lip product. Wear time for the Kittenish lip pencil lasted for about four hours and with only one application it seemed to cover the lips like a full coverage lipstick. It also had great pigmentation with no settling into the lip lines. Kittenish currently retails for $20.00 USD and contains .08 oz. of product.

ROSE BROWN BOBBI BROWN ART STICK - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Art Sticks are the newest lip product launched by Bobbi Brown. It is a combo of a lipstick and lip liner housed in a chunky pencil form. It applies smooth and creamy and has a matte finish. There are a total of eight shades to choose from and the color range is quite diverse. Each Art Stick currently retails for $26.00 USD and contains .2 oz of product and an enclosed sharpener is provided as well.

When applying the Art Stick as a lip liner one should use the point to gently line the outer edges of the lips. Then to apply as a lipstick one will need to hold the pencil at an angle against the lips to fill in the entire lip with color. Now the whole concept of a chunky / chubby lip pencil is not entirely new. Clinique and Max Factor had their chubby sticks way back in the late eighties and they are still as popular today as they were back then. For the longest time chubby sticks were my go-to lip product. So while the concept isn't entirely new the formulation has definitely been improved upon to the point where these will now last all day.

I purchased Rose Brown which, as the name suggests, is a warm rosy brown. Unfortunately it was a good bit darker than what I expected. So keep that in mind when purchasing them from the website. I would recommend exfoliating before applying these because they tend to enhance any lip imperfections such as dry or chapped lips. It didn't seem moisturizing but neither did it dry out my lips. Rose Brown wore for about eight hours with some slight fading after about five hours.

CHANEL VARIATION LE ROUGE COLLECTION

LE ROUGE CHANEL introduces COLLECTION VARIATION, a range of intriguing plums, soft reds and elegant beiges for lips. A spectrum of textures and finishes lets each woman declare her style on a whim . . . with a kiss of colour that speaks volumes.

VARIATION LE ROUGE is the newest collection to be launched by Chanel. The collection is rather large consisting of new and re-issued products (lipsticks, lipglosses and lip pencils) with the main focus on color groups: beige, red-pink and plum shades of maroon. It is important to note Chanel has instituted a price increase on several of their products.

Originally the release date for the collection was around Feb 21, in Japan and then mid-March for the US release. However many of the items are already available on the Nordstrom website.
