They last a really long time because they have that staining effect. I do have to say that these aren't quite the same as the other products that I've mentioned but they leave a really nice, stained look on the lips. The Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm's are more like a semi-matte, they don't instantly apply as a matte, but if you were to dab your lips with a tissue or apply some translucent powder to your lips, then it would be matte. You can get these at Priceline, Target, Big W etc, and they aren't going to be as expensive as the Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencils.

The ColorBlur's are hella pigmented, and are very neon depending on which shade you get. The ColorBlur's are the most matte out of all of these lip crayons but I kind of understand why the product was made so that you could easily create an ombre affect on the lips, that could be more difficult if you used a glossier product because gloss formula's can spread more easily. The Maybelline ColorBlur's are something I have been waiting over a year to get, since Shaaanxo did her collaboration video with Maybelline which featured this product. These can be quite pricey but the quality is definitely what you're paying for. In a few of the shades, like Sex Machine in particular, it can have a bit of sparkle to it which gives it a totally different look as opposed to a complete matte monochrome colour. Out of all of these this formula is the second most matte, however they don't feel drying at all. The first set I got was the birthday present from Sephora and the second set I got was from Steven Klein collection. The next brand is of course Nars, Nars have very beautiful Velvet Matte Lip Pencils. Lip Monthly said they retail for $25, I'm guessing U.S.D? I also don't know if you can get your hands on these in Australia but if you can get them, definitely give them a go. I am so thankful for Lip Monthly for showing me this brand. The packaging is amazing, taking a step back from the trends and going with a gun metal look.

They first sent me a orange/red one and I wasn't crash hot on it because I don't wear that kind of colour but then I got a red one and it's so freaking pigmented! Pretty much all of the lip crayon's I'm going to talk about are going to have a creamy consistency but Mirabella knows what's up with pigment. I discovered these in Lip Monthly (a subscription box) and I fell in love with it pretty quickly. The first one I'm going to talk about is Mirabella Velvet Lip Pencil. As Lip Week continues, I thought I've already done, lipsticks, lip liners so I decided to do lip crayons! These are my favourite brands of lip crayons and my favourite lip crayon formulas.
