Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil Review

I have this in the coral shade. On first application I was not so impressed- this clung to my super dry lips and was so neon coral it was a bit scary! After a good lip scrub this was much nicer- really easy to apply and nice and creamy. This dries down to a matte but was not drying like I have come to expect from matte lip colours. I did kind of expect that this would hold up really well on my lips but this transferred much like any other regular lipstick. I did find that it wore off quite unevenly while eating/drinking so I would probably not wear this to go out to dinner in!

This is such a great price, have my eye on quite a few more of their shades!

Maybelline is one of my favourite drug store brands, 'the falsies' is one of my favourite mascaras and when this lippie made an appearance in a beauty box I purchased, I just couldn't wait to give it a go.

Firstly, the packaging is stylish, modern and a perfect compact size to fit in your bag. The black tube is elegant, emblazoned with white writing and teamed with the matching colour of the lipstick on the end. Such a stylish design.

My colour is 'light it up' a lovely vibrant red that does make you light up. It's a fun, beautiful colour that makes you feel cheerful wearing it. The colour is bright, perfect and stunning. It's definitely for the bold! I used to only wear subtle shades, but I now really have a love of red lipsticks - it's such a classic look.

My lips tend to be on the dry side, so with a matte lippie, like these I always make sure I use my elf lip exfoliator first, some balm and then apply this.

The lip pencil, reminds me of a smaller Clinique chubby stick (yet so much cheaper!). It's comfortable to hold and so easy for application. The formula is lovely and glides over your lips. The formula is nice and creamy to work with. The finish is matte, yet its more moisturising than other matte lip pencils i havr tried. I like its quite long lasting and seems to stay on for awhile, through eating and drinking.

I really think this lip pencil is great value for the price. It's quickly become one of the lipsticks I reach for the most. I'm so glad I tried this and can't wait to add more to my collection. Maybe a nude colour will be my next choice!

When I saw that this product was launched I thought it was just a lipstick stuck inside a pencil. After seeing the price at New World I thought I may as well buy it. I picked up the shade 'Pink So Chic' which in my eyes would be described as more of an electric purple colour.

The lip pencil glides on very velvety as promised and with fully opaque coverage, it makes for a nice bold lip. It leaves a satin finish which later goes down to semi-matte on my lips and still moisturizes my lips throughout the day. The stay power is also pretty good, it does transfer a bit but I've never really tried any lipstick that had no transfer.

Will definitely be trying more of this range! 'In With Coral' is very tempting!

Had this for a while now and keep forgetting to review this even though I've been using it quite regularly. I heard so many raves about it so I bought it when Farmer had a gwp on Maybelline products. I have the beautiful, classic red shade called Red Essential. I love the design of a lip pencil since it gives all the color and pigmentation of a lipstick plus the extra control. The only thing I don't like about packaging is how when I try to sharpen it, it seems to be quite wasteful. And with a short wee pencil like that I'm already about half way through. I've been loving statement red lately so this has been a staple in my makeup bag. Application is super smooth and looks just as creamy as it feels. It doesn't feel drying at all and when I apply it pretty thick, there's not feather kind of look where the lip color sinks into the wrinkles in your lips making you lips look super dry and gross (anyone? Please tell me it's not just me). There's none of that with this, it looks so smooth and velvety. It's not very great at staying on my lips throughout the day. I definitely have to take it off and reapply it after eating and leaves the typical lip print on cups and mugs (but at least I can instantly tell which glass is mine hehe). Also I've the dreadful habit of licking my lips every now and then before I talk so I end up licking quite a fair bit off. Lets hope it's not too poisonous! Overall a wonderful lip pencil that looks stunning and feels soft on my lips. Definitely worth the buy! I've now put In with Coral in my wishlist since I was so impressed with this.

I love these pencils, such an innovation in lipstick! I like the idea of "drawing in" some lippy, no more messy edges, and no need for a lip brush (if you use one). They look awesome by themselves (have been asked several times what my awesome lipstick was when wearing the In The Coral shade) or with lip gloss on top. These are really highly pigmented, they surprised me with the amount of colour they put on your lips.

I have this in the nude perfection shade and it's amazing. The colour is absolutely on par with the name and gives the most gorgeous and natural look to the lips - similar to Velvet Teddy by mac. Only downside is that it is so super hard to find a sharpener that will sharpen this product ):

I have 5 of these beauties and I love every single one. (Thank you Chelsea xxx). I have the shades fuchsia desire, in with coral, fab orange,  red essential and berry much. It's hard to pick just 1 favourite so I've narrowed it down to 3. The ones I reach for the most are fab orange, red essential and berry much. These colours are absolutely beautiful!!

They are very creamy and extremely pigmented. You only need to do one application and you're good to go. They do apply evenly but I find that you get the best results by prepping your lips for application. So exfoliate your lips and apply a small amount of lip balm and you'll be left with a flawless finish.

They do tend to smudge so just be weary when your hand is near your mouth because your lip colour will smudge/transfer. But other than that, these lip pencils are amazing. The quality is amazing given then price so I highly recommend these if you want beautifully coloured lips without having to sell your soul.

I don't own too many Maybelline products but I took a chance with these Lip Pencils, and I am happy I did. These particular lip pencils are quite similar in looks as others in the market,and they do look nice. you can easily see the colour as it is on the end of the pencil. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I dont really enjoy matte lips products as I find them quite drying, so with that in mind I did a lip scrub first then applied a lip balm. I found applying this was easy as the formula is lovely and creamy and it went on smoothly and evenly. I found the colour was well pigmented and stayed as long, if not longer than my usual lippy which pleased me,as there are times at work I get busy and dont always get time to check myself. I bought Fab orange for my power days and I use Nude perfect for my low key days. These are something that I would be happy to buy again and try different colours.

I love this and its so easy to apply, works best when sharpened as it makes the arches in the lip easy to define!!! The colour has great pigment and lasts a few hours. The only downfall is that once it needs sharpening its not always a convenient time or location when needed. But still a great lipstick.

These pencils had been non-stop raved about across ye old beauty community so I picked this pencil up in the colour Nude Perfection, because I'm mainstream like that. I loved the fact that they were so affordable! Huge perk.

When I first applied this product I loved the colour, which is that very 'on trend' brown-toned nude. The formula is ultra creamy so doesn't dry out the lips, impressively opaque, they smell delicious and leave a satin velvet finish on the lips (hence the name).

I was totally prepared for this pencil to become my staple lip product, but unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way. Every time I used this product I would get that dreaded rim lining the inner rim of my lips, every time! I tried wearing it with a lip liner and on top of other lippys, but nothing could keep that unsightly rim at bay! I have since gifted it to a friend, who loves it, so it obviously works for people that aren't me, haha.

They are an adorable sized product, perfect for the purse as they really aren't much bigger than a lippy. But obviously you have to sharpen these, which you do need a larger sized sharpener for - something to keep in my mind! I do recommend giving them a go, because if they work for you, they're a fantastic investment!
