I wish I had those gorgeous full lips that always appear on blogs for people to model their lipsticks but unfortunately I do not so therefore an wrist swatch is the best I can do..
The colour above is in Nude Perfection which is a beautiful deep pink/brown shade and looks perfect of all skin tones. I was slightly confused when I picked this up and saw that it was a 'lip pencil' because it was so chunky but it is basically just like a lipstick just slightly more creamier and a little bit thicker which I do not mind at all as it makes my lips look a bit bigger and I am definitely not somebody to complain about that (I am 'Little Miss Thin Lips'). The only negative thing that I have to say about this is that, because it is a pencil, you have to sharpen it and you lose some of the product in doing so and trying to find a sharpener that would fit was a bit of a task (I have now learned you can buy these in Wilkinsons and Claire's Accessories).
It is a matte formula but thankfully does not go on too cakey but can look very crumbly if you use this on dry lips. It does not budge for at least 4 hours but if you eat or drink, you have to top up - this lip product does not like liquid so if you are like me and like a bit of colour on your lips when you go to the gym, these products are a no-no. However, it does stay put quite well with Rimmel Lipstick Lock. You only need a small amount of the product as it is very pigmented and the colour I have (Nude Perfection) resembles Myth and Velvet Teddy by Mac. I am also absolutely pleased with how compact this is and it fits nicely into my pencil case for University (huge bonus in my eyes).
I never used to be attracted to Maybelline lipsticks when I was younger due to being obsessed with Rimmel but I definitely think they have re-formulated their products as they are a lot better since I last tried them and can not wait to try some more lip products from them!
