Review: No7 Poppy King Lip Crayon Raindrops Collection Singing

Even though I've heard about Poppy King quite some time ago, I've recently met her products. When I listen or read her interviews she says that she designed her lipstick line because she couldn't find lipsticks she liked on the market. When I put on the lip crayon very first time, I realised what Poppy King means by that sentence.

I always like to try new designs, textures or colours from lipstick world. The lip crayon is very practical and easy to apply from the pencil. Raindrops Collection is best described by Poppy King as a selection of bright, happy colours. Singing is one of those happy colours which is a bright fuschia pink. It's pigmented and it gives sheer finish.

Singing is moisturising and silky. It is non-drying and lasts up to 5 hours. It transfers, however lasts through a cup of coffee. It does not have a smell or taste which makes it very comfortable to wear. The greatest thing about Poppy King's lip crayon (and also lipstick) is that they are buildable. You can build the colour and coverage layer by layer without being flaky. 

I am very glad to finally meet Poppy King's lip pencils. They give you easy and smooth application with the feeling of moisturised and full lips.

Review: Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10

Since I mentioned about Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10 in my posts before, I thought a review would be good. I've already said how much I like Shiseido products and this lip crayon is no exception. 

Designed as a pencil that twists out easily and doesn't need sharpening, Shiseido's Automatic Lip Crayon is very practical for everyday use. It defines lip contour easily and precisely to desired shape. To start from the basics, Lip Crayon is made in Japan and its net weight is 1.5 grams/0.05 oz. I don’t notice any taste while I wear Lip Crayon. There is a light scent I smell in the package but doesn't bother at all. 

Lip Crayon LC10 is a blue toned red and very rich in colour. It gives a good coverage even with light touches and it's also buildable and blendable. The texture is so soft that it allows you to use it as a lipstick too and it doesn't feel heavy. It goes on smoothly, evenly and stays put. It never dries out lips or leaves lips feathery. It really does the job of not letting your lipstick bleed. The most stunning thing about this product is its longevity. It's unbelievably long lasting (7-8 hours on my lips) so if you don't plan to use it with a hours lasting lipstick, then I recommend you to use this liner all over the lips to prevent framed lips without lip colour look.  

To summarize, I describe this lip crayon as a long, slim lipstick with lip liner features. It has a smooth texture, easily applied, long lasting and very practical to use and carry around. I know it's on the expensive side but definitely worth it. My score for this brilliant product is 10/10.

Disclaimer: This product was purchased by the reviewer.

Since Shiseido The Makeup Automatic Lip Crayon LC10 is pretty long-lasting,
I usually prefer to apply it all over my lips before wearing my lipstick.
