Swatched: The Color Workshop Lip Crayons & Gloss

Jumbo Lip Pencils have become the next big thing in the beauty world. Revlon, Clinique, Nars, Covergirl, etc...they all have their versions. I picked up this Jumbo Lip Pencil set from The Color Workshop on Boxing Day at Walmart for only $4.50! It comes with 5 pencils and 2 lip glosses in an assortment pinks and reds and one purple.

I really didn't have very high hopes about the quality of these pencils because they are not from a high quality brand. However, the colour payoff is impressive and they stay on the lips for such a long time. The pencils are sorta glossy/sorta matte and the glosses are smooth and non-sticky. There are no names on these products, so I photographed them in the same order as the swatches.

I am really tempted now to run out and buy some other brands jumbo lip crayons, but that will have to wait until my no-buy is done. I would love to know which brands and colours of lip crayons are your favourite. Leave them in a comment below so I can add them to my Buy Later List.

UPDATE - Since writing this post I have seen these sets on Sale at multiple Shoppers Drug Marts for $4.99.

These are swatches of the 2 glosses that came with the kit.

  1. Ooo I really want to see what the purple one looks like on! it doesn't look like it would end up being too pigmented.

    1. On the lips it looks like a light lilac. Kinda like Revlon lip butter in gumdrop

    1. If I had to pick one it would be the darker of the two reds. It leaves a really nice stain on the lips for hours after. My least favourite is the purple. Although it is a really nice and wearable colour I just think that lilac lip products dont go well with my skin tone.
