For summer I want something on my lips that’s sheer and easy-to wear with a nice dewy sheen. I am definitely not a lip gloss person as I hate the gloopy feel of them on my lips, the way my hair always seems to get stuck in it… So the Soap & Glory Gloss Sticks (£8 each) are pretty much my perfect alternative.
I have two gorgeous shades to show you: Nudist* and Raplumzel,
which are both pretty much as advertised! Nudist is a lovely, subtle warm nude
shade whereas Raplumzel is a sort of bitten redcurrant colour. Whilst they are
sheer they do offer a nice level of colour pay-off for the Summer glossy lip
look.
The obvious thing to compare these twist-up lip crayons to
are the Clinique Chubby Sticks, however I definitely think the formula of these
is a little different. These are definitely more of a high-shine gloss as
opposed to simply being a balm-like sheer lip colour. I actually find they last quite nicely on the lips. You won’t get the full-on glossiness for more
than a couple of hours (especially when eating and drinking) however the colour
stays behind quite nicely for another hour or two. Overall though it’s the kind
of product I expect to reapply throughout the day and generally I don’t mind
this as the crayon form of this product makes it effortless.
I really like this product and will definitely be getting my
hands on a few more shades as I think they’re the perfect minimal effort subtle
lip colour for on holiday.
Are you a fan of sheer lip crayons for this time of year?

These two shades are gorgeous on you and I can't even decide which one I love best. I may need to try both at some point. Thanks for sharing...xx
ReplyDeleteI love lip products that are balm consistency and easy to apply :)
ReplyDeleteThis resembles the clinique chubby sticks like you said but the price is definitley much more reasonable~
I always raves about the quality of S&G products so these lip crayons are worth a try for me!
Great review and watches! Hope you have a lovely day ♥

They both look like great shades, perfect for summer. I'm the same as you, I can't stand the feel of lip gloss.

I don't know what it is about glossy balms, but they are not something that ever works for me. I can wear them just for a few minutes to an hour tops, then I feel uncomfortable, like they will smear all over my face... Shame because these shades are gorgeous!

Oops, didn't mean for that to go twice!
DeleteI hae Raplumzel and Plum Jam and I love them. They're really nice for summer as they feel quite light on the lips, and the colour range, although limited, has some really nice shades!

I like the look of the shades, but find they may be too sheer for me.
