When I read this description of the pencils "the new pencils impart a non-sticky luminosity to lips, while featuring a lightweight formula enriched with Vitamin E" I immediately thought of something I had recently bought, that sounded very similar. Which was this....
The Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil by Hard Candy
I got this recently at Walmart when I was fruitlessly searching for Glamoflauge. These caught my eye and I decided to try one. I got the one in shade 240 'beauty'.
If you look on the Hard Candy website you will see these come in 15 different shades. I didn't see 15 of them at my Walmart, but they did have at least 6 or 7 different ones there. They are about the same size as the NYX jumbo pencils, so you will need to keep that in mind for sharpening them.
Anyway, I would describe this as a cross between a lip liner, lip gloss and lip balm. They go on creamy smooth, and feel so moisturizing on my lips. Not at all sticky, to me it feels almost like a tinted lip balm but with more of a color payoff. Super easy to apply & lasts as long as any similar product on me.
The color of this pencil isn't showing up as vibrant in these pictures, it's actually a much deeper pink. I think if you wanted a product like the NARS pencil, but didn't want to shell out the money you might want to try this Hard Candy pencil first. I bought mine for under $8CAD, which is a big savings!
Has anyone else tried these? What are your thoughts?
I love the color of your lip liner. I haven't tried any Hard Candy products yet, we just got them at Walmart but they don't offer the whole line. I've heard great things about their concealer but I can't find it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie! Unfortunately us Canadians don't get the same selection as those in the States, so far Glamoflauge isn't available in Canada..at least that I've found. Such a bummer.
ReplyDeletewow, those look great! i want to try out the hard candy ones, definitely would be a great savings if they are comparable :D

I actually just bought one over the weekend in glamazon. I was torn between that and beauty! I have been testing it before I do a post on it :)
ReplyDeleteAmber - Yay, I'm excited to hear your thoughts. On the website they have a lighter pink one I think it's called cupcake. It looks so pretty but I didn't see that at my Walmart.
ReplyDeleteVonnie - For such an affordable price I think they are definitely worth a shot :)
ReplyDeleteI actually have one of these (in a hot coral colour) and love the way it feels on my lips. I would never have thought about it being a dupe for the NARS ones but you are right, I think they are a great dupe. Thanks for sharing. The colour you have is gorgeous.

Alicia - I agree, these feel so great on the lips. Today I successfully wore this pencil for about 4 hours - which is a feat for me, given how much water, coffee, etc I drink :)
ReplyDeleteI have one of these too, I haven't had a chance to write a review on it or anything but I love the feeling of it on my lips!
ReplyDeleteJulianne - I know, they are so incredibly soft & moisturizing yet it stays on..glad you love it too!
ReplyDeleteThe colors look good on your lips.
