A twist for your lips with Revlon, Annabelle and Clinique - with swatches!

Sticks are such a convenient way to apply lip colour, especially if you can't be bothered with both a lipstick and a lipliner - you can use them to do both! Only issue with these thick pencils is finding the proper size sharpener for them - fortunately that is not an issue for any of these - they all twist up!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - $9.95 - in 12 shades: Honey, Crush, Darling, Cherish, Lovesick, Sweetheart, Smitten, Charm, Rendezvous, Romantic, Precious and Adore - a pampering balm fused with a lightweight lipstain in a smooth gel formula with a light peppermint fragrance for softer, smoother lips with the perfect flush of colour that lasts hour after hour - in a twist-up stick so no sharpening required!

My issue with stains is how drying there are so by Revlon combining a stain with a balm, you take away the whole dryness issue - not only does the colour last all day, it feels comfortable all day too - me likee!
Sweetheart
Annabelle TwistUp Retractable Lipstick Crayon - $9.95 - in 12 shades: Bubble, Fizz, Mimosa, Mai Tai, Kinky Pink, Absolute, Divine, Tease, Kiss, Flirtini, Breeze and Royale - with a hydrating, paraben and fragrance-free formula containing rapeseed oil, shea butter and omega 3 & 6 and creamy texture that feels comfortable on the lips.

The slim shape is especially handy for this line as they are highly pigmented - with a regular lipstick these would be all over my face but the crayon format makes it simple to put colour exactly where I want it!

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm - $19 - in 14 shades: Richer Raisin, Whole Lotta Honey, Mega Melon, Chunky Cherry, Woppin' Watermelon, Super Strawberry, Graped-Up, Fuller Fig, Two Ton Tomato, Pudgy Peony, Mighty Mimosa, Oversized Orange, Heaping Hazelnut, Curvy Candy, Bountiful Blush and Voluptuous Violet - contains a special blend of decadent butter, oils and antioxidants: shea butter, mango seed butter and jojoba seed oil - to help protect and pamper lips with immediate and lasting moisturization.

If you like your colour more muted, these are a great choice as they don't go on nearly as bright as they look in the tube!
