I don't think beauty boxes offer enough make up samples so I'm always very excited to see them included. When I opened my August Birchbox I was extremely pleased to see this Laqa & Co Lil Lip Pencil. The brand is new to me but I couldn't wait to try it and honestly this hasn't been off my lips since I first wore it on Saturday.
It's the first time I've tried a pencil/crayon type lipstick and I actually found it much easier to apply than the traditional lipstick bullet. The formula is highly pigmented with a lovely creamy texture and the colour, Ring Of Fire, is a gorgeous pink toned red which I just love. I'm not used to wearing such bright colours but, rather than make me feel self conscious, it does make me feel a little bit fabulous! I can easily get a good 4 or 5 hours wear out of this before needing to reapply. The only downside to it is that I find it can dry out my lips a little so I have to pay extra attention to moisturising and exfoliating my lips before application.
The full sized Fat Lip Pencil is £14.95 which I would be happy to pay for the quality. I'm really pleased to have discovered this brand and I'll definitely be adding more of these to my make up collection. I have a feeling the deep red Bossy Boots will be my next purchase.
