Review: Yves Rocher Radiant Lip Crayon + Swatches

Yves Rocher, a french brand that creates plant based beauty products, adds 5 new lip crayons into their assortment. They are calling it the radiant lip crayon or the glossy lip pen. You can either apply one layer or build it up and create an radiant effect with it. The lip product contains karite butter (shea butter), which will keep your lips moist after application.

PACKAGING 
You don't need to sharpen these sticks. All you need to do is twist the below part and the stick will become longer. All sticks have a plastic/fruity scent to it which i'm not a fan of. Thankfully the scent is not overwhelming.

SWATCHES
In the swatches below I've applied 3 coats to make the color more visible. Here are the names from left to right: rose sorbet - tangerine intense - parfait rose clair - beige nacre - sable dore. As you can see rose sorbet, tangerine intense and sable dore are quite pigmented, while the parfait rose clair and beige nacre are not. They all have a glossy finish and feel like a lip balm rather than a lip stick.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I love the packaging of lip crayons since you don't need to sharpen them, all you need to do is twist it. It feels moist on the lips and easy to use. They are moist like lip balms and are not sticky at all. The radiant effect cannot be made with these unfortunately, the pigmentation of 3 out of the 5 sticks are ok but the other 2 aren't good. The color comes off once you eat or drink, so re-application is needed during the day.

If you are searching for a lip balm with a color, you might want to give these a try. If you are searching for a lip product with a long staying power, it's better to search for a different one.
