Review: be a bombshell Lip Crayon

I received this lip crayon in the shade Shameless in November in my Ipsy bag. It is so shimmery that it looks as though it has a demi-matte finish, which is quite unique. This product somehow looks darker towards the borders of my lips and lighter towards the center, which is pretty perfect. However, it does go into every crease and line, so I wouldn't want to wear it if my lips were super dry/uneven due to peeling. The pigmentation is wonderful and it only took one go around to get saturated color like I did. The shade Shameless is a deep pinky-mauve and is great for this time of year. I was impressed with how little it transferred shortly after application. It wore well, too.

I had never heard of the be a bombshell brand, so I was grateful for the chance to try one of their products. I checked out their website and their lip crayons are retailed at $14 (another reason why Ipsy is so great!) This product wore very well and left my lips pigmented even after I ate. I liked that it hardly transferred and did not dry my lips out. Unfortunately, this product can only be found on their website, and although I feel that it would last me a long time, I don't know that I would be willing to make an online purchase just for one lip product from them, especially at that price + tax + shipping and handling, but I do consider this product worth purchasing again, in different shades. Hot Damn would be great because I'm always looking for a bright red lip product that has good staying power, doesn't dry out my lips, and wears well. With all that said, I would compare this product to Neutrogena's MoistureSmooth Color Stick, which retails for $8.49. They can be found at most, if not all, drugstores and can be purchased with coupons and other discounts. So, if the price of the be a bombshell lip crayon frightens you, know that this product is high quality and will last a long time, but that Neutrogena's version can be purchased for a fraction of the price, has a couple more color options, and is of comparable quality.

I also received "The One Stick" in Sunset from this brand in my December Ipsy bag, so I'll have to give that a try soon. If you have used any of be a bombshell's other products, let me know which ones and if they were game-changers or no bueno! Maybe if I fall in love with more than one of their items I can justify making an online purchase from their website. As always, thank you so much for reading! Have a beautiful day! :)
