Asuka’s Mystical Elegant Lip Brush Pen for Your Lips Vegan Lip Conditioner Review and Swatches

Good morning world!

Today I’m all about Asuka’s Mystical Elegant Lip Brush Pen. I’m sporting some right now and loving how it makes my pout red and delicious looking.

Jump ahead for the word!

The Muse recently re-introduced you to the world of Beautiful Twists on Etsy and I’m slowly following up with some product reviews this week, I hope you’ll find them interesting.

I love Stila Cherry Crush and Stilla Pomegranate Crush so of course when I seen Ella Dean’s Lip Brush Pen it looked pretty much like a great dupe and only $5.49, yay for savings!

What Ella says about it:

Asuka’s Mystical Lip Blush Pen leaves lips glowing & glossy with a slight au natural cherry juice tint to it, that glides on your lips by simply twisting the bottom & applying it onto lips with the elegant brush.

It’s 99% au natural moisturizing alternative to store brand glossy tinted lip glosses that leave your lips all dried out with harsh ingredients.

Asuka (meaning ‘scent of tomorrow’ in Japanese) lives in groovy Spookieville. The meaning of her name is the story of her life…she gets inspired by scents & writes stories with her mystical pen. The stories magically come true the next day. Asuka writes stories about kissing her true love under a beautifully scented cherry blossom tree, sipping on comforting scented spiced tea on the moon & riding dragons while eating deliciously scented pie.

Spiced Cherry Blossom Story Moon Tea (a juicy cherry scent mixed with a soothing sassy spice tea scent & topped off with a comforting moon inspired scent).

Made with extremely Moisturizing, 99% Au Natural, Vegan Friendly Ingredients: candelilla wax, sweet almond oil, olive oil, aloe vera oil, olive butter, safflower oil, vitamin e, alkanet root powder, essential oils, flavor oils & weirdness

My experience with the lip pen was pretty interesting. So far I really like it but it does have a sightly odd texture. It’s easy to apply in the click pen and it does dye lips a natural, fresh cherry red that’s very subtle and lovely. The thing I love about it is the fact the finish is very natural as opposed to harsh and weird looking, it’s basically my lip color but prettier.

The formula is as awesome as most of the lip conditioners at Ella’s shops. It’s very moisturizing, very wet and glossy, and the natural cherry finish is flattering.

The strange thing about the formula is it’s slightly lumpy (you can see it in my swatch pics). I’m not sure what makes it like that but it has tiny little lumps. This isn’t a big deal as the dissolve on contact with your lips but it’s slightly weird when you aren’t expecting it during application.

Overall, for the price I’d say it’s a winner especially if you’re not wanting to dish out $18 or more for a lip stain or you happen to be vegan friendly when it comes to your makeup. Loves it. Great price, great product, cute packaging too!
