Kate Spade Holiday Lip Crayon Set Review & Swatches
Celebrate the Holidays with a cute selection of Kate Spade Lip Crayons! The Kate Spade Holiday Lip Crayon Set ($38) comes with three full size Kate Spade Lip Crayons in a box ready for gifting (or keeping for yourself).
Take a peek!
In 2011, Kate Spade launched her first official lipstick and since that time has ventured into other beauty offerings like these chubby lip pencils! The really great thing about this set is Kate Spade New York partnered with lipstick queen, Poppy King to create this line of innovative lip crayons. Considering how legendary the Lipstick Queen’s Chinatown Glossy Pencils are I was expecting something wonderful from these and let’s face it Poppy is the pioneer of chubby lip pencils as she launched one of the first chubby lip pencils on the market and that’s prior to Clinique and a host of other brands who are doing them lately!
Kate Spade actually launched this very cute collection last Holiday season too but I didn’t get my hands on it! It comes in a cute crayon box shaped box with a flip top that reveals the pencils inside. The box is completely reusable to store or travel with the pencils in as it is a heavy duty cardboard. It kinda reminds me of a mini box of crayons! Each pencil weights in at 0.08 oz which is full size. These are a twist up design so no sharpener is needed.
Shades Include:
- Pink Fizz
- Champagne
- Pretty Plum
Champagne, Pink Fizz, Pretty Plum
All three shades are a frost finish with a soft creamy texture that glides easily onto lips. They aren’t terribly hydrating but they don’t leave lips feeling dry while worn but they don’t add any moisture either. They are quite pigmented and apply either sheer or can be built up to full opacity in two applications. I was a little scared of the frostiness but they actually wear quite well without looking too mod. For a chubby pencil formula they have an impressive wear time of around four to five hours without fading. Upon fading they do leave a slight staining effect behind. Color doesn’t migrate or feather on my drier lips and stays where I apply it.
