Sheer Gloss Lip Crayons by Face of Australia

It seems like there's a fad going around recently - crayon shaped lip glosses/balms.

Maybe it's because it sparks the little child inside us - remember those days when you were young and all you did was draw on sketchbooks with fat crayons? I sure do :P

So I've been seeing all these ads around the city promoting the Clinique "Chubby Sticks" in the shape of a thick crayon and thought "oooooh cute!". Nars and Boobi Brown also have similar lip crayons as well.

Anyways, today I strolled into Priceline (as I always do) and ventured towards the hidden back section that nobody seems to go to and found these "Sheer Glosses" in the Face of Australia stand...and they look just like...thick crayons!! Super cute!



The glosses come in a pack of 3 and have cute names as well - Macaron, Cupcake and Sundae.





When you put them on, the texture is actually much lighter than you'd expect...maybe it's because I had the texture of a real crayon on my mind when I tried it on hehe.  You can see it by the sheerness of the texture as applied on the hand below:



My favourite colour is Macaron (just like the food hehe)



Cupcake is a cute pink, and sundae is a very classy mocha colour. As all of the colours are rather sheer, you could probably wear all of them on any occasion!  I'm planning to wear them to work :)





The pens have a wind up applicator so that you never actually have to "sharpen" these babies!

And the best thing is - it only cost $14.95 for the pack of 3 at Priceline! (Chubby Sticks cost $35 for one!)

So if you're looking for a budget alternative to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, why not try these? :)
