What say you?


Ooh I’d love to try Happy Days and Baroque!
Oh my god, those are *pencils*?! But they look so… glossy! And perfect! And glossy! (& did we mention, glossy?)
I think I’m in love with them already :s
I really like the look of Baroque!
What are you doing to me, Karen, with all these swatches of gloss pencils and Rouge Coco Shine? I want them ALL! That’s 24 lip products. Well, I guess you are not at fault. 🙂 I love you and all your awesome blogging.
After reading your review, I thought that all pencils were lightly pigmented. So I’m happy this is not the case for the other colors.
You could include this picture in the original review, maybe?
I have my eyes set on Happy Days and Baroque; the look so gorgeous!
I like New Lover 🙂
I picked up Baroque last week and loooove it! So gorgeous on
My favorite is Happy Days!! Thanks Karen!
I’m eyeing Happy Days & New Lover. Hard belive this much oowey gooey gloss can come from a pencil!!
Hopi and Happy days look amazing! How can a pencil be a gloss? I am dying to try them out, they are not available here yet
They’re really soft and feel just like gloss on the lips. It’s very cool what they did with the texture — I just wish they included a sharpener!
I am in love with these velvet glosses. Nars has done it again! I recently purchased Baroque. Its a berry red, and I think Misbehave would go wonderfully with it! Maybe I am just a sucker for packaging and its in pencil form, but I am loving these!
Just bought 2 of these today and they are awesome! They go on so smoothly, and have a nice gloss but stay on for a long time. It’s not an ultra glossy finish, but the perfect mix of a lipstick and a gloss. The application is what sold me — goes on so nicely! I got the Hopi for every day and Baroque for night (can work during the day too, just put less on).
Ok question — is there any way to “roll” these up, like you would with eyeliner? I have had 2 of these for about 2 weeks, love them so much so use them a lot, and I am almost to the nub of one of them. If they only last a month or so, the $24 price tag is very not worth it.
