ILIA - Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon | Hydrate, Plump, Smooth, Strengthen | Long Lasting up to 12-Hours, Bleed-Resistant, Soft-Matte | Barrier-Building, Non-Toxic, Cruelty-Free (Gala)

Another winner from Ilia. This saturated color hydrating lip crayon is so versatile and has great staying power. The matte finish is great on its own, but its superpower is being the base for the blend of several colors/products (I like to customize). Keeps everything in place longer and harmonizes with other lip products opening up a whole world of lip color creation. Looks better after several hours of wear than lots of long-last lip color. Fades in a way that looks more subtle — less old lady blotchy — than matte color usually offers. Add lip balm over it at the end of the day to bring a more subtle final life to it. After first applying it, let it sit for a couple minutes to melt into your lips and open up the color. Worth the price for solid hydration, great coverage, and smudge resistance after it sets. Easy application and forgiving for first minute, letting you clean up your lines before it clings to the skin.

I love this lipstick. Ilia is one of my favourite brands and this lipstick is great, creamy, hudrating and stays long even when I drink water. It is a nice mauve colour with some terracotta tones. Super easy to apply and to store in your purse.

Gorgeous red! Creamy and stays on.

Love the color. Doesn’t stay on super long, but love that it has clean ingredients and it’s moisturizing

I love this lip crayon and I love it. It’s clean ingredients. I will say it’s been hard to sharpen without the proper sharpener! The color is amazing. It’s almost a little bit very good for a blonde or cooler tones. I love to use it all over my lips and then add some lip balm over to blend - so pretty

I actually love the product itself, and the color is fantastic. It’s soft, and although it doesn’t stay on long, I still enjoy it. However, the lid consistently comes off, leaving my purse a mess.

This lip crayon has a nice smooth texture. The color is muted yet has some richness and depth. The texture feels good and blends well. I either line with it or use it on all of my lips with a little clear gloss on top. It wears well and does not settle in dry lines (I am over 50).

I went to purchase this originally from Sephora. I wanted something moisturizing and I wanted a specific color..Banquette. I just did not know how it would look on my face. Someone from Sephora told me that another brand works better and encouraged another color (more orangey, to enhance my warm face.) I was SO UNHAPPY with it. It was drying and way too matte, like colored chalk on your lips. So I took the gamble and ordered it through Amazon. I love the crayon concept, for me it is easier to carry around. The color is gorgeous! It glides nice and is not too matte. AND it is moisturizing. And it makes me feel lovely, no thin lips for me! I hope this review helps!
