Hello gorgeous!
You would have seen these beauties pop up quite a bit on your Instagram feed. The Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencils are a new release and are in stores now! I picked up 2 at the Priceline 40% off makeup sale and recently picked up a third lip pencil which is a preview into my thoughts…
With the swatches below all are without a lip liner.
- Nude Perfection
- Fab Orange
- Light It Up
Overall Thoughts:
- Retails at $9.99 however you can pick them up on sale at Priceline, Coles etc….
- The three I own all have a satin finish on the lips
- Easy and smooth to apply
- Relatively long lasting and has a staining effect
- Really hydrating on the lips
- Great colour selection
- The only down side is with the bright colours, they bleed a bit after wear, however it’s not noticeable from far away
- I’ve tried them with a lip liner and have had no issues
For $9.99 you can’t go wrong! The lip pencils are comparable to the NARS Velvet Lip Pencils, which I have 2 of. I find the NARS pencils are a lot drier on the lips, so Maybelline you’ve definitely won this battle!

All shades look great on you! I haven’t tried those yet because I haven’t really found the shade that I like enough to buy.

That’s fair enough, I’m sure more shades will be released. Some of the pink shades look too baby pink so I passed on them. The berry shades look nice for winter, but I have too many. Also I checked out your blog and love it! R x

Are you able to do a comparison post between the Nars and Maybelline? I like the look of this pencils, and I’ve been curious about them for the last couple of weeks.

Hi Leah, that’s a great idea! I won’t have time to do a full review on the blog before I go away to Hawaii, but I can do a quick on on instagram in the coming days. Make sure to follow me @rachelbeautystyle xx
