I think these are meant to be a dupe for the Nars velvet matte lip pencil, but I've never tried them so I can't really compare them apart from price. These cost a mere £4.99 in comparison to £17.50 from Nars. 

The consistency of this was fairly creamy although a little drying on the lips. I would advise using a lip balm before applying it, it still dries matte it just means your lips feel a bit more hydrated. The colour is super pigmented, but does bleed a tiny bit, a lip pencil would be good to stop this. They have a wide range of colours from nudes to brights and a few with shimmer so there's something there for everybody.

The packaging is fine, I'm a little concerned about the plastic lid spilling or pushing down on the pencil itself, but for the moment it's fine. Also I need to invest in a proper sharpener as it is a proper pencil, which sort of concerns me as I'll end up loosing half the product in the sharpenings. If anyone has any idea on how to stop/save these bits, please let me know!

As you can see from the swatches below, Berry Much is a really deep plummy colour perfect for winter, and it looks great sheered out as well if you not into bold lips.

That's all for this review, overall so far I'm really liking it! It lasts a long time and I love the matte finish and the colour. Hopefully get my hands on some of the other colours soon!

Have you tried these new velvet lip pencils?

Thanking you,

Naomi
