Beauty ad-VAIN-ture: Bench Lip Crayons
11:19:00 PMAnother lip product that was a resident in my bag was the Bench Paintbox Lip Crayon.
 |
| From top to bottom: Brick Red and Pink Passion |
I discovered this product by accident while I was searching the internet for Maybelline Lip Crayons. I didn't even know that Bench had a makeup line. I thought they only sold perfumes and lotions.
Anyway, I didn't see that many reviews about the lip crayons but the ones I read had nice things to say about this product. Also the price was really what convinced me to buy one.

I had no idea why this shade was called Brick Red when it clearly wasn't red at all. The lip crayon's color itself was brown. On the lips too, it was nude. On pictures however it doesn't look brown but a nude color with some hint of light pink.
