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.

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).

Very nice, but won't last long as you have to keep sharpening it.

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.
