Hello!
As always I post my favorite product of the month around this time. The product that stole my heart this month is NYC's Twistable Intense Lip Color. I found mine at my local rite aid for $2.99 each. To see a full review click
here. (Not my favorite post)
I know I had a lipstick as my favorite not too long ago but I just can't help myself. For some reason I have been lusting after lip products this last month and these lip crayons helped feed my addiction. They apply so tastefully and silky smooth. The intense color claim? Oh my goodness NYC seriously packed a punch with these. They deliver highly pigmented swatches on my lips(for lip crayons). The one thing I don't like about them is the staying power but I love applying them so much that I don't even care. The smell is amazing and I'm pretty impressed with myself for not eating them. Not that I would because that would be weird... But if I had to pick a lip product to eat this one would be it.
Ok, enough with the makeup junkie talk.

Packaging
I love the Twistable idea. I hate having to sharpen things and I don't take the time to do it. The coloring on the package is very accurate with the swatches of each shade. So it's very easy to find your perfect color when you search for your desired shade. The lid also snaps on securely and I haven't had any problems with the product breaking off of the tube. The only con is the print rubs off over time. Which, I dont mind that much because the color of the shade is on a sticker at the bottom of the tube.

Texture/finish/pigmentation
The texture is very smooth and creamy. If you have dry lips then you will love, love,love these lip crayons! They're so moisturizing and glossy. I haven't experienced any problems with them while my lips are chapped. Like I said before, the pigmentation is superb. I was really impressed after I bought these for only $2.99. I should probably go back to Rite Aid and pick up the rest of the collection.
Lasting power
Yes, they could last longer but I'm not the kind of person that worries about that kind of stuff all of the time. Most days I like to keep it simple but still glamorous and these lip crayons are the perfect fit. Plus, it doesn't feel like a chore when I reapply them. I utterly enjoy it.

Why did I pick the NYC Twistable Intense Lip Color as my All-star winner?
This month has been really busy for me. When I'm in a rush I prefer just swiping pigmented colors across my lips that don't take a lot of my precious time. I gotta tell you that these are the perfect thing for that moment hat your heading out the door. Sure, they don't last forever but they last long enough for me. Plus, the application process is so fun and easy. And the smell is right up there with my Milani lipsticks. I just can't can't enough! The going the really won me over is the price! $2.99 is such a steal and I know that's a winner in anyone's book.
Overall, I think everyone should try them. Well unless you don't like lip crayons. Of course they won't be as long-lasting or as pigmented as some lipsticks but they're not lipsticks. I think they're amazing lip crayons for the price. They pigmentation is totally there, the smell is divine, the price range is within everyone's spending limits and the packaging is adorable. So, don't wait any longer. Go out and pick one up!
