Lipland Lip Crayon Review (Kerrina)

I found the brand Lipland through Instagram. I love matte lip crayons, so I was delighted when I saw they had a line of retractable ones. When I went searching for reviews, all I found were reviews from people who got the products sent to them, and had affiliate codes to get a share of sales made through their endorsement. I wanted to buy 5 at once, but decided not to since I didn't know how they would perform, what with the lack of user reviews. I ordered just one in the shade Kerrina because it looked absolutely gorgeous.

The packaging is really pretty. The matte lip crayon is housed in a long gold tube. The box was wrecked a little during shipping. The lip crayon has a round top which turned flat with use. It is difficult to get definition using the flat top. I would have preferred a pointed or slanted shape.

Kerrina is a nice rusty pinky peach-nude with red tones. The colour is beautiful, and I figured if the colour looks good, I can deal with a bit of dryness.

The crayon smells incredible, like vanilla and chocolate.

And the packaging, shade and scent are where everything good about this product ends.

Burberry's Lip Velvet line boasts a matte velvet finish, smooth feel, and long wear. But does it live up to its claims?
