I have not see many reviews and swatches of these lips pencils around the web so I decide to make an order and try on out myself. I am a huge fan of the DuWop lip venoms so I was hoping these would have the same tingly feeling without being so gooey/sickie.

I ordered the shade in Fiddle Styxx, which on the website looks like a neutral brown/pink.

But upon opening it for the first time I found it to be a bright blue based-pink, which I am not a fan of at all.

So I am going to try to be objective in reviewing, but I was quiet peeved that the shade was extremely different than what it looked like on the website.

Swatches

DuWop’s lip pencil glides on very smoothly, but tugs a little at my lips. It is a semi-matte finish and upon application to the lips it does start to tingle just like the lip venoms, but not as strongly. So if you are sensitive to those or any other plumping products you might want to skip on this product. The tingle also fades faster. I do not notice any plumping on my lips. The smell is also strongly cinnamon, which I absolutely love.

Over all I am glad I took the plunge to try these new lip products by DuWop, but am upset about the color I got. I will probably make another purchase and buy the one red they make! I love the formula and texture. So if you like cinnamon and tingly feeling lip products, you should definitely try these out!
