[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] Monika Blunder is launching new Kissen Lush Lipstick Crayons on 15th June. The wait has been worth it, and surprisingly, all three new shades complement my tone perfectly! There are already six of these color-packed pens, which were introduced after the successful launch of her Blunder Cover Foundation/Concealer (HERE).

These crayons made me reflect on all the beauty tutorials I’ve encountered (and written) on how to apply lipstick ‘perfectly’ – the extensive process of lining, moisturizing, layering, blotting, reapplying, blotting again, and so on. It seemed like we had endless time to craft a precise lip look! I appreciate products that acknowledge our busy lives and simplify our beauty routines.

Introducing Valentina – a deep neutral shade that initially appeared too deep but surprisingly suits my skin tone elegantly.

Meet Matilda – this shade, which initially seemed too brown and deep for me, actually transforms into a vibrant orange-toned red when applied. A note to remember is that the hues might appear different on the crayon compared to when worn on the lips. Swatching is key!

And my personal favorite – Charlotte! It’s a slightly pinkish red, a bright and playful shade that enhances summer skin tones. Infused with jojoba seed oil, bacuri seed butter, shea butter, and squalane, the formula is rich in oils to nourish and soften the lips. The satin finish strikes a balance between glossy and matte, offering a sophisticated look.

If you enjoy sneak peeks behind the scenes, I missed the launch event but Monika thoughtfully sent me a hand-written note along with the Kissen Crayons. It was a delightful surprise, highlighting the care and attention to detail, which is rare. Each crayon is priced at £28 and will be available for purchase from Space NK or Cult Beauty. Don’t miss out on adding these to your collection!
