Something tells me Face of Australia might reconsider selling these babies as a limited edition release. I first spotted FOA’s Sheer Gloss Lip Crayons (set of three) at my local Priceline last week; I was really there to check out Revlon’s Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain, alas, they haven’t been shipped to Australia yet. However, I had stars in my eyes when I fixed my gaze on these. And the price isn’t too shabby either.
Always on the pursuit for the next best thing while maintaining some sort of grasp on my purse strings, dupes are definitely a good thing in my book. Imitation is considered to be the sincerest form of flattery – for lip crayons it started with Clinique’s Chubby Stick, then Tarte came a’knocking with Lipsurgence lip tint and now Revlon’s coming to the party too. The four of these options are wind up, goof-proof and super easy to use – but, there’s always a but, they vary in price. Chubby Sticks sell for a whopping $35 AUS / $16 USD, Tarte sells their version for $24 USD (I’m guessing they’d hover around the same price as Clinique’s if they were to be sold here in Aus.) and Revlon’s latest release goes for $8ish USD.
How did Face of Australia’s stack up? While I can only compare based on my personal experience and after reading plenty of other bloggers’ reviews for the rest – pretty darn well. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the stay power.
Swatches- Cupcake,Macaron and Sundae.

Overall score
8 out of 10
i would recommed this for a makeup beginner or someone who is younger as it isnt as pigmented as a lipstick and dosnt last for a long time, other than that i love the texture and packaging:)
