Unique Color, Unique Product
First of all, I have to say that I was more than a bit skeptical about purchasing a bright orange lip color. But I was shopping with a friend and mentioned that I had seen someone with an orange lip at work and it looked gorgeous; she berated me into trying this on. Both she and the associate at Sephora told me it looked amazing on, so I bought it figuring that I could always return it if I really hated it. But I love it! This is my go-to product/color for when I'm wanting something rather "out there" that still looks good on me. The product itself is great. It goes on very smoothly and opaquely. I can just put on one layer of this and be done. Since it's a pencil, I don't have to worry about my lipline getting all wonky (which is good, since it'd be pretty noticeable) but the size of the pencil is big enough so I don't have to go over my lip a million times. I also got about 5 or so wears out of it before I really had to sharpen, so you don't have to worry about bringing a sharpener with you. I work retail, so I'm constantly talking; I really look for staying power in my lip products. This stayed with me for about 4-5 hours, which I think is pretty good for a lipstick-esque product. Also, as this wore off, it faded pretty evenly and nicely, so I didn't look completely horrible. My only real caveat about using this product on a daily basis is the color range-- most of these colors are very dramatic, and every one that I've swatched has glitter. Not crazy, I-can't-wear-this glitter, but glitter nonetheless. I don't work in a conservative place by any means, but I don't want to wear something that I would consider to be outrageous every day. Also, these are kinda pricey. I believe I paid $20 for mine. Since I haven't found another comparable product at any price point, let alone cheaper, I'll be repurchasing Punch Drunk just for the color. I won't be picking up any others as long as they are that much.
Pros: Punch Drunk is a wholly unique, beautiful color Easy application Good staying power Fades nicely
Cons: Shades are mostly on the wild side Glittery Pricy
