Bobbi Brown Art Stick Review

It is more of a dry formula but still goes on very smooth. They are pigmented and I love the shade range! I have a few and they last a very long time :)

I received this lip pencil as a gift and, while I absolutely love the product (colour and quality are amazing!), for the price, I would be a bit hesitant about buying it. There are much cheaper lip products which are almost as good and a bit more practical.

To be fair, it is hands down, my favourite current lip accessory but, with the size, if you don't have the specialized sharpener to go with it, it's too large for a normal makeup sharpener. It seems a little excessive to have a sharpener specifically for one pencil...

However, the colour (Rose Brown) is beautiful and lasts a lot longer than the majority of lip products I have. It's not too bold, looks very soft and natural, and feels amazing.

This is very creamy with no noticeable scent aside from a faint, "lipstick" smell. I got it in a red-orange colour. It comes with a big sharpener. The formula is nice and long-wearing, however it doesn't last through meals. I also noticed slight feathering which defeats the purpose of it being a 2 in 1 product with a liner. The colour I got (Sunset Orange) isn't too great against my skintone. It is too orangey and had the effect of making my teeth look yellow.

Great product! A Bobbi Brown makeup artist suggested I try this, and I love it. Sutble colour, easy to apply, nourishing too - great quality.

I really love the pop of color these art sticks bring to my life(I have Harlow Red and Electric Pink). They are very easy and smooth to apply, and last considerably long too. They seem to be great for traveling around with and the lid does pop off or split from the continual usage of the product. The only down side is that I've got to sharpen it, but I will happily put up with that.

I don't normally gravitate towards "chunky" pencils especially those that claim to offer both lipstick and lip liner.  However after trying this on instore I closed my eyes to the awful price and can happily say that I use this more often than I thought I would.

These art sticks are what I would call "jumbo" making NYX Jumbo Pencils look somewhat slim.  Each pencil comes with a special 'jumbo' sharpener and even though I'm all for products being sold with all their accessories I think it's excessive in the sense that if you were to buy 3 art sticks what would you possibly need with 3 jumbo sharpeners?

When you first use the art stick the tip is nicely pointed so you're able to define your lips but that's as far as it goes.  No amount of sharpening is going to bring back that pointed tip - you're left to make do with a flat top.   

I have the shade Bright Raspberry which is a solid fuschia pink and I swear it looks just like lipstick.  I don't think this product is for the timid because one swipe almost gives you full opacity.  If you want to apply this sheer your best bet is to use a small brush; wipe the excess off and then apply .   What I love most about this product is the creamy texture - there is no tugging just smooth application with amazing pigmentation. It leaves me with a semi-matte finish and stays on my lips for 4 hours before I have to retouch.  

Unfortunately this product bleeds which doesn't surprise me because of the creamy texture but given the price I would have thought that this would have been considered when creating it.  I notice slight feathering after an hour so I use a NYX lip liner which helps keep the product in place for longer.   

I really like this art stick but not enough to repurchase or to purchase a different shade.  We get 5.6g of product so I'm wondering just how far up the stick there is product so for me this will be my last $50 investment on art sticks.
