PBJ Smoothie Stick Review & Swtaches
Hello Everyone,
Today
I am reviewing PBJ Smoothie Stick for you guys. I got this lip crayon in my
June Glossybox. I have never heard of this brand before but that’s why I like
these beauty subscription boxes because you get to try so many products from different
brands. So let’s see how this one fared out.
Product Description:
Our PBJ Smoothie Stick is an ode to our favourite healthy smoothie, Peanut
Butter Jelly. We like ours with Almond Butter instead for a healthier hit of
antioxidants and magnesium. The PBJ Smoothie Stick is a creamy and hydrating
lip treatment which delivers moisturising, rich colour.
Price: 13.20 € / 14.95 USD
Performance: PBJ Smoothie Stick is
a Creamy Lip Crayon with twist up mechanism. I am not sure what shade this is
exactly as it is nowhere mentioned on the product and neither is it mentioned
on the list that comes in Glossybox. I have looked online for product
info/swatches and I think it is Guava Nice Day. Guava Nice Day is a pretty
berry pink shade which IMO will suit most skin tones. I thought that it will be
a sheer, balmy type of a lip product but I was so surprised by this product.
Like pleasantly surprised, this is a full on lipstick and has the nicest
formula, feels really velvety smooth and just glides
on your lips. No pulling or tugging at all. Finish of this is something I am really impressed with because it has matte finish but it feels so moisturising on
the lips. It is so different from the usual matte lipstick that sucks the life
out of your lips. I have dry lips and I stay clear of matte lip product but
this feels so comfortable on the lips and doesn’t dry them out further. It
doesn't settle into the lip lines or accentuate them. Very pigmented
and the opacity of this is such that it can cover pigmented or discoloured
lips. It is not
transfer or kiss proof but staying power is decent. It can last easily for 5 -6
hours with slight fading in the middle and it can withstand a meal and is not
completely wiped off but you definitely need to touch it up throughout the day.
If you use a lip liner then the wear time definitely improves. The only point
of concerns with this is: One, the fragrance, it has a strong fruity scent. Personally
I don’t mind it and I don’t sense it once I have applied it. But if you don’t
like scented stuff then it could be an issue for you. Second, the plastic cap is too flimsy.
The Good:
- Creamy and smooth
- Love the matte finish
- Moisturising
- Pretty shade
- Doesn't settle into fine lines.
- Decent staying power
- Covers pigmented or
discoloured lips
The Bad:
- Availability
- Fragrance might be a concern for some.
I really
wanted to wear matte lips but most of them are drying and that’s why I stayed
clear of them. But finally with this product I can sport a matte look. Plus the
colour, formula and pigmentation of this is great. I really liked it and I am
happy I got to try it.
Hope you
