Kiko Smart Fusion Lip Pencil 533 Light Rosy Brown

I was in Seiersberg in Austria a while ago and I had to go to the Kiko store, because we don't have one in our small country. I always think about what to get and when I'm actually there I get overwhelmed and I don't know what to pick. I have heard the lip pencils are very good and since they are only 2,50€ I quickly grabbed one. I didn't really bother so much with the shade, I just got a darker nude, which turned out to be just a perfect colour that I have been searching for. Kiko has a few of ranges of lip liners, I got the Smart Fusion one, which I think it's the cheapest out of all others.

The Smart Fusion Lip Pencil is black with silver writing and it has a black plastic cap. It is a normal lip pencil that you have to sharpen yourself. On the top of the pencil, you can see the shade of it, so if have them stored in a cup or a mug, you can quickly pick the shade you want. For 2,50€ you get 0,9g of product.

I like the formula, it's creamy, it just glides on the lips and you can easily apply it precisely around the edges. I don't use it just as a lip liner, I mostly use it all over my lips on its own, because it's well pigmented. It doesn't feel very comfortable on the lips, I can definitely feel it when I'm wearing it. It's straight matte and would even say it's quite drying. If you don't prepare your lips properly, it does emphasize dry patches, settles into the lines and it looks dry. So be sure to give your lips a good peeling and nourishing before. It's not long lasting, it lasts up to 3 hours, if you don't eat, but then you will need to reapply it. 

There is 36 shades in the Smart Fusion line. My shade is my absolute favourite, it's number 533 and it's called Light Rosy Brown. It is a perfect medium nude brown colour, with a bit of a rose undertone. I have been searching for a shade like this, because I find they suit my skin tone very well.

Even though the formula is very good and creamy, I don't find it very comfortable. I still wear it lots, because I love the shade. Ever since the weather got colder my lips are very dry, so maybe that's why I don't like it as I thought I would. I still want to try some more shades, 531 Chocolate and 534 Chestnut look gorgeous and are on my to-buy list when I go to Austria again.
