Considering trying them for eyes and lips. Has anyone used them? Are they any good?

I like them (for lips), but they don't last long as a lipstick IYSWIM. It's more a sheer bit of colour. Lovely colours though - I have had two ton tomato and the strawberry one.

However I've also bought very similar things from other ranges, eg Rimmel do some that are pretty much the same thing. So worth having a look around at the others if you want something a bit cheaper.

(Don't know about eyes)

I have the lip.one in whole.lotta honey. I love it, and repurchased it when my first one ran out.

They are v nice for lips but clearly meant for you to reapply frequently like a lip balm rather than a highly pigmented longwear lipstick.

I love mine for everyday low maintenaince wear as no need for a mirror to reapply.

I like them too, I've got both lip and eye versions. They are quite sheer so the brighter eye colours are still wearable

I love the lip one and have tried loads of the cheaper copies but haven't found any of them are as good, although M&s autograph version is fairly close.

I like them as a lip balm but to be honest the revlon version are actually a bit better and the colour lasts longer.

They do a range of more pigmented chubby sticks now, like proper lipsticks so there's lots more choice and not just the lip balm type ones.

I have a couple, but I prefer the revlon version, cheaper, good colour selection and usually on some
Kind of offer in boots/superdrug

I like the chubby sticks for lips, I have some from the normal range and one Intense. They aren't as pigmented as a classic lipstick, but that is the point - they are supposed to be quite sheer and easy to wear. The Intense ones are more pigmented, but still not as pigmented as a normal lipstick.

I like the quality and feel of them on the lips, and that they don't smell or taste of anything. To me, they aren't moisturising - but they aren't drying either. I don't think of them as anything special, so I would happily get cheaper alternatives instead.
Sometimes magazines have had small versions as free gifts - I wouldn't be surprised if that will happen again.

Having read reviews of the eye shadow version, I haven't bought any - the reviews I read weren't great and the colours don't really appeal to me anyway.
