New at the Body Shop are the Body Shop Lip & Cheek Velvet Sticks ($15). These adorable little crayon products are multi-purpose for use as either a blush or lippie. There are 6 shades available - 10 nude, 20 pink, 30 bronze, 35 coral, 40 red, and universal. I got two to review, 40 Red and Universal.

Formulated with Community Fair Trade Marula Oil, the Body Shop Lip & Cheek Velvet Sticks are meant to be matte and a decadent velvety smooth texture. Yes sir-ee, the Lip & Cheek Velvet Sticks are smooth as velvet and also smell of a subtle floral. They feel like almost like a non-hard yet pigmented lip balm (think a drier EOS with a punch of colour). On both the cheeks and lips the product appears matte.
40 Red is a poppy red colour, while Universal appears black in the tube but has a pH-matching feature that adapts to your skintone. On me, the Universal shade turns into a rich purple-y pink. Both colours are about 60% opacity. If you want full-coverage pigmentation, you'd have to pass over the lips a couple times.

On the Cheeks: Three stripes of colour on the face and then blend away with the fingertips. It's creamy yet it dries down to a soft, non-dewy powdery finish. Super easy to use on the cheeks. Furthermore, the product lasts on my face for 6-ish hours which is more than standard for my oily skin.
On the Lips: While the chubby crayon stick packaging is not particularly helpful for a sharp lip line, it feels soft and doesn't skip or pull at the lips. As aforementioned, it feels much like a dry balm. The colour wears down after 2-3 hours and both the red and universal leave a bitten/popsicle kind of stain.
Overall, I likey. The stick form makes the product super easy to toss in your purse for on-the-go. And more importantly, the product performs.
