J Cat Beauty - The Big lip pencil in BLP203 Red Rose

I got it through IPSY but you can also buy it on the J CAT website
Sells for $3.99 on their website

Packaging
I love the colour, such a nice rich red. The pencil is very cute, though the beige part at the top gets dirty super quick and is super hard to clean so it looks dirty really quick.

Performance
It took a little getting used to to apply but I don't use lip pecils very often for just that reason, I like a sharp edge to work with. It went on very smoothly and dried quickly to a matte finish which was a pleasant surprise given how glossy the actual pencil is. I did find is slightly drying but that could easily be fixed by applying a moisturizing balm under it. Definately doesn't hold up to a kiss test nor a drink test, so you'll definately want to set it or seal it.

Overall
I like the colour and the finish, the packaging is cute, but I didn't like the staying power or the application so I'm gonna give it a 7/10, It would have been an 8 if it weren't drying.

Buy again?
I probably won't purchase it when I run out, but it is a nice red to have in my collection.
