eddie funkhouser twisted kisses matte lip pencil

hello everyone, today i will be reviewing the eddie funkhouser twisted kisses matte lip pencil in the shade kiss me twice. i got this in one of my ipsy glam bags (can't remember which month) but you can buy this from the eddie funkhouser website for $12.99 there is 2.8 grams of product and it is made in china. this product is also cruelty free, gluten free no soy and non gmo.

here is a swatch of the lip color on my arm. it's slightly lighter than my natural lip  color. for being a matte lip color it is fairly comfortable on the lips, however if you have cracked lips this make them look worse. the color is fairly opaque as well, as i only needed one coat on my lips. how well this lasts is pretty standard i find for any lipstick. you eat something it's going to transfer, drink something it will transfer and of course is you kiss someone. now even though i love my liquid lipsticks and how they last all day, sometimes i just don't want to deal with insane dryness. i don't mind wearing this at all and i wouldn't be mad if i got more in my ipsy bag. i do think though that basically $13 is a bit much for a jumbo lip pencil, and who knows how much that converts to in canadian dollars. ya i get it, your an indie brand but i personally can't justify spending that much when i know i can get something of similar quality from the drugstore at a similar or cheaper price. as i said i'm not mad at the product and if i ever receive more in a subscription i wouldn't mind, i just wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. maybe if you are someone who has more money to spend then go for it and give these a shot. i also want to point out that they only have five shades which are all in the wearable nude esc category minus the more plum shade.
