The New Hourglass Girl Lip Stylos, Part 1: Shiner and Creamier Than the Femme Nudes

January 14th, 2017 by Karen 25 Comments

10 of the 20 new Hourglass Girl Lip Stylos, which are $32 each and available now

Good morning, glory! I was thinking last night after reading your comments on the last post that I may not need a treadmill very soon, since I’ll just be chasing the coywolf around the house all day long.

After I put her down last night, I made these easy “healthy” cookies. “Healthy” in quotes. But they’re actually pretty healthy. You take a cup of oatmeal blended in a food processor, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, two (super ripe) mashed bananas and 1/2 a cup of chocolate chips. Then, cook on a baking sheet at 350 for 15 minutes. Yum! We had them for dessert while we watched Hidden Figures, which was really good. I won’t mind if Connor decides that she wants to be a mathematician for SpaceX or NASA. ?

In other news…lip crayons are having a moment this spring, right? Chanel came out with a line of them, Clinique has their new Crayola Chubby Sticks, and now Hourglass has these $32 Girl Lip Stylo Crayons.

This post is a look at 10 of the 20 available shades (second batch coming up soon).

Do you remember the Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylos?? They came out a while ago… Well, these new Girl Lip Stylos have the same style packaging — a pointy tip and a twist-up lipstick in crayon form. I’m sure you’ve seen the same idea before.

How are the Girl Lip Stylos different from the Femme Nude Lip Stylos?

First off, the Girl Lip Stylos have a wider range of colors (and more bold shades), and they’re shinier (I’d call it a luster finish), slicker and smoother. The Femme Nudes have more of a satin finish, so they aren’t quite as shiny.

The Girl Lip Stylos are also creamier than the Femme Nudes — more like a MAC Cremesheen or a Chanel Rouge Coco Shine — so they have that slippery, balm-like texture.

Color and formula

Every single one of the 10 faintly vanilla-scented shades here (there are 20 shades total; stay tuned for swatches of the second batch soon) applies smoothly, and I only need a couple swipes because of how pigmented they are. None of them — not even the brightest of the brights or the darkest of the dark — settle into my lip lines or get jammed up in my flakes.

Oh! — and get this. The deeper shades, like Warrior, Protector and Liberator — fade slowly into a gorgeous, even tint that looks like you’ve been kissing your crush for hours.

They’re also loaded with moisturizing shea butter, jojoba and sunflower seed oils, and they’re wonderfully moisturizing (but not as moisturizing as a shot of Hourglass Lip Oil).

They’re aren’t supposed to be super long-wearing, and they aren’t, so expect to have to reapply them every couple hours.

I like ’em! They aren’t quite as shiny as a gloss, so they definitely aren’t gonna blind you. Second batch of 10 shades coming soon.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I hope you’re doing something fun this weekend. What are you up to?

      Hey Fran!

      These are amazing for pops of color. The nudes (which I’ll have up soon) from this batch are great too. None of them are of the wash-you-out variety.

      I hope you’re having a great weekend so far!

    I’m so glad you tried these! It’s been so dreary here in KS (with an ice storm on the way) and I’m ready for some pretty spring make up. I also had a pretty low key makeup year in 2016 after having a baby girl. Our girls are only a few months apart?. For some reason, when I was preggo, I couldn’t stand anything on my lips for the first few months and then I didn’t have much time for it after that but I’m easing back into playing with it all again. These are so pretty and I’m craving moisture lately, especially for some quick color in this dry winter season. I can’t wait to see the rest!

    I love so many of these colors! Also love the very empowering names.
    Other than the vanilla, do they have any taste? I hope there isn’t any macadamia oil in them.
    I feel a trip to Sephora coming on.

      Hi Tatiana,

      I taste a tiny bit of vanilla, but it’s faint, and doesn’t taste artificial. I looked around for an ingredient list but can’t seem to find one; I’ll see if I can track one down for you!

        Thanks. So many new lip products out recently that I can’t wear because they have macadamia oil in them, which I’m allergic to. Ugh.

    My lips have been so dry, I’m needing to stop my use of matte liquid lipsticks! These are gorgeous.

      Hi Chelsea!

      With matte liquid lipsticks, I find it helps to prep with lip balm first. I love them too, especially for wear, but they do crazy things to my lips, and a layer of lip balm underneath helps a lot.

      I hope you’re having a nice weekend so far. What have you been up to?

        The circus gym reopened last week, so I went to a hula hoop workshop on Friday night (with a focus on using multiple hoops), and went to hand balance and contortion classes on Saturday! I’m definitely feeling it. I meant to go to a trapeze class today but I wrote down the wrong time and missed it! Darn.

    Well. These look beautiful! I love it when darker shades fade to a tint rather than fading patchily/in to lines/flaking off-the latter is not cute and makes them so high maintenance!

        Yes, absolutely! They are pretty pricey, so I don’t purchase a lot from them. But I enjoy the quality and overall vibe from Hourglass. Always so pretty and classy!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
