One Second Vivid Lip Crayons by Touch in Solare hydrating and bright lip coloursand the ones I’ve put my lips on are #4 Tulip Pink and #3 Barbie Pink.
THE PRODUCT: packaging
Touch In Sol One Second Vivid Lip Crayons come in black sleek pencils featuring a “cushion” tip and contain 1.8 grammes of product each.
They need no sharpener thanks to the twistable end, where the swirled design is, which allows you to pull out more product as you use it.
The cushion tip is a real surprise: uncap the coloured end to find a very soft cushion tip.

The tip makes blending or mixing these “Lip Crayons” easily.
Formula and texture:
Touch In SolOne Second Vivid Lip Crayoncontains candelilla wax and a mix of natural ingredients such as macadamia seed and rosa canina seed extracts, avocado oil and Kyounin Yu (prunus seed fixed oil), making these lip colours at the same time moisturising and creamy.
The texture is overall soft so that these lip colours glide nicely and smoothly onto the lips, the scent is hard to describe but it’s light and disappears quickly.

Shades and finish:
Touch In SolOne Second Vivid Lip Crayons are available in 6 colours. The colour selection might sound short, but it's bright and fun with two shades are totally crazy (bird yellow and marine blue).
The finish is halfway glossy and tends to become satin-y within some hours. Pigmentation is good and colours are buildable but the result varies on the chosen shade.

Touch In Sol One Second Vivid Lip Crayonin #4 Tulip Pink is a peachy pink with a touch of orange which warms it up. Brighter than abittersweet orange, it reminds me of Touch In SolTechnicolor Lip & Cheeks Tint in #4 Mystic Coral but it’s warmer and more long-lasting.
Touch In SolOne Second Vivid Lip Crayonin #3 Barbie Pink is a dusty lilac or a pale pink with a grey undertone. Technically, it’s paler and colder than a super pink. It’s a cold shade and, despite it has the same creamy, hydrating finish and texture as #4 Tulip Pink, it’s an unforgiving colour: it emphasises every and each invisible lip line and skin flake. Even if you’re sure your lips have been well scrubbed off and hydrated, chances are your lips can look drier with Barbie Pink.
Last note: Barbie Pink is less pigmented than Tulip Pink and it has a shorter lasting power.
#4 Tulip Pink lasts for 4 hours and leaves a lovely satin stain, while #3 Barbie Pink fades quickly, after one hour, especially on the centre of the lips.
My go-to-shade is #4 Tulip Pink but I’ve found both these lip crayons fun to use, indeed I like mixing these two shades together for natural pink lips and when I am in a good mood… I embrace the Asian two-toned lip trend. Two lips, two colours isn’t wrong!
Hit or miss? In my opinion, Touch In Sol One Second Vivid Lip Crayon is a very interesting lip colour, despite the results aren’t uniform. Despite Barbie Pink weak payoff, I can still make use of it, so it isn’t a total miss.
Thesmooth consistencyand thefunctional packaging are two qualities I like the most; these key points make Touch In Sol One Second Vivid Lip Crayon a nice product for touch ups and quick make-ups. I recommend #4 Tulip Pink for the fool-proof shade and lasting power.
10,16€ 10.90$). This Korean cosmetic brand is also available on Amazon.comand at Sephora eshop with a small selection of its products but I've found Glamourflare extremely fast and convenient for me with its shipping process (7 days to Italy).
