font-size: 14pt;\">Although I have found almost all of Bobbi Brown&#8217;s lip products to be unacceptably toxic (both in terms of their ingredients lists and my experiences with them), these art sticks are a noteworthy exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The art sticks are somewhere between a lip pencil and lipstick in consistency but are quite large in size (5&#8243; long and about the width of a standard highlighter) compared to either. Each comes with its own sharpener, which is much bigger than any other makeup sharpener that I have ever encountered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I think these art sticks make it pretty easy to draw a precise lip outline and then to fill it in with color. If I add a little lip gloss on the top, the result is a plump lip look that lasts for quite a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">According to EWG criteria, the art sticks have an acceptably clean ingredient list other than the artificial colors and a chemical called myristyl myristate (which is also used in quite a few &#8220;clean&#8221; brands and which hasn&#8217;t seemed to be a problem for me).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Five colors are currently available. I have Bare (&#8220;a nude flesh tone&#8221;) and Dusty Pink (&#8220;a soft neutral pink&#8221;). The latter is a little brighter than I would have expected from the description, but it is pretty and softens up if I put lip gloss on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I like both of these and would be interested in trying out additional colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>0.2 oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Bobbi Brown Rating:\u00a0<\/strong>4.5 Stars (182 reviews)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Credo Clean:\u00a0<\/strong>Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Clean at Sephora:\u00a0<\/strong>Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Drunk Elephant Clean:\u00a0<\/strong>No<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Think Dirty Rating:\u00a0<\/strong>3 (green)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Ingredient Rating:<\/strong> 6 (yellow)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Problem Ingredients:<\/strong> Myristyl Myristate (3), Titanium dioxide (3), Red #6 (6), Red # 7 (6), Blue #1 (7), Red #30 (5), Red #22 (5), Red #21 (5), Yellow #6 (7), Red #27 (5), Red #33 (4), Red #27 (5), Orange #5 (4)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Fragrance Ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong>None<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>All Ingredients:<\/strong> Castor Seed Oil , Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride , Glyceryl Ricinoleate , Candelilla Wax, Beeswax, Myristyl Myristate , Carnauba Wax, Cetyl Alcohol , Shea Butter, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate , Lecithin , Tocopherol , Ascorbyl Palmitate , Tin Oxide .

font-size: 14pt;\">The regular line of the Chubby Sticks lip products offers 15 shades, each providing just a light wash of color to the lips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Intense versions are basically the same formula but with substantially more pigment. Eight shades are currently available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">These crayons are all somewhat hydrating and have color that lasts for a reasonably long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I especially like the fact that I can draw a neat mouth without the product smearing or looking messy. The slight waxiness of the crayon provides some definition without requiring a lot of fuss (or, for the most part, even a mirror).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">EWG lists only the food colorings as problem ingredients, and no flavoring agents are used. The product has not irritated my skin at all, and I think it tastes okay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I also appreciate the fact that these crayons have held up well through a lot of use, rather than getting smashed or misshapen as many of my other lip products have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I&#8217;ve tried on most of the Chubby Stick colors and think that almost all of them have looked nice on me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I especially like Richer Raisin (which is similar to the Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey shade), Two-Ton Tomato and Whole Lotta Honey in the regular line, as well as Curviest Caramel and Chunkiest Chili in the Intense line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>0.10 oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Ulta Rating:\u00a0<\/strong>4.6 Stars (2974 reviews)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Credo Clean:\u00a0<\/strong>Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Clean at Sephora: <\/strong>Meets Criteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Drunk Elephant Clean:\u00a0<\/strong>No<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Think Dirty Rating:\u00a0<\/strong>6 (yellow)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Product Rating:<\/strong> 4 (yellow)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Ingredient Rating:\u00a0<\/strong>6 (yellow)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>EWG Problem Ingredients:<\/strong>Blue #1 (7), Yellow #6 (7), Red #6 (6), Red #7 (6), Yellow #5 (6), Red #22 (5), Red #30 (5), Red #28 (5), Red #33 (4), Titanium dioxide (3).

Although these are both dark lip colors, I think they have worked okay on me and are pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The main downside is that these lip crayons are so creamy and hydrating that they tend to be kind of messy going on. It seems to me that no matter how careful I am at applying this product, some of it gets on the skin around my mouth and then needs to be touched up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">This creamy lip pencil from Jane Iredale requires manual sharpening but allows me to draw on a neat lip that looks nice on its own and that also can be used as a base for lipstick or lip gloss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I have the color Blissful (&#8220;shimmering sheer nude&#8221;), which I think is very pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">However, I think that the formula of this lip crayon is likely especially well-suited to darker or brighter colors since the lack of smearing would be a real positive with those.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The crayon fits into a standard large-size makeup pencil sharpener (such as the one that I bought from Jones Road to use with their face pencils and eyebrow pencils).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It includes two ingredients &#8211; myristyl lactate and diethylhexyl adipate &#8211; that EWG thinks are mildly problematic (4 on their 1o-point toxicity scale) and that I have rarely seen in other products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I think that this lip crayon feels okay to me though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">There are no fragrance ingredients mentioned in the ingredients list and I am not detecting any smell\/taste at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The main downside that I see to this product is that it might have the potential of being used up quickly, especially if it is sharpened frequently to keep the tip pointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I do like this product and would like to try it in a brighter shade, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Size:\u00a0<\/strong>0.10 oz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;

I liked the look and texture of the lipstick quite a lot, but found the taste to be unacceptable.

Squalane is listed as the second ingredient and I do really like the hydration benefits of this product. However, I have found it to be unusable and believe that this is primarily due to the use of canola oil (which is routinely contaminated with substantial amounts of glyphosate) as the first ingredient in the formula. The product also has a strong fragrance that I found to be highly unappealing (and that I believe is synthetic). EWG gives the formula a 9 (red), citing the following ingredients as problematic: linalool (3), limonene (5), benzyl alcohol (6), citral (5), benzyl salicylate (5), fragrance (8), red #7 (6), red #22 (5), red #28 (5), titanium dioxide (3), yellow #6 (7), yellow #5 (6), and blue #1 (7).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mineralfusion.com\/collections\/cosmetics-lips\/products\/vegan-natural-lipstick-butters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mineral Fusion Lipstick Butter ($14):<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>I really liked this product at first, especially in terms of its all-natural ingredients list and taste. However, the product went rancid to the point that I was unable to use it at all within three months of opening. This was especially disappointing since the product was stored in an environment that was climate-controlled and mostly in the dark. Sunflower seed oil (which goes bad very easily) is listed as the first ingredient and a few other fragile oils (including sesame oil) also are mentioned. EWG gives this product a 3 (yellow) and mentions only titanium dioxide (3) as being potentially problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiciansformula.com\/organic-wear-tinted-lip-treatment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Physicians Formula Organic Wear Tinted Lip Treatment ($10):<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>This conditioning product contains a number of organic ingredients and looked nice on my lips (especially for the price), but it also had an unpleasant chemical-type undertone taste that made me unwilling to wear it.

Lip Sculpt Clean Lipstick ($26):<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>This is a highly pigmented matte lip crayon that provides a good deal of hydration to the lips.
