So yeah, you could say that I'm just a tiny bit excited to see Lord & Berry at CVS and I might have squealed when I saw Jenny's pics. Take a look:

Lord & Berry Runway Long Lasting Shining lipstick Fat Pencil Collection at CVS
(retail: unknown)
There are twelve shades in this display--here's a closer look at some of them:

I'm loving the look of these--how fancy that they come in box, right? We don't usually see that for chubby lip pencils at the drugstore level. I'm also impressed that they've brought the European drugstore trend of "testers for everything" over here to the US!
I hope that this is just the first of many Lord & Berry products to debut at CVS--I obviously have no way of knowing if more are coming, but I'll definitely be on the lookout and, of course, you'll be the first to know if any other products are spotted.
European readers: Are you a Lord & Berry fan? Are these pencils already available in Europe?
US readers: Have you ever tried any Lord & Berry products? Are you excited to see this brand at CVS?
Thanks again, Jenny, for the fantastic sighting and pics. I really appreciate it!
I know I had several Lord & Berry products, and I liked them, but I can't recall any specifics. Mascara, I think, and some lipstick and/or lip gloss. I was able to find them at Rite-Aid and 1 K-mart store. But it's been a good 10 or 15 years since I've seen L&B in stores. I would definitely give them another try.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, THANK YOU for jogging my memory! I DO remember seeing this brand here in US drugstores back in the late 90s/early 2000s! I had completely forgotten about that!
DeleteFor some reason I only remember eyeliners and I think they were super long pencils (like WnW). Wow, I never would have remembered that had it not been for your comment! Thank you...now I'm wondering exactly when they went away? I want to say about the same time that Jane went away (the original Jane, of course).
I think L&B was gone before Jane disappeared. I can remember the Rite-Aid store I used to buy L&B at, but I stopped shopping at that location 10 years ago, when I moved to the city I live in now. I remember seeing Jane at a nearby Walmart. I think they left mid-2000 sometime. (I'm glad to see them back, too)
DeleteI do vaguely remember L&B eyeliners. I'm kinda sad that I can't recall them any better, because I do remember really liking them. I think they had a lipstick pencil that I really, really liked.
Hi G. I live in SD as well and spotted these at the CVS at Grossmont Center just last night! I passed them up because I didnt know anything about this brand. Thanks for the post. I might have to go back :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jessica!! I think Imight need to take a trip to Grossmont this week! :)
DeletePlease let me know what you think if you try one?
G if you pick some up I would love to see swatches!
ReplyDeleteSaw these at Pearl River, NY CVS and passed as well because I didn't know the brand. Will pick one up next time!
ReplyDeleteThey used to sell this brand in US drugstores when it was part of AM Cosmetics, who owned Wet 'n Wild at the time. They then branched out on their own (and Wet n Wild was then sold to Markwins). They used to make great products (from what I remember as a kid haha) so I'll definitely be looking into them again!
ReplyDeleteThese look fun! I already have enough lip products to sink a ship though... G, I would love to see a review on these so I can tell whether or not they're worth it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so on a kick with the fat/chubby pencil thing.
ReplyDeleteSo am I Kimberly! As long as they are shiny and almost glossy!
DeleteI've never tried Lord & Berry because Idk if they're cruelty free or not, but I used to sell it on eBay a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI had a fave "vintage" chubby lip pencil from them. It was AWESOME! Color and staying power. Of course the formula may hv changed but I wud still gv them a chance!!
ReplyDeleteHOL-Y GRRRRRAIL!! L&B "Blush"! Best ever MLBB color! These last, they don't fade, feather or migrate. They used to be her in NorCal at Payless (now RiteAid) and Longs (now CVS). I have a stump of "Blush" left and I circle it like Golum, my precioussssss! Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. PS-the other colors are great as well!
ReplyDeleteHa HA! Well, OK then - an endorsement above all other endorsements! Will have to try -
DeleteI saw them and swatched them, and they were gorgeous and creamy. But they were $10.49, so I didn't buy any. Tempting, though.
ReplyDeleteI saw this display full today at the CVS Studio City, CA Ventura Blvd. and Laurel Canyon.

Any body knows around how much are they?
ReplyDeleteit's around $10-11 @my cvs. i think it's too expensive for drugstore.
ReplyDeleteNo feathering but some fading. Nice NARS like look and feel and basic matte colors. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI saw an untouched display of Lord & Berry at my local CVS. I swatched a few in stores because of their awesome display samples. I took home the Blush shade and I love how smooth it glides on!
ReplyDeleteI bought one and LOVE it. Can't figure out how to sharpen them though! they don't fit in a standard chubby sharpener. :(
