Hello guys! So after so much hesitation and exploring the
blog world I finally initiated my dream to start a BLOG! I wanted to start my
own blog since a very long time and was waiting for the right time. Blogging
seems very much fascinating and interesting but with so much of hard work! I have
passion for beauty and fashion and really wanted to turn my passion into a
career. So, this is my first product review on the blog, let me know what you
think in the section down below!
This season when
someone asks you generally, HEY, WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? Black, pinks,
reds, blue all goes in the back of mind and heart screams NUDEEE!! That’s my
color. I was never a lip liner fan. Lip liners were like waste of money to me.
I mean in that price you can buy a lipstick, right? I picked my very first sephora lip liner in
Singapore and faced a very embarrassing moment cause of it. I went to the
sephora collection and swatched this lip liner there. The liner was really tiny
(REALLY!!). I just thought maybe they have sharpened it. I blindly kept the
liner in my basket and took few other things too and went for billing. When the
lady at the billing counter took out the liner out of basket I then noticed
that’s it actually that short and very embarrassingly I asked her THIS IS IT??
And she stared me like WHAT?? I then confirmed with her that did I take a wrong
piece and she was like no. And completed my order and moved out of store.
So, this was my little (not so little: P) experience about how
the liner joined my collection. :D
Lip liners came in hype because of lip contouring trend and
after coming across it, my interest for lip liners developed.
I picked up the shade number 13. Pink beige and let’s move
on to the review and my experience with it.
SHADE DESCRIPTION: It is the perfect nude lip liner for
Indian skin tones. A perfect balance of nude brown and light pink. It matches
my lips perfectly.
PACKAGING: The
packaging is just like standard lip liner. It is a wooden pencil with a tight
black cap this secures the product. The
pencil needs to be sharpened, which is something I dislike because you waste a
lot of product in sharpening. Also, this lip liner is half a size in comparison
to the traditional lip liners.
The pencil has all the details regarding the
shade no, shade name, product weight, product name. The pencil comes in the
color of the actual product which is easy to locate if you have a major
collection of lip pencils. Each lip liner weighs 0.025 ounces of product. As it
is a mini liner it is very travel friendly.
TEXTURE: The texture of the liner is semi matte. I would not
say these are the best lip liners in texture because they feel a bit dry on
lips if not moisturized or exfoliated.
But this liner does not tug on lips whatsoever.
PIGMENTATION: The liner has a very strong pigmentation. It
swatches opaque in one swipe. It has a fair staying power of 4-5 hours. The
best thing about this lip liner is it does not bleed or smudge no matter what.
The liner is very comfortable to wear on lips and does not move. If you have
oily lips this liner may be a problem as it will move on the lips. The color
payoff with light colored lip liners is much more intense when used on
exfoliated lips.
One of the best things about lip liners are they can be worn
individually. A nude liner can be paired with any lipstick if you want to mute
a color. A major downfall of nude lip liners are they can wash out some people.
Like if you are really very fair it can look gorgeous on you. I don’t use it
alone, I like to pair it with my mauve lip creams and lip crayons. So if you
want a liner which brightens up for face instantly this shade may not live up
to your expectations.
PRICE: On sephora
website it retails for 6USD, but I got it for 10 SGD ( INR 500).
PROS:
1. Search for a perfect nude lip liner is over. This is the
one.
2. Great pigmentation
3. Does not bleed or smudges
4. Good staying power
5. Does not tug on the lips
6. Non-patchy
7. Pairs beautifully with several lipsticks
CONS:
1. SIZE!!! (A major drawback)
2. Feel a bit dry on
lips
3. Can wash out if worn alone
4. May not work on oily lips
OVERALL RATING: 3.5/5
I hope you like the review. Also let me know what your favorite budget is friendly and high end lip liners.
Until next time,
LOVE
