Lip-Pencil: March 2012

Cyberlady's Beauty Blog: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

Just thought I should tell you that much as I am happy with this product, I have had problems with sharpening it. I have the correct size sharpener but each time I sharpen it, it breaks off and when I finally appeared to have a good point on it, when I applied to lips it broke off again! Very frustrating.

I have contacted SpaceNK and they have agreed to exchange it for me when I am in town next week.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Contouring Pencil ...

Digging through my stash lately, I unearthed a lip liner. It was 1000 kisses Stay on lip liner pencil in Coffee Bean. I don’t even remember buying it; maybe it was my mum’s. OMG! I couldn’t believe why I never tried it. I couldn’t wait and rushed to the store and got myself two Lasting Finish Lip contouring pencils right away!

Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Liner
Long lasting colour, transfer resistant lip liner. Lasting Finish 1000 kisses lip liner is Rimmel's long wear wood pencil, for comfortable wear up to 8 hours. Its soft
creamy texture glides on precisely to the lips without pulling or dragging. The rich vibrant color blends easily without bleeding.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Contouring Pencil (swatches and comparison)

My thoughts
I am very pleased. For a drugstore lip liner, it probably is one of the best out there. I guess Rimmel has changed the name from Stay on lip liner pencil to lip contouring pencil otherwise they are the same.

If you remember, I talked about Karaja’s Lip Liner a while back where I said that I would keep looking for a lip liner that’s a bit creamier. Guess what, I just found it! To be honest, I liked the Karaja one solely for the gorgeous-ness of the shade I got otherwise the lack of creamy texture left room for improvement. I am so glad to find a similar shade in this line.

1000 Kisses lip pencil in Natural is a nude pink shade. Appears very natural on my lips. The texture of this one, for some reason, isn’t as creamy compared to Spice and Coffee bean so it consumes some effort. Except for Natural, I find the texture of the other two creamy enough to slide smoothly without dragging. But I can tell, Natural in comparison to the Karaja one, is a bit better.

I just found that Rimmel 1000 Kisses lip liner in Spice is a close dupe for MAC Lip liner in Spice. Wow, I didn’t know that. Spice is a pinky cinnamon shade and is much creamier compared to Natural. It is such a beautiful shade that I love wearing it alone. I lightly fill my lips with it and get a fresh pop of pink. It also makes a great base for my pink lipsticks. The staying power is commendable! It stays put even after the lipstick starts to fade. It can look funny though so I suggest blending the shade inside your lip when you apply it.

Coffee Bean is the creamiest of them all. It goes on extremely smooth but the shade is too dark for my liking. It’s a reddish brown color which can be used with red-burgundy to brown lipsticks. Being a nude/pink person, I don’t use it much. But if you are into dark colors (deep reds and browns), you must give it a go. This one is perfect!

Overall, I love these lip liners. I am very pleased with the texture and the incredibly good lasting power. The packaging is good too, they don’t crumble when sharpening. For now, I am really happy with my purchase.

You might like it if…

You’re looking for some good budget-friendly lip liners.
You expect a creamy texture that glides on smoothly.
You want to increase the wear of your lipstick.
You find the color range to be good enough.

You might not like it if…

If you find the light shades to be low on creamy texture.
You can’t find your desired shade.

My rating:

4.5/5

I got these for PKR 350 each from Agha’s Superstore Karachi. For this price, it’s definitely a steal!

Have you tried these? What are your favorite drugstore lip liners?

Get The 'Mad Men' Season 5 Premiere Look: Megan Draper And ...

Lana Horochowski, Department Head of Makeup for Mad Men, used NARS to help bring the 1960s to the small screen for Sunday’s season premiere. “We looked at a lot of ‘60s magazines, and photos from my mother when she was young,” Horochowski said. “Overall, there are definitely a lot of makeup looks this season. It’s a new color palette entirely!” Here's how to get the look, straight from Lana.

Megan Draper (Jessica Paré)
“The inspiration for Megan Draper drew from a combination of Twiggy and Sophia Loren,” explains Horochowski. “We thought of French and Italian actresses who had iconic looks. Megan is a little more high fashion in her approach to makeup compared to the other girls because she’s a lot younger – their makeup stays pretty consistent.”

Party look: “It was so mod – we used Heart of Glass Eyeshadow, a pale blue shade, not too shimmery, with Thunderball Eyeshadow in the crease, which was drawn in a thick line, smudged slightly, but left heavy enough to be very mod. Like Twiggy. I lined her eyes with the Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo. I used Desire Blush on her cheeks, and Belle de Jour Velvet Matte Lip Pencil on her lips.”

Office look: “She’s very basic in the office – very little foundation, a little black eyeliner, and Dolce Vita Velvet Matte Lip Pencil every day. I also love to use Madrague Duo Eyeshadow. In the first scene in the office, she’s wearing Lili Marlene Cream Eyeshadow on the eyelid with Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo applied in a thick black line.”

Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks)
“You don’t see her in the office too much in the first episode – she’s at her apartment where she’s not wearing much makeup. Just a swipe of Dolce Vita Blush; and on her lips we like to apply Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil but blotted down to a stain, or Dolce Vita Velvet Matte Lip Pencil.”

NARS Mexican Rose : Clumps of Mascara

It’s anything but new but NARS Cosmetics’ Mexican Rose Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil is freaking fantastic. And I’m not just saying that because I’m slightly obsessed with NARS everything.

Okay, wait – let’s rewind. Why is this the first time I’ve ever tried a NARS lip pencil? I mean…where in the world have I been? Have they always been free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, phthalates and sulfates? Whoooa! That’s huge for me. Y’all know how much I adore the preservative-free skincare and cosmetic products. So um, yeah…before this lippie even hit my lips, I was in love with it.

But when I did apply it. Oh Lawd…

Just gorgeous. It’s one of those funny lippies in that an initial swatch just looks so so.

It appeared ultra-glossy and while it’s described as a “hot pink”, it looked to be a little subdued to me. But honey, twas a different story when I put it on the lips. I love love love love love. Oh! And the best thing about this lippie? While it acts like a moisturizing lipstick, it actually stays around like a lip stain. Even after hours of wear time, this pencil will stay put. Which of course makes its $24 price tag a lot easier to glance at. I want more. And more I will be hauling from Sephora. If you want this one, get it ASAP. It’s limited edition and may not be around much longer.

Have you ever tried any of NARS lip pencils? And uh…is a mexican rose actually a rose that is indigenous to Mexico? The geek in me needs to know these things…

DETAILS

Soft and velvety, each gold plated pencil has two tips with complementary colors. Enriched with vitamin E and tinted to deliver powerful, long lasting color, the Masterliner series provides a perfect base for your favorite Bésame lipsticks.

1 Cerise + Red lip double-ended lip pencil
Water-resistant formula delivers powerful, vibrant color
Retractable tip for precise application
Packaged in a slim gold metal casing, decorated with signature Bésame chrysanthemums

Head over here and Look for the Besame dept – to find this lip pencil. Sneakpeeq price is just $16 and new members get a $10 Credit – use yours to get this double-ended lip pencil for just $6 with free shipping too!

REVIEW: NYX Slim Lip Pencil « imakeupart

Posted by: i♥makeupart on: March 26, 2012

In: Product Review
Comment!

Cost: $3.50 USD
Where can I buy this? NYX, Pheonix (Pacific Mall)

MY 2 CENTS
NYX Slim Lip Pencils come in 60 different shades. I swear they have every color you can think of. From white to nudes and browns, to orange and reds, to pinks and purples.
These have to be one of my favourite NYX products, and one of my favourite lip liners of all time.
They’re smooth, creamy, and pigmented. They don’t get “hard”, they don’t crumble, and they’re not drying. I’ve never experienced any bleeding with these lip liners.

For $3.50, you can’t go wrong. I’d even go as far as saying they’re comparable to MAC (more product in MAC but more expensive). With NYX Slim Lip Pencils, you get a quality product for a very fair price.

Do you love NYX Slim Lip Pencils as much as I do?
Do you recommend any other lip liners?

New From Duri Cosmetics ~ Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine | It's A ...

Duri Cosmetics is acknowledged for their outstanding “Award Winning” Nail Polishes and treatments. So you can imagine my enthusiasm when they launched their newest product, Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine and I was given the opportunity to try it ! I knew if it was from Duri Cosmetics it had to be terrific !

Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine is awesome! What I really like about it is that it’s more of a lip shine and not a thick heavy product. You can wear it alone, or over your lipstick, and it gives a smooth fuller look to your lips.

In fact, Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine is (Quote) “Infused with Tripeptides to structure and restore lips volume by stimulating collagen production. It hydrates lips for comfort and complete protection using Aloe, vitamin E, coconut oil, and sunflower seed oil to soften and soothe creating the perfect pout.”

I received Icicle which is a clear plumping lip shine with a soft shimmer. I even put it on at night as a treatment to keep my lips smooth and let those Tripeptides keep inspiring the collagen production in my lips to achieve a fuller look.

Other available colors in the Duri Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine Collection include
(Quote):
• BRAVO ~ (Rasberry with shimmer)
• CARMEL TREAT (Taupe with shimmer)
• FIRST KISS (Sheer pink with shimmer)
• ICED PLUM (Bronzed shimmer)
• ICED ROSES (Pink with shimmer)
• ICICLE (Clear with shimmer)

I took some pictures of my lips without any Lush Lips Plumping Lip Shine, with just the Plumping Lip Shine, and with a soft pink lip pencil applied over my whole lip and Plumping Lip Shine over the top:
