Another great review!! I got one of these in the shade Devin from an Ipsy point redemption but I always forget about it. I’m going to try it out tomorrow. I’m so glad you reminded me about this liner!
Component Description: each tube is colored teal blue to match the brand’s theming; removable sharpener & tip are colored the shade of the pencil, removable cap, retractable pencil, lightweight
Dexterity Concerns: slight; the cap is strongly secured in place & can require some effort to remove. Actually twisting the pencil to use it is easy on the hands.
Style: 0.012 ounces, made in the USA, cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny-Certified), vegan, no harmful ingredients
Extra Information: formulated with Semi-Permanent Micropigment Technology (trademarked) [bold, full coverage that lasts all day], also has Revitalizing Lip Quench Technology (trademarked) [built-in lip primer to smooth + plump lips]
Rules: no pre-hydrating balm/primer, dual-coat application, no gloss on top, no touch-ups
Activity: throughout wear test – drank (1) 20 oz bottle of mountain dew, sipped water intermittently through a tumbler straw, vaped 8 times, went on a 1-hr walking excursion & had sweat pouring ALL over my face
……
⭐ Initial Application: – 1200 – very creamy application, no drag, no skipping, able to completely fill-in lips without exertion. The tip is a lot thicker than I tend to like. Did not make my teeth look yellow. Feels completely dry & weightless.
……
🕑 2-Hour Mark: – 1400 – [still wearable] still looks decently pigmented. Color has slightly worn away on center of bottom lip.
……
🕓 4-Hour Mark: – 1600 – [still wearable] not much has changed since last check-in; color is still there, no further wearing-away is present, lips feel really dry
……
🕕 6-Hour Mark: – 1800 – [wearable w/ exceptions] liner has completely worn off on the interior lower lip. The entirety of the actual lip line is still in-tact, & I would suggest a touch-up at this point if wearing as a lip color. Still perfect as a liner product, though.
……
🕗 8-Hour Mark: – 2000 – [wearable w/ exceptions] looks the same as last check-in
……
🤓 Final Thoughts:
▪️Transfer: pass; no transfer with kiss test
▪️Teeth Test: pass; this specific shade doesn’t emphasize yellow tones
▪️Shade Range: could add a few more shades, but I do like the colors that they have
▪️Value: accordingly priced & NOT very accessible (ONLY available through their website) – @ $20.00, I would consider this mid-end (<$3=low-end; $4-$10=affordable; $11-$20=mid-end; $21-$40=high-end; >$41=luxury)
▪️Packaging: really cute & on-brand
▪️Applicator: considered to be a ‘precision’ tip, which can be made even more precise with the included sharpener
▪️Formula: creamy = yes; smooth, hydrating finish = no, it is definitely matte & did NOT smooth my lips
▪️Results to Claims: primes = not sure; smoothing + plumping = no to smoothing, no to plumping; long-wearing = yes; waterproof = yes; feather-and-fade-proof = yes
▪️Recommend: yes; for 4 hours as a sole lip product; for 8+ hours as a liner
