ColourPop Pencil Review

I don't normally wear lip liners, but I was happy I tried Colourpop's as they are so comfortable and easy to apply. I actually tend to wear it as a lipstick and it doesn't dry out my lips.

You do have to sharpen these which can be messy, but I have the sharpener from them and it has a lid to catch the shavings. I also try and use the shavings with a lip brush so I'm not wasting product.

Sometimes the actual product comes loose from the pencil and starts to slide out, so I open them with the lid facing up so it doesn't fall out. I don't really mind this because the formula is so nice and the price is great too!

Especially the more 'crazy' colours! I love how pigmented and creamy they are though, and I find that Brills (lavender purple) goes excellently under MAC Kelly Osborne Dodgy Girl, for which I had been looking for a line to pair with since the day I bought it. ColourPop pencils are awesome.

My pet peeves with lip pencils is that they're very dry and drag on my lips, but now I only exclusively use Colourpop's lip pencils. They're very creamy and apply smoothly on.

They also last a surprisingly long time even alone, but I find the coverage for a matte look is better when the lip pencil is paired with a lipstick. The lip pencils are such a good formula that they look fine on their own though! It's definitely pigmented and not just sheer.

You do have to be careful sharpening it as it's easy to break the tip off because the product is so soft.

Also it runs out really quickly. I wish they made bigger versions of the lip pencil. As it is, I'd recommend stocking up instead.

These are one of my favourite lip pencils. Beautiful and smooth and very comfortable. It's great to wear all over the lips with a lippie or gloss over top. The only reason I wouldn't completely recommend is that I had to purchase from overseas which Im too keen on. I'd own more Colourpop if we're available here

I was a sucker and purchased the matching lip pencil when I brought their Lippie Stix I jut couldn't resist them as I already seriously lacked pencils anyway.

These pencils are designed to look like a slim version of the Lippie Stix in its white barrelled pencil with the holographic logo and writing, even the ends have the colour of the product inside painted on to allow easy reference when you grab at them. At first I thought that these were retractable but they need to be sharpened which isn't a big deal to be honest for me. The formula is nice and creamy which sees a even smooth line when applying, it doesn't smudge or budge and works well with all other types of lip products so they are highly versatile. Ellarie I think personally is an amazing dupe for the MAC soar as it has this slight mauve spice colour to it and for the price difference its amazing.

Currenlty own shades:

Frida - Rich pink brown almost brick colour Ellarie - Spicy mauve colour Lumiere - Rich mauve colour LBB - Rich cranberry red almost brown Pitch - Dark chocolate brown Leather - Deep purple Lady - Raspberry red

I took a look into these after hearing the hype about them and other Colour Pop products. When looking at their selection I was impressed by the range of colours they have. There aren't that many ranges with that range of different colours so I was quite excited about that. My favourite shades would be dalia and punky. It is a good thing they have so many shades that you can't choose between at such an affordable prices because shipping is so pricey that you need to get several to make them worth buying.

Onto the lippie pencil itself. It is a good solid lip liner. It lasts for a good length of time and is well pigmented. To apply it was smooth and didn't dehydrate the lips, which is really important for me in a lip product. It also withstood eating lunch which many lip products don't.

The packaging is very clean and simple which is classy, but I don't think they advertise the need to sharpen aspect very well.

All in all a good product that I would love to see bought into stores instead of having to buy it online (I really don't like buying online).

I bought three of these in Lumiere, Bossy and Leather.

Lumiere is a '90's brown. Bossy is nearly a true red and Leather is a dark purple.

They go on really, really well, and the pigmentation is fantastic. However since my lips are quite big, I need to use a fair amount of product to cover them entirely.

So by the time I'd covered my lips, I'd worn the inside of the pencil down to the actual tube.

EDITED SECTION: I originally thought the pencils were retractable. Nope, I'm actually just a bit idiotic... You need to sharpen them. So I've changed my 'Recommend' rating from a 2/5 to a 4/5. I give it a 4/5 because the product does get used up quite fast - especially if you have juju lips like me. So perhaps lining lips and then blending out to make them last a little longer is the better way to go.

These lip liners are super pigmented and creamy and so affordable too. I have only been using them for a few weeks so I don't know how I'm going to go about sharpening them. They all come with corresponding lippie stix so it's super handy because you don't need to figure out what lip liner goes with what lip stick. Super great quality and I can't wait to buy more

These are lovely, creamy with high pigmentation lip pencils, that are easy to apply and stay fast. Very affordable if you go in with someone for the shipping and offer quick a variety of shade options.

The only problem I have encountered is that there is the odd couple that have been too creamy and end up snapping when using the lightest of pressure or that the product bleeds up into the skin surrounding the lips. For those that are too creamy and snap I have popped into the freezer for a few minutes to re firm them and found that they are back to performing well, however those that bleed on me hit the bin, I have no time for fussy liners.
