Designer Brands Lip Pencil Review

I absolutely love Designer Brands products, the are very well made and don't react with my skin. Their lip liner colour options are quite limited where I live, but the colours I have used to far have been amazing and long lasting, has reduced feathering which I get from other brands.

This is an amazing quality lip liner that I can not fault, I have all the colours and love them! They are creamy to apply yet last for hours and don't smudge, they are very opaque so you don't need to apply much if you are going to be layering a lipstick or gloss on top. Perfect for keeping in your bag for touch ups because if you loose it at least it did not cost you half a days pay! Highly worth trying out :)

I must confess I didn't have high hopes for this product 1. because I've never found Designer Brands products that great and 2. because I got it as a freebie gift with something I brought.

This lip pencil is very standard, quite literally a pencil for the lips. There is a nice selection if colours available although I have not pursued them beyond the one I chose.

In terms of the product on the lips I did not find it that long lasting and it smeared after a little while. The colour also didn't look as good on as it did on the pencil. However it was a very pigmented colour and when paired with a longer lasting product it could create a longer lasting effect. The product was also nice and soft on the lips although like many it became a little drying after a period of time.

I wouldn't bother buying it, because I think lip liners are better. But if you're looking for something cheap and pretty standard it is a good product.

I got this for only $2 at a makeup sale so I had 0 hopes for it. Was pleasantly surprised! This glides on really smoothly and doesn't tug on my lips at all. The pigmentation is great and leaves a solid streak. It stays on fairly well for its price (I mean you can't expect a completely smudge proof liner at $2). This really helps keep my lipstick in place and looks so much neater. I'm hopeless without lip liners half the time I look like clowns. The only thing that I'm not 100% satisfies with this is the color on my lips in comparison to the color in the pencil. I couldn't swatch this so I picked a rosey color that looked really pretty on the pencil. But when I got home I realised it was more of a dark pink than a rose. It's still nice just not what I expected. This was a great buy and I'll definitely get it again at that price!
