We’ve never been the type of ladies who can wear lipstick comfortably day in and day out (at least, not without wiping away the periodic smudges on our teeth). That’s why we’re borderline-obsessed with this versatile lip pencil, which combines the high-intensity pigment of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss while curing dryness. The brainchild of celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal, it gives the subtle illusion of fuller lips. Once it’s on, we can forget that we’re wearing it at all—unless we pass a mirror, of course.
It's just enough and not too much! I keep one in my purse, one in my desk at work. It's not too sticky as I've found the gloss to be. It makes lips look fuller without looking like I "tried." It's like, a shimmery lipstick/gloss medium and I cannot get enough. Sharpening can get a bit gooey on the fingers. So, as long as you have a good sharpener, you're good to go! Love me some Mally!
5First of all, goes on very smooth. I have used this as a supplement for chapstick when I have run out in the past because it goes on so smoothly and is so moisturizing. The color is not too dark but visible... it is not sheer. The product is long lasting. I have a bad habit of rubbing my lips together until any product I am wearing disappears but the longevity of this surprised me. Not to mention, my lips instantly looked rounder, pout-ier and more prominent.
5I was so excited to try this one. The color didn't layer on well, last long, and bled over the lip edges by lunch. Tried to use this product with all the iterations described-lip liner, lip color , base color under gloss, base color under a lipstick. It gets two stars mainly, because there is no taste to the product.
2This stuff is awesome. I love using it, it has such a great smell to it, I don't know why I'd use anything else. The sample size is unbeatable, I love me some Birchbox. I can actually USE the product more than once before I decide whether or not to buy it. It’s really important to try something more than once before you buy it, thank you Birchbox!!!!!
