NYX Slim Lip Pencil Part 2 Review, Photos, and Swatches

Audrey Dao — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 13:31:13 +0000

NYX Lipliner Pencil ($3.50) Slim, trim but never prim, our lip pencils come in 60 dashing shades—from auburn to orange and traffic-stopping red. The buttery, long-wearing lip liner formula goes on easily and resists bleeding. Available in 60 shades.

My Thoughts:

836 Bloom -a bold fuchsia shade. I love to pair this up with a bold pink lipstick/gloss to make the color pop even more.

857 Nude Beige -a medium tan shade that I like to use for a nude or natural lip color.

858 Nude Pink -a light pink nude shade

860 Peekaboo Neutral – a nude shade with a hint of pink. This is my go to lip liner.

Overall, I wish the NYX Slim Lip Pencils were creamier. I don’t like it when lip products are on the dry side because it tends to tug on your lips. To be clear, it doesn’t dry out your lips. The texture just isn’t creamy. However, I don’t have to worry about the color fading because it is quite long lasting! I would most definitely repurchase since it’s so affordable and there are so many shades to choose from!

My Thoughts:

810 Natural – a brownish beige shade. It’s great if you’re going for a nude/natural lip color.

812 Plum – a dark mauvy shade.

813 Plush Red – a bright red with a bit of orange.

817 Hot Red – a bright, bold red. I think it’s a perfect classic Hollywood red lip color.

Palladio Herbal Precision Lipliner in Gingerbread Review, Photos, and Swatch

Audrey Dao — Tue, 03 May 2011 15:22:39 +0000

Palladio Herbal Precision Lipliner in Gingerbread ($5.99) Palladio Precision Lip Liners features a waterproof, no transfer formula that is the perfect all day lip liner for all skin types. Lasts for up to 12 hours. Buildable color pigment, for soft to dramatic styles. Silicone base will not “bleed” or “feather” like traditional wax liners.

My Thoughts:

Palladio Precision Lip Liners are so creamy and go on so smoothly! The lip liner has a glossy/creamy sheen to it, but when you apply the liner, it goes on matte. Gingerbread is a dark neutral, nude color that you can actually turn it into a lip color. Just line your lips, fill it in, and top it off with some clear gloss. The color lasts for hours and hours. It doesn’t fade or feather. The best part? The lip liner doesn’t dry out your lips.

Available at Sally Beauty Supply

Palladio Herbal Lip Slix in Vixen Review, Photos, and Swatches

Audrey Dao — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 14:25:47 +0000

Palladio Herbal Lip Slix in Vixen ($5.99) Create full, beautiful lips with the Palladio Herbal Lip Slix crayon. All the control of a crayon with the shine of a lip gloss. Easy to apply and won’t smudge like some glosses.

My Thoughts:

Palladio Herbal Lip Slix is a jumbo-sized lip crayon. The crayon gives the pigmentation of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss. Because the end is pointy like a pencil, it gives you a lot of control and precision when you apply the Herbal Lip Slix. It serves as a lip liner and lip color at the same time. It’s a 2-in-1 product! On my lips, the Herbal Lip Slix feels very smooth and moisturizing. The staying power is excellent and there is no strange scent or taste.

A minor concern I do have is having to sharpen the pencil. It’s a jumbo-sized pencil, and I’m not too sure how many people own a sharpener that fit jumbo-sized pencils. It’s not a problem for me because I own sharpeners for various pencil sizes, but it may be an inconvenience for people who only own a sharpener for slim pencils.

Available at Sally Beauty Supply and online.

Audrey Dao — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:20:42 +0000

Covergirl Outlast Smoothwear All-Day Lipliner ($6.79) Shape your lips with color that lasts. Silky-soft pencil glides on easily and smoothly to ensure flawless application without pulling or tugging. Color hugs lips to prevent lipcolor from feathering or bleeding outside of the lines.

My Thoughts:

I really really like this lipliner. I like it even more because it is so cheap especially when on sale. The color lasts for so long and it goes on so smooth. No tugging at all. I was so suprised to find how non-drying it was too! I highly recommend this lipliner.
