ColourPop Pencil Review

Another product from the well-known brand colour pop.

This product is basically a lip liner. It comes in a plastic cylinder container, and it retractable. The packaging does feel really cheap, but when you only pay $5 (USD) for a product, you can't really expect a whole lot more.

I only have two of these pencils and i beleive the colours are lumiere and bound. Both beautiufl colours, one more purple, and the other more brown. The reason i chose these liners were because that match the lippie stix i have and they are also quite neutral tones so i can match them with other lipstick as well.

I find these liners are creamy, and easy to apply without tugging. They just glide over my lips. Because the pencil is shaped like a pencil, its pretty easiy to draw a precise line. Sometimes i use the lip liner as a all-over base for my lips and i find this really makes the lippie stix long lasting, but using it just like a lip-liner increases wear as well.

Overall, a decent product but not really something i would rush to repurchase. These are nice, but nothing incredible. But for the price, they are worth trying.

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.

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

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.

Really excited to use these, as they had such a lovely shade range and at such a bargain price too! But I used this maybe for a couple of weeks if that and ran out of product. the liner its self was nice and convenient to use and take with me , but wouldn't repurchase due to minimal product.

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

After seeing everyone else pick these products up, and ColourPop's awesome instagram feed I knew that I needed to get on the bandwagon and pick some of their products up. The pencils are only USD$5 so I thought that I can't really go wrong with this. I joined in on an order with some friends though as the shipping can be quite expensive. I picked up one colour which is Fetch - I just love the name, reminds me of Mean Girls which was my favourite movie for such a long time, 'Gretchen, stop trying to make Fetch happen, It's just not going to happen!'. Fetch is a bright pink shade, they call it a 'mid-tone warm true pink'.

The packaging for these is lovely as with all of the Colour Pop goodies. I really like the white packaging, it just looks really clean and simple. It has a holographic print of the brand and shade on it which is really cool. Although this has rubbed off on some of the lippie stix that I own. At the end of the pencil it has the shade colour which is great to be able to find which one you want quickly in a bunch. The lid sits tightly on the pencil so no worries about it falling off. You do have to sharpen this pencil which feels a bit weird as you are sharpening plastic, but it works so who am I to complain.

The pencil itself goes onto the lips quite smoothly although not in a creamy way. I think this is very similar to other lip pencils I have, although not as drying as my MAC one. I really like the formulation as it really seems to stick to your lips in a non-drying sort of way. Makes for a really nice matte lippy if you apply all over your lips. Most of the time I use lip pencils for applying all over the lip and putting a gloss over the top. The wear time on this is pretty good. I found if I applied in the morning all over the lip I could still see a slight stain over the lips by the end of the day, long after whatever I applied on top is gone. Not as strong as in the morning but still there. Impressive!

I actually really like this and think that it is a great place to pick up lip pencils. Lip pencils to me are like the boring makeup product that I usually don't bother buying. Why buy a lip pencil when you can get a LIPSTICK! But these actually do the job really well and are a reasonable price so I would recommend them to friends.

Are and Be Lippie Pencil, a rich mauve shade. Beautiful and silky in texture which makes application so easy. This paired with the Lippie Stix I didn't like so much. I noticed slight feathering on the lower lip. However match it with Are and Be in the liquid form and you have a match made in heaven! This liner keeps things in the lines and helps give a beautiful soft matte finish.

I've tried this pencil with other liquid and non liquid forms of lipstick and I found it helped keep liquid lipsticks perfectly in line. Lipsticks that weren't a matte formula didn't sit well with this pencil.

I love the formula of this lip pencil I do wish it was versatile with many types of lipsticks

these are super handy to have to line lips but ive found its just as handy for a little hint of color if you cant be bothered busting out the whole kit.

They apply really easy, like, spreading soft butter on toast easy. The color payout is nice and even if it doesn't last long theyre pretty cheap. I kike that you can also almost always find a matching lipstick to it, or add a lip balm and it looks awesome.

Dislike having to sharpen them, and i supet dont like that the color falls out of its case or breaks, that drives me bananas. But theyre good and cheap so.. you get what you pay for? Would definitely repurchase!
