Lumiere, oh Lumiere, how I love you Lumiere. I own all of KathleenLights' collaborated products with Colour Pop and honestly, I want to own everything. I don't have many lip pencils in general but because I wanted to support her, I did grab the pencil.
The reason why I was confused is because I thought it was an automatic, wind up pencil. No. You have to sharpen it. I was going to complain about the packaging not letting me wind it up, so thank goodness I was told this before listing the packaging as a con. I love these pencils. They're in slim, white packaging with the Colourpop logo and ingredients written on it in rainbow-silver and at the end it shows the colour that's inside.
Lumiere is a very pretty mauvy, pinky, rosey kind of shade. I feel like anyone could wear it and it would just look stunning. I've noticed on YouTube with other shades that the pencil and lippie sticks with the same names are noticeably different, but with Lumiere, I really can't tell the difference in shades. Is this a bad thing to me? Not at all. The pencil glides on smoothly and is definitely creamy, it helps with the lasting power of any lipstick you put on top of it and is also, in my opinion, the perfect shade for overlining the lips slightly. It smells kind of chemically but it's not noticeable, I just happened to take a sniff at it while writing this review because I'm a bizarre individual. Highly recommend these lip liners and at such an affordable price, you really don't have much to lose!
As I was being "enabled" by friends into buying these in the lippie Stix, I threw 3 of these into my order as well.
I was advised that I didn't need to buy all of the liners to match the lippies. Now on having them I kind of agree. I got colours that are neutral as well as dark to match in with the darkest lippy I have.
I like how they are mini versions of the lippies. Same simple packing with the colour pained on the ends so it's easy to find the colour you need. Love how they are skinny at the end you apply. Means it's easy getting to the edges and the cupids bow of your lips. I thought they were the same as the lippies that you twist to pop the colour up, after tried hard to twist lots I Realised it's a sharpened one which is fine.
These glide on easy and way more nicer than normal pencil liners. I think these are a must have in everyone's makeup collection even if you don't have the lippies. They will fit with any lippy. They do have long staying power so make sure you keep a eye out if your lippy comes off before the liner
