On a hunt (review Primark: PS lip liner pencil)

Lipsticks and lipliners are my weaknesses. However, I do not like to spend too much on them, especially not on the latter! Passively I am thus always on the hunt for the best budget liplipers I can find, in a selection of nude/mauve/light pink colors. When I saw these PS lipliners for only €1,50 each at Primark I once again caved in. I only saw four colors available (pink, mauve, brown, and red). Aside from the pink one, named 'light pink', the pencils are nameless.

For sake of reference, I will just refer to them as mauve, pink, and brown (from top to bottom). Swatching them they feel slightly creamy on the skin and they show lots of pigmentation.

I prepped my lips first with Kiko's lip exfoliator and some vaseline. Then I applied the pink color first, and put some lipstick on top.

The pink color lipliner was rather coral on my lips, which was a pleasant surprise! The product was not as creamy during application, and especially the inner part of my lips was a bit tedious to fill in. Definitely not a lipliper you can quickly fill in your lips with completely. But easy to work with for lining them solely!

The last color was definitely the hardest to work with. After I fully colored my lips with it, my lips looked and felt a bit leathery for some reason. My lip creases were unfortunately very visible.

Final conclusion; I really like them! Although they are not the easiest to work with, I think the colors look gorgeous by themselves (especially pink and mauve). Because they do not smudge very easily, I will probably wear these without any lipstick on top.

Pros

♡ The price is great!

♡ The shades are very pretty and not too standard

♡ They do not smudge easily

Cons

♡ A bit too dry to easily fill in your lips with

♡ Limited color selection
