Lip Pencil

The staying power is non-existent. I don't know if this is a new formula, but I expected more from Essence. I've used their other lip liners and love how pigmented they are..these aren't that great. Also, I got 4 of these in different colors and most of them are all a different shade of mauve. NYX lip liners are way better and have more colors to pick from.

It is hard to imagine that ANY pencil could be this creamy, yet not thick or heavy on the delicate skin around the eye area. Once you've applied it you cannot feel any heaviness like some brands. I would not have believed it had I not tried it myself. It truly stays where you put it. I've even used the Taupe as a lip liner. It never pulls the skin or crumbles...it's just a super pencil. You have to try it. 

I have tried numerous other eyeliners from major name brand cosmetic lines. It is creamy not hard texture when applying and stays on all day. 

Double Dazzle is a very large, thick, two-sided eye-liner pencil with warm, glowy colors. One side is light, shimmery pure gold color, and the other is medium-to-dark glimmering copper. If you love a "sunkissed" or tropical look, you must - must - try this pencil! I use it for all kinds of looks, day and night, and it's extremely flattering. I have warm-toned, medium skin, green eyes, and dark auburn hair and this pencil enhances all the warm tones, while softening any sallow tones. The colors are perfect; highly concentrated, highly pigmented, creamy, and gentle. I can use this for many days in a row without sharpening it, which is rare for my pencils. I used BeneFit Gilded pencil for years and years, and I always thought of it as a product I'd have to hoard if it was discontinued. I've actually replaced it completely wiht Double Dazzle. It's beautiful, it has two different colors, it's really long-lasting, and the shades are magical for my appearance. Less

I bought this lip liner in "satin mauve" on a whim at Ulta, and I must say how impressed I was at what a great product this was for the price. It goes on smooth, very pigmented, and it's long lasting. It applies much softer than the regular NYX liner.
