Review and Swatches: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Envious

Hello!

Do you love the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils? Do you wish there was an equivalent product for your lips? You've got it! Today's review is on Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Envious. I have to admit, I prefer eye look + gloss rather than lip look + barely-there eye makeup, so I don't have need for lipstick or lip liners all that often. I did go through a red lipstick phase, and it might just be creeping back up on me, so I decided to start testing out lip liners.

Here's the spiel:
"Smooch. Pout. Smack. Nibble. Lick. 24/7 stays put through everything (yes, EVERYTHING) you do. When you use our liner to fill in your lips completely, it primes them for lipstick or gloss, grabbing on to color to help it last.

Part of the 24/7 family, our long-lasting, waterproof formula glides on smoothly, stays creamy and defines your lips with gorgeous color. And unlike a lot of waterproof pencils (we won’t name names), 24/7 never feels dry or cakey. Moisturizing vitamin E, jojoba oil and cottonseed oil nourish your lips every time you reapply."

Review:
  • Packaging: it's a wooden, sharpen-as-you go lip pencil. I have to admit I like the twist-up lip and eye pencils better- you don't waste product, you don't accidentally break them as easily and there's no chance a shard of wood is going to irritate your eyes or lips.
  • Colour: Envious is a reddish plum.
  • Pigmentation: Highly pigmented, this is opaque in one swipe.
  • Texture: Smooth.
  • Application: Good, it glides on easily and doesn't tug.
  • Longevity: This lasted 4.5 hours (drinking and light eating) without a problem. I wore lipstick over it and only after 5 hours did the centre start to look lighter than the edges. Even then, it hadn't bled or smudged. It didn't feel dry, either. After 7 hours there was some bleeding (very light) at the top lip and the lipstick had worn away a fair bit.
  • Cost: USD$16 each.
Final Verdict: A
Smooth, long-wearing lip pencil.
