I tried Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner for the first time and I must say, for
$3.50 this was quite a deal. I am extremely picky about my lip products…
Glosses can’t be too thin because they don’t last long. Lipsticks
can’t have that odd smell some unfortunately still do. Lip liners
can’t be too dry because they tug on the lips and it’s nearly
impossible to get the shape you want when they behave that way. So lip products
not only have to be somewhere in between mediocre and wonderful, they have to
be perfect or darn close. This lip liner is darn close.
At first use, the pencil is perfectly sharpened and ready to go. And many times
when using a pencil for the first time, lip or eye, I’ve noticed it needs
one or two applications to “get going”, but not this one. It glided
very smoothly without being too creamy for a pencil, and I got the perfect
shape without having to edit at all.
Rimmel claims this lip liner is transfer-resistant, which it is to some extent
but I don’t know if it would last 10 kisses, let alone 1000. Nonetheless,
I still enjoyed using it very much. Depending on the look I’m doing, I
either just line the lips and slightly come in a bit with the color so that the
product I place over it stays all day OR I line the lips then color them in
entirely with the liner. I generally do the latter technique when doing a dark
lip or a red lip to ensure the color stays on the lips and does not bleed or
feather. This time I simply lined my lips and brought it in two to three lines.
Since I chose a color very close to my natural color, I was able to apply a
similarly colored gloss right over it and called it a day. The liner lasted
through 3 touch-ups of gloss, and I’m sure it would have stayed even
longer had I worn it with a lipstick between the liner and gloss or even a
lipstick alone.
The selection was slim, with about 5 colors, but definitely worth the few
dollars. 4 stars. |
