Elizabeth Arden Metallic Lip Pencil – Pink Bikini Review

Heylo,

So, after the newspaper basket, I bring you a review. You thought it was another DIY? Good. You are right. My next post would be a homemade but ready-to-use facial scrub, but today, please hear me out as I write a review on a metallic pencil from Elizabeth Arden.  I got this online, don’t remember when and from where. It has been lying with me uselessly since a long time and I just realized it that it has not been reviewed on IMBB, so decided to write about it.

Product Description:

This gorgeous lip pencil glides on smoothly leaving an intense metallic shimmer colour that definitely stands out from the rest.

Price:

Approximately 3 GBP – I bought it for this price. Though its original price is around 7 GBP.

My Take on Elizabeth Arden Metallic Lip Pencil – Pink Bikini:

I cannot really say if I like it or not. I love the product as such except a few things, but I am not too happy with the color. Since I bought it online, I could not try the color, else I would not have bought it in the first place.  It is a subtle, light fuchsia kind of baby pink color. You can see the swatch. I don’t know what this pink color is called. Here are the swatches in different lights.

This is like a jumbo lip pencil that I believe will last for years for anyone. It has very minute shimmery, glittery particles and that is the first thing I don’t like about it. It leaves those particles on the lips and while they give a nice shimmer to lips, I hate when they show elsewhere on the face or even on the corners or the outline of the lips.

The color is a pretty shade though it does not suit me. I am wheatish/dusky and this shade makes me look pale but I am sure many beauties here would rock it! It stays for about 2-3 hours, but hey, it is highly moisturising. I was complaining to Rati the other day that I have got bad lips since the last 3-4 days. I think some lipstick caused allergy to me and today I applied this lipstick and I have not applied any balm yet. My lips feel good and soft. So, that is a HUGE plus and yeah it DOES NOT bleed, smudge or feel waxy at all.

I love it otherwise, but since, I can’t use it on the lips directly as it makes my face pale, I mix it with another dark pink color that I have and it usually works.  Overall, a nice product and I would recommend it to people who want this shade.

Pros of Elizabeth Arden Metallic Lip Pencil – Pink Bikini:

• Pretty pink shade.
• Glides on easily.
• Comes in a pencil form, so easy to handle.
• Gives a nice shimmer to the lips.
• Heavily moisturizing without being waxy, heavy, greasy or what not.

Cons of Elizabeth Arden Metallic Lip Pencil – Pink Bikini:

• This shade might not suit everyone.
• I personally don’t like the shimmer particles.
• Limited availability.

Overall Rating:

4/5 (1 mark less for the shimmers and the shade that does not suit me).
