My Experience with L.A. Girl Lipliner Pencil Pink Fleur:

Packaging: Starting off with the packaging of the product, it comes in a sharpenable pencil form but does not contain a sharpener in the packaging. These pencils have a color-coded band similar to the colour of the lipliner inside. The rest of the pencil is black in colour with the logo of the brand and the shade name embossed on it. The pencils look very sleek and travel-friendly. It has a black cap on top which closes tightly in place and hence it would not be a mess to carry it to places. The pencil comes initially sealed with a cellophane wrapper to prevent tampering with its packaging. It contains no significant details of ingredient list on the packaging which is a drawback of this packaging. The pencil breaks very easily if you put a little bit of pressure while using the liner. This leads to product wastage. I also feel that a sharpener should have been provided with the pencil. Overall, the packaging is very simple and travel-friendly.

Shade: The shade “Pink Fleur” is a beautiful pearly pale pink shade. It has slight shimmery finish to it. This shade looks quite washed out on Indian skin tones. I think it will suit fair skin tones and that too with great effort. Out of all the shades I have bought, this is my least favourite shade. I still can’t figure out with which lipstick I shall pair this lipliner. Also, it is not suitable for daily wear. This colour needs a lot of effort to show up on the eyes. Overall, I don’t think it was a good choice to pick this shade as a lipliner.

Pigmentation: The shade “Pink Fleur” has poor pigmentation. It is not that pigment packed and the colour looks very pale. It can’t conceal lip pigmentation properly. I have lightly pigmented lips due to sun tan. But it can cover that well. On my lips, it takes 5-6 swipes for a fuller coverage. The formula is buildable and adjusts well to layering. Overall, the pigmentation is poor but nothing groundbreaking. I am upset with the colour payoff of this lipliner.

Texture and Finish: The texture of this lip pencil is not creamy at all. It does not glide smoothly and causes slight pulling and tugging of lips. If your lips are dry and not primed well, the pointed tip of the pencil can hurt your lips. It is not that easy and comfortable to work with this lip liner. The formula is also not hydrating and can dry out your lips if you do not use a lip balm underneath.

I am quite disappointed with the texture of this lip liner. I just didn’t expect it to perform like this and that too coming from a famous brand like L.A. girl. They could have improved on the texture of the lip liner. Coming to the finish, it gives a drying matte kind of finish which can be a bit annoying. The lip liner contains no shimmer pigments in it and is completely matte. This lipliner makes your lips look patchy and highlights the fine lines very prominently.

You must exfoliate and prep your lips prior to applying this; otherwise the dryness and discomfort can surely ruin your day. It is advisable to moisturise your lips with a lip balm to keep them hydrated and healthy looking. I was thinking of using it as an eye liner as well, but now it is a big NO from me owing to its bad texture of course!! Well, I can’t hurt my eyelids for this.

Staying Power: The longevity of this lip liner is for about 3-4 hours on my lips. It can survive light meals but the colour looks faded. But, it fades away completely with oily meals. It needs complete reapplication after this, but this is quite messy since the formulation is not creamy and smooth. On primed lips, it lasts for 7-8 hours. Removing this lip liner is pretty easy. Use any normal makeup remover or wet wipes and it gets wiped off completely.

Overall: The colour “Pink Fleur” is a gorgeous colour for you if you have that pale fair complexion like foreigners. I think buying this was a big waste of money, so I shall definitely not recommend this to Indian beauties. However, If you are looking for a budget-friendly lipliner, this could be your pick.
