Good morning everyone!!! I want to thank you all for the wonderful comments and comforting words! As expected Monday was a very tedious and tiring day but I survived it! And I ended my day reading your lovely comments which puts a big smile on my face...seriously, you all are the best :)
I will review a product that I snatched from dear friend Gracie, sis! thanks for this! I'm glad to have the chance to try this product coz I won't purchase it down here because I'm not a lipliner person! Glad to have tried this and glad to announce? I've used this a couple of times, lip liners are useful actually on those days you feel your lips aren't defined enough! :)

Pros
- inexpensive
- very pigmented
- staying power is good
- the liner isn't too soft nor too hard, just right!
Cons
- has a tiny hint of "crayon" scent
- not "hydrating", it actually felt dry on my lips just like regular lip liners
- can I add, DRY again? lol
Overall
If you are looking for a lip liner that's inexpensive and works, go for this! I have a MAC lip liner and the texture is different compared to MAC but the difference isn't too far. Lip liners are just lip liners, I don't always use lip liners anyways! This is a good inexpensive lipliner to try... PERIOD! :)
Tips
from ELF
Proper lip lining application should be performed prior to adding gloss or lipsticks. Gently shade upper and lower lip back and forth until color intensity is desired. Fill in entire top and bottom lips with pencil. Apply second coat if desired.
from AMW
- if you have super dry lips like mine, moisturize your lips prior to lipstick application, press your lips over a tissue paper to remove the "oil" and start applying the lip liner
- top over with your lipstick to create a nice base for the lipstick to last longer
Will I repurchase?
Yes!
