Where: Exclusively at Priceline
Yay! It’s been a while since I did a Local Luxe entry 🙂 I should have a couple more in the pipe line coming soon~
One thing I love about Savvy by DB are those cheap bins you sometimes see around Priceline, where every product goes got $2.99 each 🙂 The lipliners were one of them, so I snapped some up. I actually don’t really use lipliners for lining my lips, I use them for giving my lips some colour, whilst topping them off with either my lip balm or semi-opaque gloss.
Despite Savvy by DB’s great Eye Liners, I think their lipliners fall short 🙁 I found them almost painful to use unless I “pre-heated” them (lying them next to a heater before hand) since the pencil was naturally very stiff / hard, I had to really go over my lips several times to get any level of pigmentation. And when I did, it left my lips feeling very dry 🙁
The exception should be Cosmos, it was one of the liner that applied pretty smoothly, but given I’m more a Natural personal, I can’t see myself using Cosmos daily.
Still with either a gloss or lipstick applied over, this stuff gives great pigmentation and long lasting power 🙂 So maybe if you can be bothered to pre-heat them, it might be worth a go. But personally, I’d rather the MAC lip pencils, which just glide across my lips.
I love the Savvy by DB luxury liners!! Have been curious to try their lip liners as well, but I’m thinking I may just give them a miss now. Thanks, great review darls 🙂
Woo! Their luxury liners are amazing 🙂 Too bad I can’t say the same for their lip liners 🙁 Glad that helps! Help you save money to divert to other makeup 😉
thanks for the review, i’ve been wondering how the lip liners are but i’ve not bought anything because i have too many. now i know to stay away 🙂
my favorite product from the $2.99 savvy by db bin are the liquid eyeliners. i wonder how they are compared to the ‘normal’ savvy by db liquid eyeliners which are a bit more expensive.
Yay! So glad I could help 🙂
I haven’t tried the liquid liners before, but now you’ve got my curious 🙂
