I am not a fan of lip liners simply because I've always thought that it's just an additional step when it comes to makeup application. This is actually the first time I will be featuring a lip liner on my blog. On my recent trip to Muji, I was disappointed because their skin care line is incomplete and I was told they weren't sure when the stocks will arrive. And I felt the need to buy something so my trip there won't be a total fail and their Wooden Lip Liner in Pink is one of the two things I got.
It is a very pretty rose-pink shade that can instantly brighten up the face. I like that it is not a rose shade that makes me look older. The texture is creamy and not dry unlike other lip liners I have previously tried as it goes on smoothly on the lips. It has some shimmers to it but just enough to add sheen on the lips even though it appears to be matte. I do not use this just as a lip liner but instead apply it all over the lips for a very lovely pink shade. I like the fact that it doesn't make me look gay. It lasts a long time, say, for a couple of hours or so, even after eating and drinking. It may seem expensive at first for Php 295 but I must say it's going to be worth every cent since it will last a long time. This is made in Japan too so if you also like cosmetics that are made in that country, do try this one. The only con I see is that you have to go all the way to BHS in Taguig just to get this and I didn't see other shades to choose from. Overall, it's something that I would say you should try if you love lip liners. I wouldn't mind repurchasing too.

ReplyDeleteGeishcharles, yes! There is one now in Boni High Street in Taguig. :P I didn't check out their foodies, went straight to the cosmetics section. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI have actually never tried MUJI cosmetics yet. But they're more expensive than drugstore.
ReplyDeleteAre they worth it?
Michelle, this is the first make up items I have purchased from Muji and I find this really nice. :P
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look drying nga. Sounds like a good one! :D
ReplyDeletegreat swatch. been looking for lipliners that aren't too expensive. it's a bummer that this is the only shade available. have you tried applying lipstick on top of it? thanks!
ReplyDeleteAya, it's not as drying as other lip liners. :P Of course, lip balm is a must. :D
ReplyDeleteMia, I've done that na. I just had to make sure that the lipstick is more on the glossy and creamy side para hindi cakey. :P
nice shade you got there...I am now starting to love pink-ish shades
ReplyDeleteAhne, pink lippies are love! They give a youthful vibe. :P
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any Muji product but I certainly would like to have one.
ReplyDeleteThe color is so cute and it suits you very well, Pammy! Cheers!

Hey Dawn, thanks! You should check out Muji soon. I heard their skin care line is nice and not so expensive considering they're made in Jap. I saw they have blushes too that resemble Shu's packaging but it's OOS. Bummer. :P
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard of this brand... glad to know it works well for you.
ReplyDeleteHollie, Muji is a store in Japan that's fairly new here in the PI. Sadly though, there is no branch in Cebu but I hope they branch out soon. :)
ReplyDelete*makes a mental note to pick this lip liner too because she doesn't have a single one on her makeup stash :p
ReplyDeleteSugar, you gotta try this. I think this'll be a nice lip liner to own for the very first time. :P
ReplyDeleteNice ang color on your lips ha? And the best part, lipliners last longer! Thanks for this! I've seen these around but didn't bother purchasing!
ReplyDeleteNikki, it has a decent staying power that's why I like it a lot. Go try it. :P
ReplyDeletelove Muji everything! great review :)
ReplyDeleteThe best advantage of wearing a lip liner is that it stays for a long time...sometimes longer than the lipstick.I like to read the reviews before hitting at the shopping ground.
