I received this product as part of the
Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes eyeliner. I am
going to review the product as a whole, even though I only have it in the one
shade.
This product is a jumbo/chubby lip
pencil with a black plastic lid. It is just like the Urban Decay 24/7
eyeliners, but bigger. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to
clearly show the colour of each shade. Theodora
is a bright, creamy, glossy cherry red shade and is Limited Edition, but it is
part of the regular line and is instead called F-Bomb. You get 2.8g of product and it is full size. You also have
to sharpen it to dispense more product. The formula is smooth, creamy, glossy
and slightly tacky, but not sticky.
This product is supposed to give your
lips an opaque, saturated and pigment rich colour with a glossy finish. It is
also mean’t to be quite creamy so that it glides onto your lips. The product is
also said to contain plant derived ingredients, which help nourish and improve
hydration of the lips, as well as providing protection.
This product is definitely rich in
pigmentation and it gives a beautiful, opaque and saturated colour. Because of
the creaminess, the product glides onto the lips and provides of glossy finish.
The product is also kind of tacky in texture. It is not sticky like the average
lipgloss, but it is not as smooth as the texture of a lipstick. I haven’t
noticed it improving the hydration of my lips, but I’m guessing by how creamy
it is, that it does do something to improve moisture and protect. The colour
does fade when you eat and drink and it starts to fade to a light pink shade
and then starts to disappear from the inner parts of your lips, so you will
eventually be left with what looks like lip liner. However if you do not
consume anything, the bright colour lasts for around two hours.
Overall this is a great product, but I
do have some issues with it. Firstly, I think the product is too creamy because
when you apply it, it goes down very quickly because the warmth of your lips
really melts the colour and it is very messy, especially when you want to
sharpen it. I have tried keeping in the fridge overnight and it doesn’t really
make a difference. Secondly, I’m not very keen on lipgloss anyway and although
this is very different from the average lipgloss, it is still not quite a
lipstick. And lastly, the price is quite steep for what it is. Although I do
quite like this product, I will not be re-purchasing it!
