Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a man with a magic box. Nobody knew much about this man, except for the fact that he always carried around a small, wooden box wherever he went. The villagers were curious and fascinated by the mysterious man and his box. One day, a young boy named Timmy approached the man and asked, "Excuse me, sir. What do you have in that box?" The man smiled warmly and replied, "Ah, my young friend, this is no ordinary box. It is a magic box that holds the power to fulfill any wish.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).
Smiley sends Guillam to purloin crucial documents from the Circus, while he visits ex-colleagues Connie Sachs, former head of personnel, and Jerry Westerby, who was duty officer on the night Prideaux was shot. The illusion of mastery Thomas Elsaesser puts the case for the Fritz Lang s Dr Mabuse trilogy as a radical critique of surveillance culture January 2000.
It is a magic box that holds the power to fulfill any wish." Timmy's eyes widened with excitement. He had always dreamt of having extraordinary powers or a bag of unlimited sweets.
Make Up For Ever 14 Dark Brown High Precision Lip Pencil Lip Liner Review
Today, I will be sharing with you my Make Up For Ever lip liner buys. I used to be a low maintenance girl in the lip department, one swipe and go, but now, I realize the importance of lip liners. Not only do they give your lips great definition (and for those like me who have thinner lips an opportunity to make them appear bigger courtesy of over-lining) and prolongs the wear of lipsticks. MUFE recently released their new “high precision lip pencils,” which are different from their regular line of “aqua lips” lip liners. I have 3 shades from this line and today, I will be sharing with you a review on shade #14 (Dark Brown).
Product Description:
A neutral shaded lip pencil to line and contour lips with intense precision and accuracy.
What it does: This slim and sharp High Precision Lip Pencil lets you draw perfectly and define precisely for the most pro-looking definition and contouring. The collection of neutral shades was created to shape and contour lips while also keeping lipstick in place. The easy-control formula glides on effortlessly with ultimate comfort and precision and blends in so naturally that you notice where the pencil ends and the lipstick begins. Ideal for precise lining or over lining to create the illusion of fuller lips, this makeup artist’s tool comes in eight neutral shades that define a perfectly natural lip line and improve your lipstick wear in one sharp sweep.
Price:
$18
My Experience with Make Up For Ever 14 Dark Brown High Precision Lip Pencil Lip Liner:
Packaging: These lip liners come in a sharpenable wooden pencil. Over time, I have come to appreciate such pencils over retractable ones because I have had many liners dry out on me and you do not face that issue with sharpening pencils. Above all, you can always be sure to get a sharp point when you need one. Use a good sharpener from a branded company (I find Urban decay grindhouse to be a great option) and you will find you won’t waste that much product. The tip of this pencil never breaks on me during sharpening.
Texture and Feel: These lip liners are truly the creamiest I have every used. Very emollient and smooth, they almost feel like a creamy lipstick. They do not tug at all and apply evenly over the lips. I find these to be quite forgiving even on my dry lips, on days, when I feel a little lazy and skip the whole exfoliating process. These sit extremely comfortable on my lips without making my lips parched and they do not emphasize lines or texture on my lips. I find any lipstick that I apply over the top, to go on smoothly, even liquid lipstick. The emollient nature of this lip liner creates a sort of a faint moisture barrier between my lips and an overtly drying lipstick.
Shade and Finish: There are only 8 shades available for this product right now. Shade #14 is a dark brown with a hint of warm reddish tone to it. I find this to be a very flattering color even to wear on its own. This lip pencil has a slight satin finish, not an absolute matte like most lip liners.
Pigmentation: 100% color in 1 swipe. No complaints here.
Staying Power: Due to the creamy and emollient nature, I don’t find these to be as long wearing as my other lip liners (namely the MUFE Aqua lips range). They stay for 6 hours with some snacks and drinks before I notice fading and they almost disappear after a full meal. Not the best lasting power on its own, but does improve somewhat depending on what lipstick you have layered over it.
Overall, I absolutely adore these creamy lip liners and wear them on the regular. They might not have the best staying power, but for the way these sit comfortably on my dry lips, more than makes up for that, especially during winter season when my lips revolt against me time and time again despite providing the best care.
I would recommend these only if you are okay with the fact that these are more like a creamy lipstick in a liner format than an actual budge-proof, long-wear lip liner.
Pros of Make Up For Ever 14 Dark Brown High Precision Lip Pencil Lip Liner:
- Very creamy and emollient.
- Sits comfortably on dry lips.
- Does not emphasize lines on lips or dry patches.
- Opaque pigmentation.
- Beautiful array of neutral and wearable shades.
Cons of Make Up For Ever 14 Dark Brown High Precision Lip Pencil Lip Liner:
- Not the best lasting power. Tends to fade faster than other lip liners I have used.
IMBB Rating:
4/5
Eagerly, he asked the man if he could see a demonstration of the magic box. The man nodded and carefully opened the box. To Timmy's astonishment, a beautiful butterfly fluttered out and danced in the air, leaving a trail of radiant colors behind. The boy was mesmerized by the magical display. Over time, word spread throughout the village about the man and his magic box. People from far and wide came to witness its wonders. Many sought to have their wishes fulfilled, and the man used his magic box to bring joy and happiness to everyone who approached him. However, the man was wise and understood that true happiness came from within. He would often remind those who came seeking their desires that the most important thing in life was to be content and grateful for what they already had. As the years went by, the man with the magic box continued to travel, spreading happiness wherever he went. He became a legend, and people admired his selflessness and compassion. He used his magic box to heal the sick, feed the hungry, and bring smiles to the faces of those who had lost hope. But one day, the man realized that the power of the box was fading. The magic was slowly dwindling, and he knew that it was time for him to pass on his legacy. He found a young girl named Lily, who shared the same kindness and compassion that he possessed. The man with the magic box handed over his precious possession to Lily, saying, "Take this box and use it wisely, my dear. It is your turn to bring joy to the world and make a difference in the lives of others." And so, Lily embraced her new responsibility with grace and humility. She understood that the real magic was not in the box itself, but in the power of kindness, love, and selflessness. With the man's guidance, she continued his mission, making the world a better place one wish at a time. And thus, the legend of the man with the magic box lived on, reminding people that true magic lies not in possessions, but in the generosity of the human spirit..
