REVIEW: Models Prefer Professional - Ultra Lipgloss Pencil

I bought myself an Ultra Lipgloss Pencil on a whim a few weeks ago when I was browsing through the Models Prefer Professional stand at Priceline so I thought I'd share my first impressions with you. I chose a shade called Perfectly Polished which is a golden terracotta.

Ultra Lipgloss Pencil (Perfectly Polished)

From the texture and wear of this chubby lipgloss pencil I'd say it's more of a glossy lipstick pencil than an actual lipgloss.  It's quite opaque and offers a lot of colour and coverage on the lips so you can definitely wear this alone instead of lipstick.  It's quite shiny on the lips but offers superior staying power and easily lasted me for a few hours (and my mid-morning coffee) before I felt I needed to top it up.   Bonus:  It doesn't bleed outside the lip-line, which is always a consideration for middle-aged me!

Pros:

• Great colour and coverage so a lipstick & gloss all in one
• Shiny but not sticky on the lips
• Doesn't bleed 
• Easy to apply with precision because it's a pencil
• No weird smell or taste
• Moderately priced at around $9.99AUD

Cons:

• Limited range of colours - 6 in all - and all are variations on red end of the spectrum
• You need to carry a pencil sharpener

Would I buy this again?
 Sure, I just wish they included some pink and nude variations in the range.

The Models Own Professional Series of products is available from Priceline stores across Australia.
