Dual Lip Gloss and Liner

A dual lip gloss and liner set can save you oodles of time when you want to look gorgeous!

Shiny lips, great style!

There are several benefits to having a dual lip gloss and liner set. Some of these advantages include:

What could be more convenient than having your lip gloss and lip liner in one place? Not only are both these necessary products right there within your grasp, but it’s such a space saver with within makeup bags and handbags that are usually already incredibly crowded by all the other things you need to carry on a regular basis.

Another great reason to invest in a lip gloss and liner set are the different combinations you can employ. Here, you can use just a quick swipe of gloss for your current look, or you can fill the lips in with liner (for staying power) and then top with gloss for a terrific shine. Of course, you can wear the liner alone, but it may prove very drying for your lips in the long run.

Speaking of the long run, it may actually prove cheaper to buy these two products in a set, as opposed to buying them separately. That’s because lip glosses, particularly if you buy them at a high-end retail shop, like Sephora, can cost a pretty penny. Here, you’ll want to comparison shop, but if the numbers add up in your favor, then a dual set is the way to go!

Unfortunately, even though these dual lip gloss sets are the cat’s meow, it’s actually rather difficult to find one that contains a liner! Here’s what you can expect:

Model.com is the only website to offer a gloss and liner set in one, the Colourbox Gloss Kit, but what a set it is! The box itself is fairly small because the lip liner included here is more of a half pencil than a full one, but nonetheless, the convenience you are after is definitely found in this product.

The case contains a mirror, and two separate compartments; one to hold the liner and another for the gloss. The gloss within this case is reported to be very shiny, and the matching pencil comes with a retractable brush, so you don’t have to worry about those tell-tale lip lines. For $28.00, you can choose among five colors, including:

• Melon: similar to a pale peach
• Pomegranate: a clay-like pink
• Nectarine: an electric pink
• Plum: expect a deep brown pink
• Cherry: a bright fuchsia shade

At Strawberry.net, you’ll find Elizabeth Arden’s Double Intrigue Lipcolor]. While it’s true that there’s nary a liner to found with this set, you will get a two sided stick; one half contains richly pigmented lip color and the other, a glossy, high-shine, matching hue.

Here’s how you can usee this set in lieu of the gloss/liner set. Use the lipstick end as the liner; simply take the tip and outline your lips with it. After that’s done, fill in with gloss. Don’t forget to blur the edges of the line with your finger tip to create a "soft-focus" finish.

Also available at Strawberry.net is Lancôme’s Lip Liner contour Pro Sheer set. This set is worth investigating because it comes with a specially made liner/gloss that’s meant to serve as just that- a gloss that can function as a liner, a gloss, or both.

Lancôme claims that this dual pencil is meant to outline and/or redefine the lips, all while gliding on smoothly and evenly. There is also a brush tipped end for perfect blending. Available for $23.00.

The Nars lip gloss offered at Sephora doesn’t contain a liner, but it does feature a dual-ended container that holds two complimentary shades of color that are meant to be worn together, or separately. The beauty with this set is that one end is a ip stain, and the other is a gloss. Several shades are offered, including Kisses/Pampa and Moon Fleet/Indian Red, all for the price of $28.00.

In a perfect world, all lip glosses would come with a complimentary lip pencil (how else would gloss have any staying power?), but unfortunately, it’s not a perfect world. That said, there are several products available on the market today that can help in achieving a long-lasting, gorgeous, pout!
