A new release from BENEFIT COSMETICS with these They’re Real! Double The Lip ($20 @ benefitcosmetics.com)! Let's check 'em out... 

What It Is: This lip liner and lipstick in one features a Custom Teardrop Tip that grabs and defines your lip line and fills in lips with complementing color for the appearance of volume and dimension. This semi-matte lipstick comes in neutral to bright shades for visibility fuller, sexier lips.

My Take: After wearing almost all the shades the past few weeks, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t get them. First, isn’t having your lip liner darker than your lipstick a faux paus these days? None of the liner colors are subtle and is the liner really liner or just darkened lipstick? Seems like the liner is pretty soft like a lipstick so I’m not sure. So those two traits are my biggest complaint about these.

The lipstick quality is nice and creamy and all the colors are pretty wearable but they only lasted on my lips an average of 3 hours. And the packaging and scent of the lipstick itself (fruity) are nice but I don’t think these are worth the $20 price tag. Big pass.

Check out all 8 shades @ benefitcosmetics.com or get it as a set for $29 @ sephora.com.
