Guess what…? There’s a Sephora VIB sale in November, so this week I’m highlighting some of my favorite makeup workhorses that I think are worthy of your wish list.
What crazy person carries the same ol’ lipstick around with them all the time? OH, WAIT! THAT’S MY LIFE NOW.
Since discovering the $28 Wander Beauty Lipsetter Dual Lipstick and Liners, I suspect that I could go days — no, weeks! — before feeling the need to swap out the lip products in my purse. (And this coming from a serial lipstick swapper is kind of a miraculous statement!)
Cruelty-free makeup line Wander Beauty preaches the power of portable, easy-to-use makeup to enhance what you’ve already got. It’s very Trish McEvoy-esque but hipper. They aren’t a huge brand yet, and they’re still flying under the radar at Sephora for now, but they make so many good things IMO, like these lip liner/lipstick combos, which are totally worthy of your VIB lust list.
First of all, they figured out that the secret to actually getting people to use lip liner is to attach it to a lipstick. They deserve a gold star and a slow clap for that because it’s the only way I’ll actually take a lip liner with me (otherwise, I’ll just line once in the morning and leave the pencil at home).
The liner itself is smooth, luscious velvet, and it’s loaded with pigment, and once you draw that line along the edge of your lips, your lipstick won’t go beyond it. “Ye shall not pass!”
Oh, and the lipstick? SO GOOD. It starts out shiny when you first swipe it on but eventually dries down to a velvet matte finish, and it feels so light that I sometimes completely forget I’m wearing lipstick. It’s also non-drying and budge-proof. I can even kiss babies (kittens, too), drink coffee and snack my heart out without it lifting off.
Lastly, it’s unscented, and there aren’t any weird flavors to get up in your grill.
I’ve been living for Bold in Beijing, a blue-based red, and having the liner attached completely removes the stress related to applying and wearing red lipstick. I also love On the Mauve, a plummy pink, which is an everyday color for me. With the VIB sale coming up, I also have my sights on Bahama Breeze, a nude pink, and bright pink Fucshia Class.
Full price, the Lipsetters are $28 each, which I think is still a good deal, but with the 20% VIB discount, they come to $22.40. With the 15% Beauty Insider discount, they’re $23.80.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Hi Karen, These are some beautiful colors. What do you say about the quality of the packaging?
Hi Smeegal9,
It’s great. Sturdy and weighty, and the caps stay on when I have them in my purse. 🙂 Got any other questions about the product? I’m happy to help!
Oh, that sounds like a brand worthy to have on your radar. I wonder if Sephora Germany carries them too.
Thanks for this recommendation. I’m so the same way, line in the morning and then leave the liner at home. Not sure why I don’t think of those slim little pencils as being portable and able to leave the confines of my house 🙂
I’m adding to my list!
Definitely adding these to my Sephora list! I hate having liners in my purse.
I’ve missed the blog so much! We have no internet, so I’m eating supper at Olive Garden, catching up on three weeks of posts and email with free WiFi, lol.
