Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Precision Glide Lip Liner "Sugared Kiss 09"

Elizabeth Arden introduced this new lip liner pencil to coordinate with their new Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipsticks that came out this Fall.  These lip pencils deliver long-lasting wear and come in a variety of beautiful colors.  

Sugared Kiss #09 is a plummy-bronze color with a hint of shimmer.  It's very pretty and will work great with my Fall lipsticks.  

These pencils are excellent quality and I love the new packaging.  I will say however, that I don't particularly care for the sharpener and blending brush that is on the opposite end.  While the "rubber" blending tip is unique, I just don't find that it blends the lip pencil very well, and it's a bit rough and harsh.  

Also, when you remove the cap on the blending side, the sharpener comes off easily--so it's a bit of an annoyance.  I would have rather just had either a blending brush OR the sharpener.  Not both.  

All-in-all, these are excellent lip liner pencils.

Strange and awkward design -- the opposite end of the pencil has a sharpener AND a blending brush, which is "rubber" -- and when you go to take the cap off, the whole thing comes out.....kinda annoying.
