The item's quality is excellent, and the color selection is appealing. The pencil includes a sharpener. The pencil is on one end, and the lip brush is on the other. I used to carry the liner around with me, sometimes just to use the brush. I'm very pleased with it. However, it is a little pricey. It lasts a long time.

It is a good lip liner. Smooth then applied and stays for long time. The brush on the other end is good for applying lipstick and to smooth a lip line.

Little tips:
* Use the lip pencil all over your lips: it makes your lipstick last longer.
* Try using different lip liners under different lipsticks/lipglosses to achieve different colours/looks. Less expensive than buying new pricier lipsticks.

There are so many lipliners out there that claim to match one's natural lip color, but so far only the Christian Dior Rouge Contour Lipliner has achieved where M.A.C and Clinique both failed. The shade is called natural beige, and it is just slightly darker than my natural color.

It feels very smooth when applying. I also use it all over my lips as a base for a lipgloss. Not to mention the gorgeous packaging with the Dior logo all over it, and the golden lid and a cool blue box.

All in all, it is a winner in the lipliner category. I just wish it was cheaper!
