Express is the right word to describe this lipstick. It looked more like a wide pencilled lipliner to me when I saw it first on the department store shelves. Later I realized that this was a regular lipstick. It's nice and dry and won't smudge if applied in a proper way. You really don't need a lip liner to start with before applying this lipstick. it comes ina range of 10 different shades. Even other brands have introduced lipsticks like this express one in a stick and there is really nothing innovative or great in this Maybelline lip express. If you are a big fan of Maybelline, you might as well add this to your showcase of other ...  Read the complete review

Another impulse buy, this - what is it with me and lipsticks? I cannot pass a counter without trying all the latest colours, and inevitably buying one that's practically the twin of one I already have at home... Oh well, at least they're not too expensive, so my bank manager hasn't come chasing me just yet. I have a love/hate relationship with this product - it's basically a lipstick and lipliner in one chunky pencil (hence the 'express'). I've never really bothered with lipliners, so this wasn't my reason for buying it, I just loved the colour (I chose 'Berry Quick'). I was quite impressed, upon the first ...  Read the complete review

I have a few of these Maybelline lip express lip pencils. I had had them for a while before I actually started using them. They are meant to be both lipliner and lipstick all in one. The one I will review is called 'Rocket Ruby' and is a dark red colour. ~ Price and availability ~ These pencils have become quite difficult to get hold of as Maybelline have now discontinued them. They are available brand new on Amazon and ebay for around £4.00 in a variety of shades. ~ Design ~ The pencil is about one centimetre in diameter, which is quite thick for a lip pencil and I have to use a larger sharpener when this pencil needs to ...  Read the complete review

In theory, Maybelline Lip Express is a great idea, in practice, I'm not convinced. A Lipstick N' Liner in one! It's been done many times before, by many beauty product Houses, and I've bought them many times before, and always been slightly disappointed. Something has to give if two products are combined. I get the effect claimed by Maybelline in my own way. I use my usual lipliner pencil to outline and fill in. This way I don't get that dreadful pencilled look round my lips, but one overall colour. I then slick my lips with a gloss/shine/moisturising lipstick in the same shade, and voila,a mouth that will stay on through ...  Read the complete review

I don't tend to buy lipstick anymore; I hate lipliner, and the lipstick gets wiped off on a tissue, glass, cup or it smears on my boyfriend's face. I'm trying to give it up. The only thing I found that didn't do the above was Colourings all in one in a stick; you could use it as eyeshadow, blusher of lipstick...I was just a bit disappointed with the choice of colours. I bought Lip Express and received a free gift; I was impressed. Also, there was about 10 colours to choose from. That was 18 months ago and I've barely used any although i've worn it loads. It doesn't wear or smudge or come off and feels nice and dry on. So try ...  Read the complete review
