Rhone started a new lip pencil called the Pepper Peptids – the border lip shamner ($ 24 each). I really liked teasers and as a huge neutral fan I was very excited to try them. I shared a test in action here and I was really surprised by the comments! The feedback was very mixed and since I tried them for almost two weeks, I finally have my criticism.
THE Peptide shape It’s a creamy twist up lip product that I would say is between a lip and chubby stick. The formula is creamy and slips with a very smooth application, but it has a semi-fold finish.
I think the colors are so beautiful, but only a few works for me. The lighter neutral is so difficult for me to wear because I have a darker tone and while many look so good in my hand, they end up looking bad or drying on my lips because of the contrast (ie the Crème Cup, the Baltic and Myth or Tom Ford Blush Nude).
Shades I took out:
- Turn It’s a peach beige brown
- Twist is a neutral light brown
- Lift It’s a light dusty pink
- Lunge It’s a pink beige tanning
- Type It’s a pink purple tone
- Lean It’s a medium brown
- Balance coffee caramel
The biggest complaint I saw was about the constant power and semi -expressed with the rants that met with comments and messages about them. These are not pencils for long -wear lips, and I think most of you frustrated are awaiting that this is like a lip investment. The texture of the shape of the peptides is softer and the pigment/texture is not dense as a pencil, so it is more like a pencil lipstick. They are designed to be more like an outline and not as a certain.
Taking this, permanent power is not the best, but they certainly do not disappear immediately. If I wear them all over the rim, they fade the fastest in the center of the lip, but remain around the edges for a long time.
I really love the idea and the idea, but I don’t like the formula. Also, I don’t hate them. I like these best when they finish with a sheen. If I had to order my order, I would only get the Lunge and Press. I can make others work with an additional gloss, but this makes them higher maintenance than I would like.

So the bottom line, if you ask me is worth the market? I would say it’s okay, but there are better guys out there and I prefer a regular pencil lips from a plump stick. I think the Sketch Ilia Lip for a similar idea is better, but I wasn’t a huge finish fan. Pat McGrath Dramatique Lip pencils are much better for constant power, but they also pull matte and I think I generally feel better with a glossy lip against something matte. Chanel had the most incredible lip lip back a day, since then they have stopped it, but it was the best lipstick I tried.
You can find the Peptide shape now in Leather skin.
