Haus Laboratories RIP Lip Liner [Supermodel] Review
By Maychiri's Thoughts - December 28, 2022
So, after the first order of Haus Laboratories and seeing
how amazing the products were, I knew I had to get at least a couple more,
despite them being too expensive for me. So, I ordered one more RIP Lip Liner,
this time in the shade Supermodel. £12.5 for one lip liner is definitely too
much for me, but is it actually worth the price?

Packaging: it's fairly typical, just a black wooden pencil with
a coloured part on one end that matches the colour of the pencil perfectly. What
sets this liner apart from others is the cap. The cap has a unique shape: it’s
got a pyramidal top that is actually quite sharp! I like this design because it
looks so dramatic and edgy, and it stands out among all the other liners!

Ingredients: wow, only 6 Ingredients (if you are not
counting the colorants, that is)! Among those six, there aren’t any nourishing
ingredients nor parabens. Such a slim ingredients list helps make this lip
liner appropriate for even the most sensitive of skin types. The scent is
woody, like a normal coloured pencil. The expiration date is 12 months after
opening, although I can safely say that it can go for more than twice as long without
any changes to it.
If sharpened properly, this pencil is extremely precise, but
most wooden lip pencils are anyways. I do still think that I have an easier
time lining my lips with this pencil as the pigment glides amazingly easily
across lips without any tugging or pulling at all. Even if my lips feel dry and
chapped this liner glides without any pulling. There isn’t any smudging, even
when the tip is totally blunt! Although, of course, the sharper the tip, the
more precise the line! The formula is beautifully soft and waxy! This is one
of, if not the best, formulas that I have ever used in a lip liner! Even better,
despite feeling pretty soft, lining and filling my lips doesn’t use up that
much liner, so it lasts for a really long time! The pigmentation is extremely
intense and bold, and both feels and looks rich. This is a classic red lip
liner with a bit more cool undertones. This shade of red is just perfect for
any occasion, be it a formal or informal one and it looks spectacular on pale
skin! I kid you not, I don’t even want to buy other red lip liners because this
one is just absolutely the perfect red for me!

This is a super comfortable formula to wear for hours,
and it doesn’t end up drying much, if at all! Even under a face mask it is
still really comfy to wear and doesn’t get too dry! That of course means that
it also doesn’t dry out my lips one bit!

Lady Gaga specifically says that she makes sure all her
makeup products can last her an entire performance, and since her concerts are
terribly physically demanding, you know that she sets the highest bar for her
products' durability. And that is not just empty words, for once! The durability of this
lip liner is off the charts! There is no fading or smudging in the slightest
even after 8 hours of wearing it! And it is also waterproof, as advertised, as
there was barely any transfer on my water bottle.
It is also food-proof, how
much depends on how greasy or oily the food you are eating is, but it ranges
from totally to extremely. Like, I ate a greasy chocolate covered donut and
there wasn’t much fading in the centre of the lips, I only noticed it when I opened
my mouth and even then it was ever so slight. Although, to be fair, it does transfer if
you touch something with your lips (like, kiss someone). Still, it’s definitely
the perfect lip liner to wear if you need extreme longevity.

You might think that such an intense, rich red lip liner
would be difficult to remove and that it might leave a stain. After all,
red lip products have been known to leave stains occasionally! Yeah, that’s all
not true when it comes to this lip liner! It’s super easy to remove, be it with
micellar water or a specialised remover and it leaves no stains! Imagine my
surprise when I just swiped across my lips with a micellar water-soaked cotton
pad and it was already gone, without any stains! Phenomenal, just phenomenal!
And another positive thing: it’s extremely easy to sharpen!
I honestly don’t think I’ve had it break even once, and I have been using it a
lot!
Conclusion: Lady Gaga’s lip liners are fricking phenomenal,
and are well worth all the hype or praise they get. I know that, as a Gaga fan
myself, I was extremely hyped for her (then new) makeup line, but I didn’t expect
it to be actually extremely high quality! Expensive, high-end products can be
just as good (or bad...) as their cheaper counterparts but this liner deserves
this price! There isn’t a single bad thing I can say about it, so it’s no
surprise that it’s become my all-time favourite red lip liner! The colour is
just the perfect red, 'nuff said. It feels relatively soft but it is still
incredibly comfortable to wear and doesn’t dry out lips at all. The formula
just glides across lips and deposits pigment richly with even the slightest
touch. I love how it looks so luxurious with its soft, barely there shine. And
best of all, it’s endlessly long-lasting, and also waterproof and food-proof no matter
what you eat! Even removing it felt like child’s play, and took about... 5
seconds, maybe? So when Gaga says that it’s built to survive a concert
performance, you’d best believe it because she isn’t lying! I honestly don’t
think I will ever buy another red lip liner as long as I can keep buying this
one, it’s just that spectacularly amazing! If you can afford it, be sure to try
it out (especially in the US, where you can go to Sephora and see it in person),
I promise you won’t be disappointed! Absolute, top recommendation!
Rating: 10/10
Would buy again? Absolutely YES (despite being a bit too
expensive, perfection comes at a cost)
