First Look: Hailey Bieber's Rhode Lip Liners - Worth the Hype?

Okay, so you guys know I'm a total sucker for a good lip product. I mean, who isn't? And when Hailey Bieber – Hailey Bieber – launches a makeup line, you know I'm gonna be all over it like white on rice. So, naturally, I snagged the Rhode Lip Liners the second they dropped. Let's dive in!

Unboxing and First Impressions: A Surprisingly Chic Vibe

The packaging is, dare I say, cute. Minimalist, but sophisticated. Not too flashy, just a clean aesthetic that screams "high-end" without being obnoxious. It feels luxurious, you know? Like, the kind of thing you'd want to keep on your vanity just to look at. The liner itself is a bit chubby – almost like a really refined lip crayon – and feels incredibly smooth. No harsh tugging or pulling, which is a HUGE plus for me. I've had some seriously bad experiences with lip liners in the past; this ain't one of them.

The Shades: Nude-Lover's Paradise (and More!)

Rhode launched with three shades: "Beloved", "Stir Crazy", and "Unreal." I got "Beloved" and "Stir Crazy." "Beloved" is a gorgeous, universally flattering nude that’s perfect for everyday wear. It's that "my lips but better" shade we all crave, right? "Stir Crazy" is a deeper, more rosy nude. I'm thinking this will be amazing in the fall and winter. I've heard amazing things about "Unreal," a bold, rich red, but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe next paycheck!

Swatches and Texture: Smooth Sailing

The texture is seriously dreamy. Super creamy and hydrating, not drying at all. This is a game changer for me, because I have seriously dry lips. Many lip liners leave my lips feeling parched and cracked, but these? Nope, not a chance. They glide on effortlessly and blend seamlessly. You can build the color up easily, too, going from a subtle tint to a more defined lip look. I've been using these liners both on their own for a natural look and paired with my favorite lipsticks. They're just that versatile!

Staying Power: Not a Full Day, But Pretty Darn Good

Now, let's talk longevity. These aren't going to last through a multi-course meal and a nightclub crawl – let's be realistic. But for everyday wear? They're pretty solid. I'd say you can get about four to five hours of wear before needing a touch-up, which is pretty darn good for a creamy formula. If you're eating or drinking a lot, you'll definitely need to reapply. That's just the nature of the beast with most lip liners, unfortunately.

The Verdict: Hype Justified?

Absolutely. These lip liners exceeded my expectations. I really love the creamy texture, the beautiful shades, and the sophisticated packaging. While the price point is a little higher than some drugstore options, the quality is noticeably superior. For those of you who are lip product fanatics like me, this is definitely worth considering. I will be adding the "Unreal" shade to my collection ASAP, I'm calling it now.

Tips and Tricks Based on My Experience:

• Exfoliate your lips: This ensures a smooth application and prevents the liner from catching on any dry patches. A simple sugar scrub works wonders!
• Prep your lips: Use a lip balm to hydrate your lips before applying the liner. This will help the liner glide on smoothly.
• Use a lip brush: For a more precise application, use a lip brush to apply the liner.

I know I've been raving about these, but honestly, they deserve it. Let me know if you've tried them! What did you think? What are your go-to lip liners? Let’s chat in the comments! And don't forget to follow me for more beauty reviews!
