Up until pretty recently, lip products were one of my least favourite makeup items to buy. I don't like lipgloss, I'm not a fan of lip tints, and I really hate glossy, frosty or sheer finishes.
My go-to lip products were always a plain old matte (or liquid to matte) lipstick in a true red, a nude or a black.
I decided to pick up these lip liners from penneys simply because of the price - €1.50!
I have to say, I really didn't have high hopes for these, having been disappointed by more expensive ones in the past, but these things are freakin AMAZING!
Their staying power is extraordinary! They literally stay on for hours on end without needing touch ups or fading away. And if you pair these with MAC Prep and Prime Lip and your go-to lipstick on top, you are sorted and good to go for the whole day, no joke!

They only have a small selection of colours, (one or two pinks apart from the three colours pictured) but considering the price and the fact that they're penneys finest, that's hardly a tragedy.
Quality over quantity all the way!
Now, I have chronically dry lips, and it doesn't matter what balms or creams I put on them, they are always dry, and as gross as it is, many lipsticks and lip liners will actually make my lips begin to peel within a half hour.
Not so with these guys!! They're not ridiculously creamy, which is something I appreciate because I associate creaminess with feathering, but by no means are they hard, nor do they tug on the lips. They're just the perfect consistency and so opaque!

I think, even with the limited colour selection, there's bound to be one for you because all the the shades are just so different. And sure for €1.50 I promise you, you can't go wrong! I can guarantee you, I won't be buying another MAC lip liner in a shade similar to these, because there's just no reason to anymore!
If you have a penneys near you, and you have lips, you need these!
