Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil

How can it be that these pencils were introduced this Fall by Urban Decay, and I have yet to write about them!?!? Slacker extreme! Truthfully? Finally I feel truly, absolutely, positively ready to re-embrace lipstick. When painting an opaque mouth, you need more than just a lipstick. Hand-in-hand with that is stocking up on lip pencils!

Urban Decay's launched 22 new lipstick shades this past Fall, and I've raved about them endlessly… They were accompanied by 6 shades of 24/7 lip pencils, to help define lips and keep lipstick in place. Here's the thing.. the only pencil I've used to keep lipstick in place is Ozone, the totally transparent shade. I've been using the other shades of these super-moisturizing pencils as stand-alone lip color. They are as amazingly emollient, and have real staying power!

Now I've mentioned this already, but I'll say it again: be sure to check out the Grind House sharpener, too. In the past, I have had horrible luck with sharpeners. Some leave my pencils feeling jagged, others constantly break off the tip of the pencil before I even get to use it. The cleverly named Grind House does no such thing. My pencils are sharpened back to looking like new in an instant, and the cover keeps garbage from getting all over your floor.

Grind House retail is $8.
