Last week I was reading one of the many fashion/style/life magazines that I enjoy browsing through (and yes, sometimes reading the articles...) and came across a piece about Jennifer Aniston.  It was a short question and answer of things Jen likes and what she uses.

I love trying out what others recommend.  Sometimes I get lucky and it works for me as well, other times it's a waste of time and money.  Not in this case.  I'm really pleased with this pencil, probably one of the best I have used, and I agree with Jennifer...this colour does work with everything.  Until trying the Estee Lauder, I'd been using MAC Spice lip liner for years and it was great.  Until I tried this and saw the difference.

As we age our skin changes our hair changes and what once looked good on us can also change.  For me, going with the more pink toned Fig has been a less harsh look and a less pronounced look than the brown Spice.  The pencil glides on smoothly and there is no sharpening of the pencil required.  Twist and go.  The round tip on the pencil also means a soft outlining rather than the stark lines that can come with other pencils.

The pencil has a brush at the opposite end which stays in it's pointed shape and I love that.  You can use this brush with any brand of lipstick or gloss, wipe clean and you are ready to go again.  It means packing less in your make up bag with this multi use tool.

The package also comes with a refill pencil and refills are easily purchased at the Estee Lauder counter.   Cost?  I paid $23 US at Macy's in Buffalo and I expect this will last me for some time.  I generally use a lip pencil at least once per day. 

I enjoy talking about style, fashion and design and I enjoy sharing products I have found whether it is by design or by accident.  Perhaps I'll make this a regular weekly feature, a Style Monday section.
