Jane Iredale Lips Lipliner Lip Pencil Aubergine 1.1gr

When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I started looking for gluten-free lip pencils. (I'm at the age when I need a pencil for definition and to keep lip products in place.) These are great, They're not too soft or hard, apply easily, and blend beautifully. I set the blended line with a bit of powder on a Q-Tip, and it really helps to keep lipstick from bleeding. I purchased this product in Plum, Rose, and Spice (a non-orangey neutral) and find that they work with almost all my lip products. They also work great to fill in the lip as a base for gloss or balm. They do need sharpening, though. They're comparatively cheap for Jane Iredale at $13 a pop, and considering that I get a lot of use from each, they're a deal. I will repurchase. Update 5/27/17: I find myself using these pencils more and more. They're second only to MAC's in staying power, and they're slightly more creamy, which makes application easier. There are a great value for the price.
