When I first heard about the lip pens from L'Oreal, I was sad I missed it. So when they brought it back, I had to grab some.

Thoughts: When I first saw this at the drugstore, I was extremely excited. I've heard great things about this line. I've heard it's one of the best lip pencils people have tried. What more can I ask for!
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it smells like every L'Oreal lip products. For that reason, I tend to avoid lip products from L'Oreal. This isn't as bad. It has the same distinct smell which I'm not a fan of, but it doesn't last that long. I would say I can smell it for couple of minutes. Then it disappears. For that reason, I can deal with this product. Secondly, this product is extremely creamy and goes on smoothly. I love how easily you can apply the product, and no matter what you cannot make a mistake. It's one of those lip products that's easy to apply without a lip liner and you don't have to worry about the edges. It looks perfectly applied. Third, I got the lightest color from the La Lacque line. If this color is opaque, I can imagine the others being really pigmented. Plus, it also doesn't have sparkles or glitters. It's a glossy, sleek color. Fourth, I love the color! It's one of those colors you can wear in daily basis that will look great with everything. Lastly, it lasted until I ate/drank.
Pros:
* Comes in a pen/cil form.
* Automatic.
* Smell doesn't linger.
* Creamy consistency and texture.
* Doesn't tug on the lips.
* Goes on easily.
* Cannot make a mistake applying.
* Opaque.
* No sparkles/glitters.
* Glossy.
* Lasted until I ate/drank.
Cons:
* Typical L'Oreal lip scent.
Would repurchase: Yes!
