Years ago, Body Shop used to do stuff called 'lip ink', which was basically a felt-tip pen for lips. It was brilliant - easy to put on, didn't transfer onto clothing or other people, and gave great depth of colour that lasted for ages. Also great for that deliciously wanton 'lipstick? me? I've just been eating blackberries' stained look.

That looks much better than the Benetint which is my usual default when I can be bothered to do make up at all.

Superdrug here I come...

I would love this product if it wasn't made by Proctor and Gamble and tested on animals:

Maybelline have a similar one, but again they're not safe either... Mind you, Stargazer do 'tattoo pens' - I might have a go with them on my lips and see what happens. :-)

If there were a not-tested-on-animals version that was cheaper, I would definitely buy it!

Do Stargazer not test on animals then?

[alixandrea]

Nope :-)

If you can afford it (and a little goes a loooong way) there's always Urban Decay:

Was trying to remember who used to make them, can remember exactly what Body Shop one looked like now, cheers!

Yeees!!! I still have my old Body Shop one, with a little bit of life left in it.

I really hope they introduce more colours to the range!
