Makeup Magic Monday: CQ Smartliner Lip Liner--Bargain!!

For years, I have used MAC lip liner in Spice--it goes with literally everything and matches highly pigmented lips perfectly. Still, $13 for an everyday lip liner seemed high, so I decided to track down an inexpensive lip liner.

Enter the CQ Cosmetics Smartliner in Dusty Rose #3. The color is so close to MAC's Spice, I couldn't believe it. The color stays, doesn't feather, and goes on smoothly.   

NEGATIVE: If you turn it too much, or press too hard, the tip breaks off. Still, at approximately $2.50 from my local WalMart, it's a bargain for everyday.
