Review: Cargo's Reverse Lip Liner

I love lip gloss. The problem is that lip gloss rarely stays put. It ends up all around your mouth and your friends are then left to agonize over whether they should risk telling you or simply giggle at you behind your back.
I was recently at a Sephora store and I came across Cargo's Reverse Liner. Cargo claims that the Reverse Liner is made for lip gloss lovers because it blends in the skin, keeps gloss in place, and does this without feathering. Though I was a bit skeptical I took one home and tested it out.



Step 1. Line just outside the lip line.



Step 2. Blend the color into the skin outside the lips.




Step 3. Apply gloss




I am pleased to say that this clever little pencil actually does work. My gloss stays in place, it is easy to use, and it is small enough that adding it to my bag isn't a burden. Some people use a similar technique using a q-tip and some foundation but the convenience of this pencil-who carries foundation around with them?!-makes it well worth the $14.00.
