Yes, I bought the pencils - twice actually - and really like them. The liner side works well to prevent bleeding into lines around lips. This liner feels firmer - and stays in place better - than Lancôme and BobbiB which I also use. The fatter side can be worn alone for a very plumping, natural look. It also makes a terrific base for lipstick or gloss. Mally suggested joining across the bow and it seems to work well for me also. All in all, these would be one of my favourite Mally products that actually live up to the hype. I await delivery of the tsv with some trepidation now as I was sold in the blusher in the demos!
