I'm talking about the Ioni Lip Pencil in True Brown! I know, I know, Dollar Tree makeup can be hit or miss, but this lip liner is definitely a HUGE hit.
I picked up a few of these LIP PENCIL beauties on a whim, mainly because I’m always on the hunt for affordable, good-quality browns, and the 'True Brown' shade just called to me. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The shade itself is this gorgeous, rich, almost universally flattering reddish-brown. It’s not too dark, not too light, and honestly, it’s perfect for defining your lips or even filling them in completely for a full-on matte look.
What really blew me away was the formula. The packaging highlights 'LONG LASTING', 'CREAMY', and 'MATTE FINISH,' and it delivers on all fronts. This isn't one of those dry, tugging lip liners that make your lips feel like sandpaper. From the first swipe, you can tell it's incredibly creamy. It glides on so smoothly, making it super easy to get a precise line without any effort. It’s also pigmented enough that you don’t need to go over your lines multiple times.
After applying, it sets to a beautiful matte finish. But here's the best part: it doesn't feel drying at all! I think it’s because it’s formulated with amazing ingredients like shea, murumuru, and cocoa butter. These nourishing butters really help keep your lips feeling comfortable throughout the day, which is a huge bonus for a matte product, especially at this price point. I’ve worn it for hours, through coffee and snacks, and it truly is long-lasting. It barely budges, and I haven't experienced any feathering or bleeding, which is crucial for a good lip liner.
For my lip combo lovers out there, this Ioni True Brown Lip Pencil is a dream. I love using it to line my lips, slightly overdrawing for a fuller look, and then pairing it with a nude gloss for an everyday vibe. Or, for a bolder look, I’ll fill in my entire lip with it and then dab a slightly lighter brown lipstick in the center for an ombre effect. It also works beautifully as a base for other lipsticks, making them last even longer. It’s so versatile!
Seriously, if you see the Ioni Lip Pencil True Brown at your local Dollar Tree, grab it! Or better yet, grab a few. For just a dollar, you’re getting a high-quality, long-lasting, creamy, matte finish lip liner that feels way more expensive than it is. It's quickly become one of my favorite makeuptips for getting a polished lip without breaking the bank. Let me know if you’ve tried it and what your favorite lip combo is with it!
