I recently purchased a "NYX Slim Lip Pencil Creamy Long-Lasting Lip Liner" for $5 at Ulta. This is probably my favorite liner ever. It is creamy, glides along the lips, and long lasting. (Another plus - I love the color I got).
I bought MAC for years, but have stopped because of animal testing. I honestly like the NYX better than MAC.
The NYX pencils are made in Germany (at least the shade 'prune" is made there).
