Get These Luxe Wine-Red Lip Pencils For Less

Raid the drugstore for this HONOLULU Shops-featured look.

You know what they say: A glass of red wine keeps the doctor away. We are totally on board with that (pau hana anyone?)—especially when we're getting tipsy off the gorgeous, deep wine-red hues from fall/winter runway looks.

You'll definitely want to raise your glass to the rich, full-bodied Bordeaux, vibrant Merlot and blushing rosé pigments that will give your lips that kiss-me appeal. To get this tasting party started, we uncorked the latest issue of HONOLULU Shops, which hit newstands in Waikīkī this month, and took a sip of some of the luxe rouge lip pencils featured in its pages.

Looking to find a more affordable alternative? Cheers to that. In fact, we could totally drink up these drugstore libations that have just the right amount of rich red in similar convenient pencils. It's a grape way to get wasted on the latest trend while keeping your wallet safely sober.

In fact, we think it deserves a toast.
