Alleyoop's 'Pen Pal' is Modeled After a Multi-Color Retractable Pen

— August 20, 2019 — Fashion
From markers that remove nail polish to lip crayons, a variety of cosmetics have taken cues from the design of popular writing utensils—including the Pen Pal from Alleyoop. The shape of the four-in-one click pen could easily be confused for a multi-color retractable pen but it works as a space-saving product for one's makeup bag.

Pen Pal helps to clear up a ton of space on the go, as it packs a Jet black eyeliner, Lit shimmer highlighter, Pout mauve lipliner and Grind, a coffee-colored eyebrow filler and eyeliner within its slim, nostalgic form.

Knowing that many consumers are looking to simplify their lives as a whole for more clarity and less overwhelm, brands like Alleyoop are offering space-saving, multi-tasking designs that are as versatile as they are affordable.
