IN2IT Waterproof Gel Liner in Dark Brown

Hi. This product I'll be reviewing is actually my sister's. When she goes to school, the one thing she can't forget to put on is eyeliner. But one time, she asked me to look for an eyeliner that won't make her look like she's a panda by the end of the day. She also doesn't like anything that requires a brush so potted gel liners and liquids are a no-go.

After taking swatches of a lot of pen/pencil eyeliners, I came across this IN2IT Waterproof Gel Liner in Dark Brown.




The claims of the product.
Priced at around 380. But they have this 2 pcs for 500 promo. I don't know though if it's still up.





Pros:
1. Creamy and very pigmented
2. Very cute looking pencil design
3. Comes with a sharpener and it's also easy to sharpen because it's not your usual pencil material. It's sort of like a plastic
4. Really smudge-proof and waterproof after drying. The waterproof though only if it you run it through water but if you wet it then rub it, it'll come off.

Cons: 
1. If you want a really thin line, you probably won't be able to use this because it doesn't get sharpened and become really pointed. When you over sharpen it, it breaks. I suggest using an angled brush and running it through the tip
2. I find it quite pricey for an eyeliner, given the amount of product it has.

Have you tried this one? Lemme know. Cheerio!

Nichido Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx

Hi. Ever wished for a panda-eyes-proof, water-proof, creamy AND affordable eyeliner? I had one of those before (click here), but it was phased out or something. I've been through three pens of that and then none. Since then, I've been trying out a couple of eyeliners that wouldn't hurt the budget but none of them works as well.

I've heard about this Nichido Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx from bloggers Ms. Say and Ms. Donnarence. Although I know it's not really smudge-proof, I still decided to risk it and give it a try. Plus, I was taking advantage of Landmark's Cosmetic Fair.




Original Price is 138.00


I don't think It'll take me 24 months to finish this though.. =)




Like I said, not smudge-proof

The Verdict:

It's creamy and it glides on smoothly. It's very black too so it's good for tightlining. It's also easy to smudge out if you're planning on using it for a smokey-eye look. Easily removable by soap and water.

Here comes the "buts" though.

Despite it's claim to be water-resistant, I personally can't say that it is. Maybe because my eyes are watery. But then again, some gel liners still stay on me despite my eyes being watery. It also smudges. It's okay if you're into smokey-eye look, but if not, I don't suggest getting this. 

I think it's a bit pricey for an eyeliner, but it's one of the best ones I've tried so far, so I think I'll stick with this unless I come along something better. 

Any fave eyeliners? Lemme know. Cheerio!

Careline Color Pencil in Black

Hi guys. I don't usually find Mondays exciting, but since it's a free day, Happy Monday! I bought this a few days ago because I was looking for a good creamy kohl pencil to use for tight-lining my eyes. I was supposed to buy the one from Nichido, then I realized that the store near our place only carried Careline products, so I decided to give this Careline Color Pencil in Black a whirl.




 Pros:
1. Affordable at 55 Php
2. Very black color
3. Comes with an eyebrow comb if you're planning to use it as an eyebrow pencil

Cons:
1. Not creamy enough to be used in tight-lining
2. Not long lasting, smudges easily
3. Has a faint crayon smell which kinda bothered me
4. Color indicator can be tricky because there's no color written on the pencil except for the name. You might accidentally pick up the brown one, like I did the first time.

After testing this eyeliner, I guess I'll be trying others until I find a creamy one that'll suit my needs. =) 

Anyways, any suggestions for an eyeliner? Lemme know. Cheerio!
