I've always, somehow, depended on blogs and/or reviews of other people when it comes to cosmetics. Before buying anything, unless it's completely out of whim, I check out product reviews. So you can just imagine my disappointment when no one seems to have used or tried the next item on my list. The decision is still 100% mine, but it helps to have an extra/second opinion. I think. =)
So bear with me, as I try to help others, like myself, who are in dire need of second opinions on their much-coveted beauty items.
So the first item on my list is Herbench Paintbox Semi-Permanent Eyeliner. Believe me when I tell you that I've used a lot of eyeliners, from pencils to pens. Some of them are actually quite good but are no match against my occasionally-watery eyes and my hands that rub quite hard..=) So at the end of the day, I end up wearing no eyeliner, even if I did. And this is probably the only product that really swears by its "semi-permanent" tag.
Price: 88 Php
Colors: Brown and Black
The swatches (R: Brown, L: Black)
The product is about an inch and a half long. Black cap for the black and brown for the, well, brown. For a perpetual user, if you're not an eyeliner-pen klutz like I am and you won't break it, it'll last for about 2 months or so.
Pros:
1. It really is semi-permanent. Unless you're going to scrub it really, really hard, it's bound to stay for a long time.
2. Highly pigmented. The black is jet black and the brown is chocolate brown
3. Glides on smoothly
4. Affordable. For 88 bucks, I say it's worth it.
Cons:
1. Like I said semi-permanent so sometimes when I wash up at night, I wake up in the morning with dark eyeliner circles around my eyes. It takes forever to remove. I swear. Haven't tried a eye make-up remover though.
2. It breaks easily, but it's usually the case when it comes to eyeliner pens.
3. The name easily gets erased! Since the casing is plain plastic, I mistake it sometimes for a colored pen, you will too. (I hope it will get a fancy casing soon.)
So how did I do in my first review? =) Shoot me a message, a comment or a request review. If I had used it, I'll tell you what I think and what I went through with it. =) Thanks! Cheerio!
