Lately I have been going crazy looking for my usual brand of eyeliner.
Revlon makes the best eyeliner pens I have yet to come across, and
apparently the rest of the world is aware of that, as they never seem to
have blackest black in stock.
Left with no other choice I decided to give L'Oreal's new Extra Intense, Liquid Pencil Eyeliner,
in the color black. Initially I thought that it was a twist up
application pencil, due to the fact that the way they had sharpened the
pencil. It had a sunk in effect, but when I opened the package, it was
actually just a pencil, which personally I never liked.
At any rate, the package basically said that it was to go on smoothly
like a liquid eyeliner pen would, and dry smudge proof and flawlessly.
I was just hoping that the color would be a nice deep shade of black,
and that it would stay put for the majority of the day, without having
to consistently re-apply it.
My Use:
Once home, I went ahead and gave the pencil a try. Granted it works,
and glides on easily as promised, it still felt much more rough than my
usual brand by Revlon. I also was not too thrilled with the smokey like
black color. I had to apply layer after layer in order to get the black
to really look black. It went on more like a charcoal color, which was
disappointing.
As far as calling this one a liquid eyeliner pencil, I'd have to
disagree. It feels just as an eyeliner pencil would. As far as calling
Extra Intense, Liquid Pencil Eyeliner- Black 'smudge proof', again I
would have to disagree. The eyeliner does smudge, and it begins to fade
and leak off at the corners of my eyes, which really puts a damper on
the entire thing.
The biggest downfall is the price. I spent nearly $8.00 on this
pencil, and I am not all too fond of it. When you spend that much money
on eyeliner, you expect it to work, and work well. This eyeliner pencil
however is just another run of the mill mediocre cosmetic.
Would I Recommend It?
Sorry no. I can't say that I would. I would however recommend Revlon's ColorStay line, that is, if you can actually find it.
