My Makeup Collection: EYES - eye liners

Last part out of the Eye stuff : Eye liners!


Essence Eyliner pen: This is a very very good liquid liner in my opinion. The tip is easy to contorol as well as the thickness of the line + it's cheap. The only con for me is that it has almost completly dried out. But it's true that I used it only a couple of times and than none. So I would say that if you buy it, don't hesitate to use it otherwise it'll dry out.


ArtDeco Perfect Control Eyliner: Well, if you remember I said to you on YouTube that this liner looks like plastic once it's dry...I still think so. And it says on it that it has some sort of special brush...to me it makes it specialy difficult to apply it. I wouldn't recommend this cuz it's just not worth it's money, there're better stuff out there.


S-he Stylezone Glitter eyeliner (Absolut wischfest): This is a really pretty liner to me. It's very easy to apply and cuz it's glitter it doesn't have to be perfect cuz it'll still look amazing and dazzling. I also like the colour and packaging. I think it's really pretty. But I think that it's only available in DM stores that are I think in EU only.



Essence Crystal Eyeliner (02 Dazzling Silver, 10 Beach party): I just looooove this stuff!!! It's amazing, that's all I have to say. The only kinda anoying thing is that you have to dip the brush into the tube a couple of times to get enough of the glitters on. But that's really the only con about it. If you're looking for some cheap glitter liners ---> get this!


ArtDeco Soft Eyeliner Waterproof (top: 11, bottom: 21): I bought this one because I needed a good waterproof and smudgeproof brown eyeliner for everyday. I like the colour, maybe a bit too much on the cool side (warmer tones suite me a bit better) and I like how it glides on the skin. It is waterproof but deffinitly not smudgeproof. It smudges on my undereye circles terribly so at the end of the day it looks like I had a very long night. So if you have a suggestion for something better please let me know.


Manhattan X-act Eyeliner (5 True White): I use this one in my waterline so it makes my eyes look bigger and more awake. This is a very cool trick (especialy in the mornings xD) that I've read in a book from a Slovene makeup artist and after that I saw it on Tyra Banks show and many times on YouTube so it deffinitly works. =) It's the most intense out of the ones I've tried in the store and I've tried A LOT of them. I like it but now that it's cold I have some trouble applying it. I've tried the tip from EnKore but it didn't work. But I still like it loads. =)


Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner (Rich Black): This is the most intense eyeliner I've ever tried. The colour is really rich, just like the name says. That's really good if you're looking for an intense eyeliner. It WILL smudge because it's meant to be smudged. That's why t has a very cute sponge on the other side and with it you can create a very sexy smokey look. I deffinitly recommend this one if you like smokey eyes for everyday but you're in a rush so you don't have time to play with eye shadows and of course to everybody else that like ti :D

Maybelline Define-a-line (Black Onyx): Well, I was actually dissapointed with this one. The colour is more of a dark gray than black but it won't smudge soon. It's retractable, so you have to twist the end so it pops out. But when you twist it out, you just can't twist it back inside. So if you twist too much. it'll stay like that until you use it. I'm really not a big fan of this thing so I'm not even using it.


Maybelline Expression Kajal (33: Black, 42: Metallic blue): This is like the bets liner ever!!!!! The black one is absolutley amazing! The colour pay off is wonderfull and it won't smudge. It's not waterproof though but still good enough for me, at least until I find something better. I don't know what's wrong with the blue one, but it seems to have a different consistency that the black one. The colour doesn't show well after one application so I have to re-do it but otherwise it's awesome! Deffinitly get the balck one.


Miss Sporty Mini-me eyeliner (030 Waterfall): Whatever you do, just don't get this one. It sucks!!! The colour is very pretty but you have to apply it like 5-times so it actually shows up. I can't say much about the staying power cuz when I applyed it, it didn't show up so I stopped using it a the same point. I think that the fact that it doesn't show up is good enough reason not to buy it.


From left to right:
1. BarryM: Shimmering Eye&Lip Crayon (1: Gold)
2. BarryM Glitter Eye Crayon (Black)
3. Miss Sporty Fabulous Eyes (030 Glamurous Green)
4. Manhattan Go BIG! Eyeshadow pen (63N Golden Mauve)

1. I really like it as an eyebrow and inner corner highlight but I don't really use it as a base anymore cuz it's kinda chunky and I find it hard to apply on my stupid lids. I bet it would work on a different eye shape.

2. Don't like it. It has a very strange consistency and it smudges and creases terribly! It's also hard to apply it cuz of glitters that can actually skratch your lid. I really don't like it.

3. I don't like this one either. Very bad colour pay off, that's enough for me to not use it to tell you more xD

4. This one is one of better "jumbos" that I have. The colour pay off is very very good and I really like the colour. Maybe it's just a bit chunky so I have to blend it a bit with my finger but otherwise is amazing.


Left to right:
1. Vollare Glitter Cosmetic Pencil
2. Gosh Waterproof Paintstick (Love that Dolphin!)
3. MAC Shadestick ( Sharkskin)

1. This one of the cheap brands but it's actually not that bad. The colour pay off is very good but the con again is...glitters in it. But these are smaller so I barely feel them.

2. This is LOVE!!!! It's my favourite of the jumbos that I have. Love the colour pay off. Love the staying power. Love the blendability of it. Love colour. Love everything!!!! You gotta have this stuff!!!!

3. It dissapinted me... I don't think it's products's fault, I think that it's all about my eye shape (again). Otherwise, the colour pay off is like AMAZING as well as the staying power and the colour itself. But it's just too difficult to apply it on my lids cuz it pulls it left and right which is not good at all. Buy it if you don't have lids like me.



Wow, that took me alot of time! =) I hope it helped you guys, if you have any questions just let me know and I'll come back to you with an answer. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to upload one of my previous videos up here so I see how this thing goes. Until than---> Enjoy!!!
