I purchased this eyeliner on a whim awhile
back at the Clinique counter in Holt Renfrew.
I was actually looking for something relatively inexpensive but useful
to make up the amount I need to spend in order to get the gift with purchase
being offered at that time (sad, but true, though in my own defense, Holt
Renfrew typically has the best gifts with purchase so I didn’t want to miss
out). Little did I know that this eyeliner, which was more or less purchased as
an afterthought, would make it onto my list of favorites.
The automatic (translation: no sharpening
required – you simply twist the top of the eyeliner to release more product,
similar to a lipstick) eyeliner is available in a range of shades that are
meant for everyday wear – no crazy colours here. I typically shy away from black liner and am
inexplicably drawn to purple liner, but this time around, I decided to be different
and went with smoky brown.
There are a number of reasons why I really
like this product: (1) the point on the liner is not too sharp and not too
blunt, so it’s perfect for drawing a slightly smudgy, but still clean-looking
line; (2) the formula goes on smooth and does not tug on the eyelids when being
applied; (3) the colour stays put – it does fade a little as the day goes on
but most if it sticks around, as I still need eye makeup remover to take it off
at the end of the day; and (4) I love not having to sharpen the liner.
I have tried a number of other drugstore
automatic liners (Cover Girl, Bonne Bell, Annabelle) but found either the
colour itself or the lasting power of the liner to be lacking. As shown in the photo, I’ve made it through the entire product, which would make it the first eyeline I ever finished. Enough said.
Verdict:
easy application, staying power, and a nice,
natural-looking colour selection means I will definitely be repurchasing this
product again in the future. ~US$15
