Faces cosmetics Long Wear Eye pencil- review, swatches

Hi girls,
Hope you are well and happy. I have reviewed many products before from Faces Cosmetics and I'm really loving them. Today I'm going to review another product from Faces Cosmetics and this time it's their Long Wear Eye pencil which is very nice in quality and it can prove to be quite useful in this festive season so take a look at what I have to say about it-


Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil
 Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil is a soft pencil eye liner which is really good in use & long lasting.


What Faces Cosmetics says
Soft gentle pencils in a rainbow of shades. Use them to enhance your natural eye color for dramatic effect or give you that bright-eyed glow. Gentle and safe for sensitive eyes.

Weight
1.15 g.

Price
Rs.249

Packaging

 

 The packaging is simple and cute. It comes in a pencil shape with a black cap.

Shade
 It comes in many beautiful shades. The shade I'm reviewing is gray which gives a soft, smokey look to my eyes.

Texture
It has very soft and creamy texture and glides like a gel liner.

Lasting power

It stays for really long hours on my eyes, very long lasting. In fact I never imagine about so long stay from it but it made me really impressed.

In the mirror of my own Experience



I had been using the same shade eye pencil from Revlon which I loved so much. To be honest, I'd never imagined of this eye pencil to be of so high quality. But after using it I was so impressed now it has become my favorite & the first choice!! It's so smooth and most pigmented eye pencil that requires maximum of one swipe for getting desired result. When I need an instant eye makeup, It's the first, I apply on my eyes first on eye lid then in my waterline, and it instantly brightens my face and give a healthy and soft look. I love its creamy and smooth texture. It's completely waterproof and the staying power is really impressive. It can stay for the whole day on my eyes. I have found every quality in this pencil what I wished from a good brand's eye pencil.

Good points
Love its soft and creamy texture.
It's one of the most pigmented eye pencil that I have ever used.
It's a beautiful matte gray color pencil.
Very smooth and easy to apply.
Gives my eyes a instant soft look.
Very useful for an instant eye makeup.
Completely waterproof and smudge proof.
Reasonable price.
Safe for sensitive eyes.
Strong staying power.


Bad points
 Ingredients list not mentioned.
It needs to be sharpened so leads to a bit of product wastage.
For removing, one needs a good makeup remover.
Availability is a problem because it's not available generaly in all cosmetic stores. 

Finally
Finally I'm so impressed about this eye pencil. It has given a hard competition to many good brands like Revlon and Colorbar. I love its quality. I would love to check out some other shades too. 


Rating
4.75/5


Recommendation
I recommend it to all my readers and friends to check out this high quality eye pencil. They have a big color range so in this festive season you should check it out. I'm sure you'll love them.


Availability

Available at all faces counters & in some cosmetic stores.

Revlon Colorstay eye liner- review, swatches, photos

I love to apply eyeliner on my eyes but I always hesitated to use pencil eyeliners because I used to think that it doesn’t show much on my eyes but I applied them on my waterline. When I bought Revlon Colorstay eyeliners I learned how to make my eyes attractive without liquid eyeliner. I bought in two shades first in black and other in gray. It’s available in 8 different shades


.

Today I’m writing about Revlon Colorstay eyeliner in Gray.

The shade-

The color is pretty much exactly the color of the cap: A dark gray with a bit of metallic sheen.
My experience-

I’m not fond of applying colorful eyeliners on my eyes. I’m very simple person in my real life. This eyeliner is perfect for me because the color of this is very natural gray and the metallic sheen doesn’t show after applying on the eyes so it does a very good job of defining my eyes.

My eye’s color is light brown so metallic gray shade gives a pretty effect on my eyes. I can go anywhere applying only two swipes of this on my eyes and it can define the eyes very well. Sometimes I have even applied black one on the top and this one at the bottom and I have got a very soft look which I love.

The tip

Some points why I love this eyeliner-

I love the packaging, very light weight very cute in handling.

It’s much pigmented. Gray is usually a light shade but it shows clearly on my eyes.

I love staying power of this eyeliner. I can forget about it after applying because it’ll stay even on my waterline all day. I don’t have any issues with smudging. The pencil is creamy, so you can smudge it, but work quickly because it sets quickly.

I think this is the only eyeliner that stays even when applied on my waterlines.

It doesn’t break easily. Defines my eyes very quickly.

The price seems reasonable after using this magical liner.

Price- I think it was somewhere around Rs 300- 450. Sorry :(

The swatches-

Have a closer look-

Some points why I don’t love this eyeliner-

I have heard that over time these pencils dry and become hard and brittle making it impossible to apply. I don’t know till now about this fact because right now it’s perfect eyeliner for me.

One complains about the cap. I think if the cap clicked on better/tighter it would have helped more.

Will I purchase it again?

Sure I’m going to buy a brown one too.

Will I recommend this eyeliner?

Yes, if you are a fan of pencil eyeliners, you should definitely try it.

Rating of this eyeliner- 4.50/5

So pretty girls, if you have used this cute and lovely eyeliner, share your opinions with me. It’ll be a very nice experience. Thanks :-D
