Product Review: Pencil Eyeliner: NYX , Maybelline, TBS and TBS Lip and Cheek Stain

1. NYX EYE/EYEBROW PENCIL (color black)
Pros:
  • Creamy, blend easily
  • Can glide over the lash line quite easily
  • Can be used as a base so the eyeshadows stick better
  • Cheap (around IDR 45K - 50K)
  • Pigmented enough if not used on waterline
Cons:
  • Even though it can be used on the waterline but doesn't give enough color.
Repurchase? Yes

2. TBS EYE PENCIL (SHADE: ROCKY BLUE)
Pros:
  • Creamy enough (after 1 time sharpened) still can be blended but does not glide over the eyelid.
  • Can be used as a base so the eyeshadows stick better
  • Cheap (got it on sale SGD 5.00 )
Cons:
  • Not pigmented enough (probably because the color I choose though)
Repurchase? Probably if on sale but will buy different shade

3. Maybelline 2-IN-1 Impact shadow liner by EYESTUDIO (color purple)
Pros:
  • Super creamy, glides on the eyelid and blend easily
  • Very pigmented and super pretty purple(I totally love this color)
  • Not that expensive (got it on promo SGD 9.90 UP: 11.90 )
  • Great staying power
  • Can be used as an eyeshadow
Cons:
  • Can not be used on the waterline (just wont stick!) PS: I have a very watery waterline btw.
  • Smells funny
Repurchased: Yes yes yes yes (assuming the price stays)

4. TBS Lip and Cheek Stain (http://www.thebodyshop.com.sg/en/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdID=459&SubCateId=160&CateId=2)

They claimed:
"For a natural looking and lasting "just blushed" glow to the cheeks or "just bitten in to a strawberry lips", this double-duty product is a must have for the make-up bag. The more you apply it on, the deeper it gets."

Size: 8 ml
Price: S$21.90

Pro:
  • Pigmented and just stain your lips perfectly.
  • double duty as lip and cheek stainer.
Cons:
  • Pricey.
Repurchase? Only if I have the product rebate or when I'm very upset and need to have shopping therapy session :p
