What a better way to kickstart this blog than with my favourite thing of all time - eyeliner! This is quite a tough liner to get your hands on, unless you happen to live in Sweden (that's where I got mine) or a country in Europe (I suspect). I believe it's available online, but again, only in specific countries.
This was quite a surprise find for me. In fact, upon trying it on when I got home, I was thinking of buying it for all my friends!
Introducing the H&M liquid eyeliner. It is about 7SGD, the cheapest eyeliner I have every bought.
As you can see, it has quite a sleek design with it's bold silver letters printed on a glossy black tube. I've used it for about 7 months now, none of the silver print has faded. So if you're one to fuss over products showing wear and tear on their happy plastic cases, this one won't let you down!
My only gripe about the packaging is that the cover is not very easy to grip, so if you have sweaty/greasy palms then it may be quite tough to remove the cover. Also, there's nowhere to pop the cover on at the back of the pen, so for the forgetful, the cover might get lost pretty easily.
The eyeliner is designed like a sharpie. Perfect for all the unsteady hands or the uninitiated. And also of durable material - no frays for 7 months of usage! Says something about the quantity of ink too since I use it almost everyday.
Swatch showing the type of line and the ink. Thin line, thick line, mega thick line, curly line, anything is possible with thissharpie eyeliner. This eyeliner allows me to draw the thinnest of lines possible for "no make up days" (which we all know is us in denial).
Ink is black enough. What I like about it is that the ink is not glossy. Glossy eyeliners seem to have the tendency to flake. This does not. It lasts all day on oily lids like mine and does not fade. Does not sting eyes as well.
Eyes open. Eyes closed. Can you even see the line?! At this point, I imagine Mario completing his level and hearing the points add up with a dingdingdingdingdingding!!!!
But of course, no product can be perfect. The thing I hate most about this eyeliner is the smell. It smells like a sharpie. Or any permanent marker. Which is a very very very scary thing. Permanent. Marker. Very. Scary. Thing. I literally have to hold my breath to apply this eyeliner. It is worth it for me, but may not be for those with sensitive noses. Might be great for people who sniff glue (kidding).
Despite its permanent smell, it is in no way permanent. It washes off with water. Which means, please do not watch Grey's Anatomy with this on. It WILL smudge and make you a panda. Do not go for a dip either. You will emerge and people will wonder why your eyes have gotten smaller. Washing off is a plus point for me though, because that makes for easy removal. i.e. just wash my face and rub gently.
What can I say, I LOVE IT!
