BeautyUK Eye Pencils Review, Swatches, EOTD

I had mentioned about the new BeautyUK eye pencils range launch HERE


BeautyUK Simply Define Eyebrow pencil

What the Company claims: This year it’s all about the brows and these puppies are just what the doctor ordered. Perfectly weighted with a wooden body and defining brow brush, these richly pigmented pencils are the ideal artistic tools to create your defining eye look.

Available in grey, dark brown, auburn and ash brown – all at £1.99


I have the dark brown one which is perfect for our brows..it comes with a lash comb on the cap..I think its very good for travel..and when you do not have the time to carry your brow powder, wax, etc…this would ease your job..stiff enough for eyebrows..convenient to use and carry along..and cost effective too..


 Long lasting twist eyeliner


What the Company claims: Featuring an integrated sharpener to keep things perfectly precise at all times, these long lasting, intensely pigmented pencils give full control and ultimate definition that won’t fade when you need it most.

Available in black, dark brown, grey, navy blue – all at £2.49

Its a twist up pencil with a sharpener on one end..I have the one in dark brown..its a reddish deep brown..it glides well, does not tug or pull and the color is pigmented too..but staying power again is average..


Jumbo double ended pencil

What the Company claims: A revelation in style and convenience – these dual use pencils give black eye liner precision on one end with a sumptuous smoothie of creamy, metallic eye shadow on the other. Ideal companions to take anywhere and create a seductive pop of colour to the eyes. These work perfectly as a base for building eye shadow to create your desired look.

Available in black/white, black/ grey, black/ beige, black/ turquoise – all at £2.99



I have the black/beige..the eyshadow is super creamy..its a coppery pink beige..and the eyeliner is thin tipped and rich jet black..both glide on super easily and are easy to use..make a good two minute eyeshadow..the only issue is the eyeshadow hardly stays..especially in hot humid weather..it just vanishes away..and the eyeliner also does not stay long on the waterline..though longer on the upper lashline..



I have used all three for an EOTD

Overall I would say these are good for daily use..and quite economical and travel friendly..I only wish they stayed longer..I am not impressed by their staying power..

What the Company claims:  
Retractable – No sharpening required
No break formula, firm enough to outline
Soft enough to glide on smoothly

Quick Liner Eyes Pencil by Jordana defines like a pencil glides on smoothly like liquid eyeliner. It gives your beautiful eyes rich color in just one stroke. The pencil blends well after application. It lasts for longer time and does not bleed. These come with no-break formula.

Apply your Jordana’s Quick Liner Eyes Pencil appropriately to give your eyes a more dramatic look and make these look bigger. It is extremely easy to apply. The eyes pencil comes in many rich colors and is available in .006oz/.185g.

Best Suitable For: All types of eyes

Tips & Tricks: Give a soft definition to your eyes with Jordana’s Quick Liner Eyes Pencil. Select a eyes pencil shade that complements your eye color. Now close your one eye, hold it with your fingers and begin with the upper inner corner of your lid. Outline close to the lash line and continue to the outer corner. Follow the same technique if you want to apply the eye pencil on your bottom lash line. The line should be thin on the inner corner and thicker on the outer corner.

MRP: 1.49$ or Rs.135/-

Available in 10 shades..

I am reviewing the shade Foxy Brown..its a reddish brown color..such color look nice especially on the lower lash line..they do not look harsh yet give a defined look to the eyes. Katrina Kaif generally uses a reddish brown liner on her lower lash line.

Its a retractable pencil with brown packaging and a golden cap. Its not very soft but not too hard too..kinda ok..similar to the Maybelline Unstoppable in texture. It does not glide on super easy and you might need 2-3 swipes for the color to show up properly especially on warm skin tones.

Pros:

1. Retractable pencil..you can see the quantity available.
2. Economically priced.
3. A soft shade for everyday use.
4. 10 colors to choose from…and are mostly browns..so if you are a fan of browns or want some exact brown which you not finding anywhere..you can check out these.

Cons:

1. Its not so soft and does not glide on easily.
2. Needs 2-3 swipes for the color to show up.
3. Not available everywhere. You can buy it here

Overall a decent pencil. And good for the price…but not super soft.I would like to try the darker shades in it like Wine or Blue.

Maybelline Unstoppable Eye Liner Review,Espresso Swatches

I got the Maybelline Unstoppable liner is espresso..its a chocolate brown color…and in a twist up form.

What the Company claims:

  • Smudge-proof, stay-put, waterproof formula won’t budge until you want it to.
  • Self-sharpening packaging swivels up and down so point is always sharp and ready to define.
  • Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, ophthalmologist-tested.
Directions for use : Apply along your lash line from the inner to the outer corners. Removes easily with Expert Eyes® Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover.
MRP: Rs. 230/- for the brown (espresso) one and 240/- for the black (onyx) one. And the site shows 4 more colors..jade, sapphire, pewter, cinnabar. I don’t know why the difference in prices.

Pros:
1. The color is a pretty brown..and perfect for days when you dont want to use the same old black 😉
2. It stays put for quiet a long time…around 6-7 hours on the upper lashline and 4-5 hours on lower lashline too.
3. Its waterline safe and does not irritate eyes at all.
4. Its a mechanical pencil…so sharpening it properly would be a problem..but you can see the amount of product     you get…I love twist up pencils for that.
5. Economical.
6. The cap is brown so you can see the color.
7. Does not smudge much.
8. A thick line and bit of smudging with fingers gives a nice smokey effect.
9. Perfect base for brown eye makeup. 
Cons:
1.Its not very smooth and does not glide on easily..it tugs a bit.
2. People who prefer pencils as they like to sharp it for hygienic reasons may not prefer it.
