I've long been waiting for a chance to use this eyeliner, which was one of the many gifts that I received from
Tony Moly Philippines last
Christmas. The opportunity finally came today, after I've ran out of my favorite
liquid eyeliner and upon discovering that my
other eyeliner (
which I keep as a spare) has turned dry.

There's nothing fancy-shmancy about the packaging. No box whatsoever, but the pencil itself is sleek, and has a glossy finish. It's sealed in plastic and has a sticker which indicates the shade of the eyeliner.

| Website, contact number, that's it. |
See that '06' on the top portion, along with the Hangul text? That's the shade number of this eyeliner - #06 True Black, to be exact. I had to check online as to what other shades are available; apparently, there's also #05 Black Shine (black in color with specks of silver on it, satin finish) and #07 Brown (dark brown, matte finish).

This one's black with a matte finish. And for a pencil-type eyeliner, this one has a rather creamy texture. The tip resembles that of a crayon - soft, stubby, a bit waxy even. But it's that soft, waxy feel that makes this product glide on the skin smoothly and allow for softer, smudgy lines. Perfect for smoky eyes!

The
Lovely Eyeliner Pencil isn't the retractable kind, though. You have to sharpen it from time to time, which can be quite a pain, especially if you're doing your makeup in a rush.

It's not waterproof nor smudge-proof, either. Surprisingly however, I was able to wear this eyeliner for a a good eight hours
(with a primer on) without turning into a panda - you know, those ghastly streaks and smears of black around the eyelids. Sure, the color fades the longer it stays on your eyelids, but that would be better than looking like a panda by the end of the day.
What I love:
- Easy to use.
- Has a creamy texture, which allows for easy application.
- Great for creating soft, smudgy lines around the eyes.
- Color looks natural - black with matte finish.
- Doesn't leave you with panda eyes at the end of the day.
- Affordable price.
- Three shades to choose from.
- No allergies or irritation, safe for sensitive skin.
What you might not like:
- Not smudge-proof or waterproof.
- Not retractable.
