H&M Colour Essence Eye Pencil in Grand Cru Review & Swatches
Hello Everyone,
Today I am
reviewing H&M Colour Essence
Eye Pencil in Grand Cru which I hauled last month here. Such a stunner shade. The moment I swatched it in the store I knew I wanted this in my life and couldn't wait to get home and try it out. Did my excitement last? Is it as good as others? Let's see.
Product Description: A richly
pigmented eyeliner pencil with soft and creamy formula. It is easy to apply and
sit all day. The pen is available in a variety of intense shades with different
effects - from matte to metallic, pearlescent and glittery. 1.2 g. How to use:
apply along the lashline and smudge then to the desired results.
Price: 5.7 USD
Packaging: It is a
sharpenable plastic eye pencil with colour coded bottom. It is bit difficult to
sharpen it due plastic body.
Performance: H&M
Colour Essence Eye Pencil in Grand Cru is a glittery Champagne Gold shade . It is a perfect shade for going out or party makeup. It is not a very subtle shade but neither does it look tacky. If you like glittery/shimmery shade then this is right up your alley. I am not a huge shimmer fan but I like it from time to time if I am going out for a party or during the festive season. If I am feeling it then I use it all over my upper lash line otherwise I prefer using it as an inner corner highlight or just lining the inner 1/3rd of upper or lower lash line and it is great for that. It just instantly brightens the area. I tried using it as a brow bone highlighter but on blending it just leaves shimmer behind which not a very good look. Texture of this is buttery soft and creamy. Goes on so smoothly without any tugging or pulling. It is packed with pigment and just one swipe does the job. Staying power is amazing once set it stays put. Doesn't budge. That’s not it there’s more, It did not get transferred to
my upper eyelids and I have super oily eyelids and is almost smudge proof. Almost
smudge proof? It doesn't get rubbed off completely with slight touching or
rubbing, just fades a little. Just for trail purpose I have used it on my waterline as well and it
does not irritate my eyes at all. It is nowhere mentioned if it waterproof or
not. Taking it off is slightly tedious because it is a glittery eyeliner so I had to go in second time with my eye makeup remover to get rid of the glitter completely. The formula is creamy so the
tip loses it shape very quickly and you have to sharpen it to maintain a pointy
tip. If you are someone who likes thin precise liners then you would not like
this.
The
Good:

·
Does not transfer
