Hello
Everyone,
Today I am
reviewing Rodial Smokey Eye Pen in Black for you guys. Rodial is a high end
luxury skincare and makeup brand loved by many celebrities. I got this in my
July Glossybox and was really excited about this product. Let’s see how this
one fared out.
Product Description: Create a
bold eye with this kohl eyeliner. With super-rich pigment and gel-effect definition, this
long-lasting soft formula can be easily blended to create a dramatic smokey
eye.
Price: USD 21/ 17 GBP
Performance: Rodial Smokey Eye Pen in Black is jet black
eyeliner with a matte finish. This eyeliner is so buttery soft and creamy in
texture and goes on like a dream. No tugging or pulling at all. It is packed
with pigment and just one swipe does the job. It can be smudged easily but if you smudge it too quickly or
put too much pressure while doing so it sheers out.
Now
coming on to the most important part that is the staying power. It is not that
impressive in that department. The issue I face with it is, it doesn’t dry down and set.
Due to that it smudges easily and even with the slightest touch it comes right
off. So I thought okay have to be a bit careful and avoid touching. But that didn’t
help much either, 30 minutes in of me wearing it and I saw it got transferred to
my upper eyelids and I had a very visible black line above my crease. Not a cute look. I agree I
have oily eyelids and quite a few eyeliner smudge on me but I didn’t expect it
from this one. Considering it is a high-end product I was expecting a wow
product. My 5$ H&M eyeliners performs way better than this.
I have
tried it using with an eye primer and could see a slight improvement but still
it smudged. The only way it works is if I set it with a black eye shadow. Okay
so I can make it work but on daily bases I don’t have the time to set it with
black eye shadow. Surprisingly
though it lasts way longer on my waterline. I can get 4-5 hours of wear time on
my waterline with it slightly fading from the outer corner of the eyes. It
doesn’t irritate my eyes which is always good and is easy to remove.
The Good:
- Very pigmented
- Did not irritate my eyes
- Texture is really creamy soft
- Applies like a dream
The Bad:
- Smudges and transfers
- Doesn’t set
- Expensive
- Lose it's shape too quickly
- Sharpening leads to product
wastage
I was
really excited to see this in my glossybox and I had high expectations from
this product. But I am not at all impressed with it and I find some of my
drugstore eyeliners perform way better than this. I really liked the creamy
texture and pigmentation of this and I would have been fine with slight
smudging but the transferring bit really puts me off. I think it might work for
people who don’t have oily eyelids because I have read quite a few positive
reviews about it.
Hope you liked this post!!

Today I am
reviewing H&M Colour Essence
Eye Pencil in Wildlife which I have recently hauled from H&M New Makeup Collection
you can see what all I got here. The colour is really pretty and it swatched
nicely as well but is it as good as Lovely Lilac? Let's find out.
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 lash line 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 Wildlife is a khaki/mossy green shade
with golden shimmer. Texture of this is soft and creamy and goes on smoothly without any tugging or pulling. It can be smudged easily and you have a
little room to play around but if you smudge it too quickly or put too much
pressure while doing so it sheers out. It is well pigmented but still I like to
go over twice to get the desired intensity of colour. Staying power is amazing
it stayed put for the whole day on my upper eyelids with slight fading by the
end of the day nothing major. It did not get transferred to
my upper eyelids, once set it didn’t budge and is almost smudge proof. Almost
smudge proof? It doesn’t get rubbed of completely with slight touching or
rubbing, just fades a little. I have used it on my waterline as well and it
does not irritate my eyes at all. It is no where mentioned if it's waterproof or
not. Taking it off is slightly tedious because it has shimmer particles so I had to go in second time with my eye makeup remover to get rid of the shimmer 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 some one who likes thin precise liners then you would not like
this.
The
Good:
·
Amazing staying power
·
Does not transfer
·
Smudge Proof
·
Nice shades
·
Did not irritate my eyes
·
Texture is really creamy soft
The Bad:
·
Loose it shape too quickly
·
Sharpening leads to product
wastage
This eye
pencil has amazing staying power and it does not budge. The shade is really nice,
texture is soft and smooth. I really like and would highly recommend them. If you can definitely try it
out.

Hello
Everyone,
I was feeling so proud of myself because I finished up all
those products that I treated myself by buying some new products. To some it
may seem as an excuse to buy more stuff but in my head it makes total sense. So
I am going with it..
Here’s what
I got:
- Garnier Micellar Cleansing
Water – Read a lot of good things about this so I wanted to give a try
plus it’s so affordable in comparison to Bioderma. Love how easy to use micellar water are and perfect for when your feeling lazy but still have to cleanse.
- Formula 10.0.6 Picture
Perfect Day Daily Moisturiser with SPF 15 – I was looking for a simple
fuss free moisturiser with SPF and which is more pocket friendly. After
doing some browsing I picked up this one. I have never tried anything from
this brand earlier. Like the packaging of this.
- H&M Nail Colour Remover –
Ran out of last one and I was in the store saw this one and picked it up.
- H&M Colour Essence Eye
Pencil – I really liked the Lovely Lilac and since then I wanted to pick
up more shades. And this time when I was in the store I picked up two more
shades in Wildlife and Grand Cru.
- H&M Eye Colours To Go in
Fairytale – It’s a eyeshadow in a chubby stick form. It is such a pretty
shade and I love how easy to use eyeshadow sticks are.
Hope you
like this post!!

Hello
Everyone,
Today I am
reviewing H&M Colour Essence
Eye Pencil in Lovely Lilac which I have recently got from H&M New Makeup Collection
you can see what all I got here. The colour is really pretty and it swatched
nicely as well but I was quite sceptical as to how it actually going to perform,
whether I am going to like it or not. So let’s see if this is a hit or a miss.
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

Packaging: It is a

Performance: H&M
Colour Essence Eye Pencil in Lovely Lilac is a bright purple shade
with slight shimmer. Texture of this is soft and creamy and goes on smoothly on
eyes without any tugging or pulling. It can be smudged easily and you have a
little room to play around but if you smudge it too quickly or put too much
pressure while doing so it sheers out. It is well pigmented but still I like to
go over twice to get the desired intensity of colour. Staying power is amazing
it stayed put for the whole day on my upper eyelids with slight fading by the
end of the day nothing major. I was so surprised because pencil eyeliner
doesn’t last that long on me, I have quite an oily eyelids and I was not
expecting that this would last this long. I would have been happy if it stayed
even for 4-5 hours. That’s not it there’s more, It did not get transferred to
my upper eyelids, once set it didn’t budge and is almost smudge proof. Almost
smudge proof? It doesn’t get rubbed of completely with slight touching or

H&M has launched a brand new selection of H&M Makeup this year ranging in prices from $2.99 to $24.99. It's not only makeup, H&M also has haircare, bodycare and beauty tools. H&M new line has over 700 beautifully packaged makeup and beauty items and this line has replaced H&M's previous collection and it feels more premium and luxe than the earlier one.
I had no plan of buying makeup but when I saw the new line in H&M stores I was so intrigued by it. The packing looks luxe and they have a wide variety. Such a huge difference from their previous make-up line. After admiring the look and packaging of the line, swatching marathon began and there were many things I liked and wanted to try but I was a little skeptical also that it was sort of difficult to zero down on what to pick up first. But I really wanted to get few things from the line so after all the swatching and lot of contemplating I picked up three products.
Here they are:
Colour Essence Eye Pencil in Lovely Lilac - It is a bright lilac shade and I have nothing like this in my stash. So I thought this would be a nice addition.
Lush Lip Vinyl in Tuscan Blush - It is a pretty pinkish nude shade and would be perfect for everyday wear.
Lip Colour To - Go in Bonne Vivante - From swatches it looked like a perfect my lips but better shade.
Will try to review them soon with swatches. Do let me know if there is anything you would like me to review first.
Are you planning to get something from this collection?
