REVLON COLOR STAY EYELINER

Hello pretties,

Beautifully defined eyes are every one's favorite. Lining eyes with kohl is perhaps one of the most ancient known form of eye makeup.The beautiful bold liner is even very clearly visible in historical Egyptian art on pyramid walls.Back in 3100 BC, it was used by Egyptian queens and noble women as a prevention from harsh sun rays and evil spirits and of course for beautification.

Well in that aspect I am no different :P I am one of those girls who don't step out of their bedrooms until they have a healthy dose of kajal or eyeliner.So,I keep experimenting with different eyeliners.(Read posts here).Ever since I came to know that Revlon does not use animal ingredients except bees wax,lanolin and honey in its products(lipsticks are carmine free ^_^ ) I wanted to try the eyeliners too.There are two ranges:Color stay and photo ready. Photo ready kajal has made it in the top most recommended by Allure.Anyways on failing to find that one I settled on Color stay crayon eyeliner.This one has got reader's choice awards 2003,2005,2006,2008,2009(link).So,I had to try this one.

Got it from Magiclamp.pk.Haul post will be up soon.I am waiting for a few more things :)

REVLON COLOR STAY EYELINER In BLACK

Price PKR 980.The eyeliner comes in a swivel stick form.It is basically a crayon liner.

The little surprise in the packaging is a cute crayon tip sharpener.When I was using Maybellin colossal kajal, sometimes,I really wanted to sharp the liner tip so this sharpener solves the problem.Packaging gets full points from me.

The liner is creamy and very easy to use.It gives a very black,matte line in first swipe.I love the neat line I get with it.

The liner,being crayon type, sets instantly and stays on eyes for as long as you want it to.My experience is 8 hours.It doesn't fade at all.However,it is not fully smudge proof on my oily lids.If I touch it or rub after a few hours, it smudges.Although smudging is minimal,but its there nonetheless.

It is not tear proof.I have tried it personally **sighs**.After crying and rubbing my eyes it came off.

I used it on my water line too.Sadly it didn't work out.It stung a little too.

The product is very comparable to Maybellin colossal kajal with a little less staying power.However, it is double the price and this might be the only reason to leave it.My personal preference for this eyeliner over maybellin kajal is due to the fact that Revlon does not use animal ingredients in their products.

Now for summary:

GOOD POINTS:

1)-Easy to use.

2)-Travel friendly

3)-Can be sharpened.

4)-Gives a neat, matte line.

5)-Intense pigment.Very black.

6)-Creamy.Does not tug on lash line.

BAD POINTS:

1)-Not completely smudge proof

2)-Comes off on rubbing after a few hours.(It does not come off or fades on its own).

3)-Pricey.However,as Revlon is available in departmental stores as well I am pretty sure I can get it for much less.

RATING:
