L.A. Colors Jumbo Eye Pencil

Hey guys!

Sharing my thoughts on these products...
L.A. Colors Jumbo Eye Pencils in Sunglasses and Sea Shells
This is Php 119.00 each.

I learned about this product online when I read a blog post review about it. I thought it was worth a try... that it would be a nice eye shadow base especially the black one for smokey eyes.

The L.A. Colors Jumbo Eye Pencils are very affordable and also portable.

Here's Sunglasses (black).

And here's Sea Shell (white).

Info from the website:

LONG LASTING
VIBRANT SHADES
SMOOTH APPLICATION

Skip the traditional powder eyeshadow and try a jumbo eyeshadow pencil. It allows you to use as an eyeliner for bold lines or blend out for a subtle effect. Display comes complete with dual sharpener for easy sharpening.

Swatches on hand

As you can see, they are both very, very pigmented. It glides smoothly on skin so applying and blending is easy!

Here's how it looks when I apply it on my lips together

It blends well.

But as you can see, it easily creases. Especially when my lids get oily after a couple of hours.

Translucent powder helps but my lids are just too oily. It doesn't stay long at all. Probably 2 hours tops. :(

I tried using it on top of eye shadow too.

I blend it with a powder eyeshadow.


I even top it off with more. LOL (Yeah, the copper doesn't really do well with the initial look. Haha!)


And I just add some black pencil liner on my waterline and apply mascara to finish the look.

This lasted longer than when worn alone. I guess it only started creasing around 3-4 hours. Which is still early than I expected. The result is still the same even with eye shadow primer (I used my Art Deco Eyeshadow Base). *sigh*

Me with the eye makeup

 I'm actually disappointed on these since the review I saw was a positive one. I guess my lids are just very oily. Oh well. :(

 Have you tried these yet? Did they crease on you too or did they work great on your lids?


Cheers,
DAWN

    1. Bought this at their stall at Landmark, Trinoma I think. I haven't tried any from NYX though but if ever I get my hands on one, I'll post a comparative review. :)

  6. Mahirap maghanap ng trust-worthy eye pencils. Most of mine also smudge easily :(
