EOTD: Purple is love.

Good evening ladies,

I've been obsessing on the color purple for sometime and had wanted to try dying my hair purple during my board examinations... well, I did (btw) but that DIY hair color was a big failure, I'll probably try to post that sometime when I actually achieve the purple hair that I want. But for now, I'm settling with a couple of other purple stuff.

So here is one of Rica's gifts to me from some time ago, Sephora Crayon Jumbo liner, I have them in purple and metallic blue. Dawn has them as well in gold and green and she's done some marvelous review of the collection here.

So here it is when applied (above) and after it's smudged (below). Definitely, easy to glide and high color pay-out.

So I went with neutral colored lids and just thick purple line. I was actually trying to copy a make-up look by Lisa Eldridge.

Here is the youtube video for that tutorial.

Here's how mine turned out... 

So do you think I got it? I do believe I'm quite off but I do love this look and I guess I'll keep practicing it until I get it.

If you got colored liners, you can try going for this as well, it doesn't really need to be purple. Anyway, go and change up your regular barely there look with some of your favourite color.

Cheers,

LIZ

Sephora Waterproof Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear in Green and Gold

Hey loves!

My best friend, Rica, who is currently residing in the US got us some new beauty toys to play with! 

She gave Liz and I some skin care products from The Body Shop and these super pigmented Jumbo Liners from Sephora. She gave Liz and I two each and I'll be sharing the two shades I got in this post.

Sephora Waterproof Jumbo Liner 12HR Wear in Green and Gold

I think the other two shades that Liz got are in Turquoise and Violet. I'll try to ask her to post swatches of those liners too. :)

These are the info from their website: 

What it is:
A collection of jumbo eye pencils that can be used as eyeliners or blended out as eye shadows. 

What it does:
These jumbo pencils create a range of effects, from bold lines and blended effects to thin, defined lines. Resistant to water, heat, and humidity, their creamy, high-pigment formulas apply smoothly. From deep blacks to rich and shimmery shades, each is formulated with exclusive waxes and pigments to assure maximum color intensity that stays put for 12-hours.

Suggested Usage:
-Draw a line from the inner corner to the outer corner of upper and lower lid. 
-For a more dramatic effect: apply all over the eyelid. 
-Pencil may be blended with fingers or a brush to spread color all over the eyelid. 
-Layer two jumbo pencils to create your own custom look. 
-Use 05 beige jumbo pencil as a base for your eyeshadow that lasts all day long. 
-Use 01 white on the inner corner of the eye to make eyes pop.

Rica got these for us because when she tried it, she loved how pigmented and how long lasting they were and she wanted us to try them out too! How she raved about them made me so excited to get my hands on them!

So this is the Gold jumbo liner...

The shade is a shimmery, metallic, warm gold. 

And this is the green liner...

It's less shimmery compared to the gold one.

These are the swatches.
They are very pigmented because I got these vibrant colors in just a stroke of the pencils!

And now, I'll share the post on how I tested the staying power of the products. First, I tried rubbing it with my fingers several times...

Nothing happened. I guess there are a little to almost unnoticeable "sparkles" of the gold smudged.

Here I rubbed it very hard with wet cloth and as you can see, it got smudged, especially the gold one. The green shade still looked clean but less color intensity. If you put it under running water, nothing happens but if you smudge it or rub it, then you will encounter this, something not so surprising when it comes to eye liners. I was expecting a stronger lasting power from it though but without forcing it to come off (like rubbing your eyes), it can last the whole day. I do have oily lids though so it tends to blend with my eyeshadow after half a day of wearing it. But it stays the whole day looking untouched when I applied it under my lower lash line. It just looks beautiful throughout the day and the intense pigments really makes your eyes so eye-catching!

And that's all for this post. I think there are dozens and dozens of shades available for these Waterproof Jumbo Liners 12HR Wear. I'd like to get some mauve and peach colors!

Have you tried these eyeliners from Sephora yet? What shades do you have/wanna get?

Cheers,
DAWN
