Essence Kajal Pencil Eyeliner Review

Happy Friday, dear friends! I am happy to share that even though today is still hot, it is definitely milder than yesterday. Yay!

It was a busy day - I went to school to fix some things and then I went to the Camarillo outlet with my parents and brother! I took photos, of course! I can't wait to share them with all of you this weekend or next week. :D

Anyways, have you guys tried the Essence Kajal Pencil Eyeliner?

Photobucket

The classic Essence Eye Pencil gives your eyes irresistible depth. (Ulta.com, $0.99)

Pros:
- It's very creamy
- Glides on easily
- Has a fine tip, but is definitely not sharp
- The color is defined
- Only 99 cents!

There are 8 colors available:
Black 01, White 04, Teddy 08, Cool Breeze 11, Nightfever 13, Hola, Chica! 14, Behind the Scenes 15, Neon Sweetie 17
Check them out here.

Cons:
- One little tear = smear, smear, smear!!!

The first time I used this, I got teary-eyed, and the eyeliner smeared all over. I fixed it by using a Q-tip, and applying some more concealer. The good news is it was easily fixable.

Any eyeliner recommendations?

I would also like to thank everyone who checked out my guest post!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend! :D

  9. I was actually thinking of buying one since I run out of stock. I heard (or read) from Tieka's blog--Selective Potential that she uses a Maybelline Line Stiletto and she does look great with it. I love her portrait shots where you can really inspect the eyeliner (I love eyeliners lol) so maybe it really is worth trying.

  17. Hi Mimi! I actually am in the process of some make-up favorites and eyeliner will be a fave topic of minue. For everyday pencil, I use MAC engraved. With my allergies and constant eye rubbing, this is one I find doesn't budge. I hear Nars and Urban Decay also are very good. Stay tuned for my favorite beauty product posts!

  25. This sounds good! And it’s .99!
    My favorite liners would be Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencils, they have so many differ colors and there the best liners I’ve tried so far! The price of them kinda sucks tho, but if you wait for there friends and family sale or there sets at a x-mas, you can get them for a really good deal 8D
