Brunette Beauty

Packaging: Slim shiny black plastic pencil with a clear cap. Smell: None. Colour: 01 Transparent. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin, smooth wax. It's easy to apply and line the lips with no tugging or pulling. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe. To prime your lips and fill in lines, outline your lips by following the contour of your mouth. Start from the outer edges of your lips and work your way towards center of your lip on each side. Then fill-in between the outline.  Easy to sharpen and  to a soft point.  Non drying formula which adversely didn't feel hydrating and did a really good job of stopping lipstick from feathering. For such an affordable product, I was really impressed with the way it worked. Available: From CVS in America only for US$5 for 1.2g/0.04oz. Milani is available from Cherry Culture, cherryculutre.com.au.

Packaging: Soft velvet feeling black pencil with clear lid  & a nice fine pointed tip. Smell: None. Colour: 01 Black. Opaque pigmentation  with a matte finish . Available in 5 shades. Texture/ Formula: It's a smooth thickish cream. Yet it applies like a liquid liner and glides on smoothly without any eye tugging which I really love. Theres a 10 sec window to smudge the liner. No problems applying, sharping or emoting this liner. No irritation to the eyes either. The longevity is about 10hrs. Pigmentation stays the same and looks as good as freshly applied. However towards the end of this period I do notice there to be some smudging only when worn on the lower lash line. Other then that theres no smudging, creasing or transferring. This is a great creamy long lasting pencil eyeliner. Compare to Urban Decay's 24/7 Liner here . Available: From Cherry Culture, cherryculture.com for $8 for 1.2g/0....
