Today was nice out, finally, so I tried to be out of the house most of the day! I didn't really clean up my nails from last night but I posted some new outdoor pictures of the Zoya polishes I tried in my blog post yesterday.
I decided today to try the Christian Siriano Kajal Eyeliner in Eclipse for Victoria's Secret that I got in my prize package from Tracy and Beauty Reflections!

| Wonder what you do when it gets down to the bottom? Can you sharpen this?? |
Sooooo like I've said before, I usually wear brown powder eyeliner, but I wanted to try out this black pencil for my something new of the day. I wasn't planning on wearing any eyeshadow with it but when I realized how dark it was I threw on some brown shimmer on top of it, so in some of the pictures you can tell I did it this way instead of putting on the liner last. Whoops! That's ok, check it out:

| You can see I got eye shadow on the liner, but it's all gravy |

| You can't tell as much with my eyes open...woo I got a crap ton of mascara on. |

So overall I liked it. It went on super smooth and super easy. I usually have to press pretty hard to get a dark line with pencil eye liner but this went on super dark when I barely touched my skin! It rubs off, but not super easily--it's stayed on with pretty much the same opacity all day!
I love the packaging, but I'm kind of confused as to what to do once you use a lot of it...I don't know if you can sharpen it back to a point or if you kind of use it so one side is pointed...like a lipstick. Any ideas??
This runs for about $12. I really like it and I'll definitely use it up eventually, but I probably wouldn't buy it again unless it comes in a brown. I can't seem to figure that out with a quick google search. I'm kind of uninformed, haha.
Have you guys tried this?? Let me know!

PS...check out the haul I won from Stephanie over at Imperfectly Painted:
Ahh so many Sinful Colors! I'm super excited about these, the purple is something that I was trying to buy for myself the other day but I was already beyond the three polish limit for the sale at Walgreens! So I'm pretty happy I got it!
The keeki glow-in-the-dark (!!!) polish in the middle was a gift from my boyfriend! It came in the mail today! He even researched natural, organic nail polish all by himself! So cute :) Have you guys heard of this brand or used it??
I like the way the eyeliner looks on you I have the hardest time putting on eyeliner I love the look but don't ever have time to do it over and over this looks like it might be easier for me to apply thanks for the review I'm going to look for this.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This one makes it super easy because it goes on so smooth without you barely even touching it to your skin. You just gotta make sure you get as close to your lashes as possible so your line isn't super thick!
ReplyDeleteHey Whitney! You can use it like you did, as just a regular eyeliner, but it's really meant to line your waterline with. That's why it's shaped like that-you can just press the side of it on your waterline. Try that!
ReplyDelete@Tracy ahahaha I'm an idiot :) I didn't even wear it on my waterline that day...That's probably why you don't have to worry about sharpening it. Thanks for the tip, I needed it :D
ReplyDeleteI love this eye look on you! Are you wearing glittery mascara or is it just me seeing glitter?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, Sinful! I love them! Can't wait to see swatches and the glow in the dark one sounds awesome! I've never heard of that brand and organic!!? Love!
Thanks Fionaaa! I'm glad you noticed the glitter! I actually am wearing Buxom Mascara (from Bare Escentuals) with a little bit of waterproof Maybelline Define-A-Lash on top of it to hold the curl better. THEN when I put those both on it was super clumpy so I used the neat spherical sparkly side of L'Oreal's Double Extend Eye Illuminating mascara, hahaha. So that's where the sparkle comes from! I like the brush because it gets rid of my clumps and it adds a bit of sparkle! Double win.
ReplyDeleteI did some comparisons today of SCs! Check 'em out :) And hopefully I'll try my glow in the dark soon!

PS...do you have a twitter?
No, I don't have a Twitter, but I should probably bite the bullet and get one! Soon, maybe!!
ReplyDeleteFor sureee. I was totally against it and have a personal one that I've used maybe one time...but I got one for the blog recently!
