Landbis Quick Eyeliner Review by thiamere

Eyelining is step that most girls do not skip. It makes a big difference when you line your eyes. It could change your eye shape! That's why looking for a good eyeliner is quite tricky. I'll be reviewing the eyeliner that i got from KKCenterhk.com.



I've had this eyeliner for a few months already & i have fully tested it & i guess it's an ok product.

Let me give you a swatch first...


I lightly swatched this just once & you'll see how pigmented this is. It's great for dark smokey looks because this one is soft & you can easily smudge it unlike other liners that takes forever in smudging. This one is pliable & you can easily smoke it out by just running a q-tip or angled brush over it for a few times.

Now, i'll point out the things that i like about this....

First, it's an automatic liner which is quite handy because you won't need to sharpen it every other then especially when you're in a hurry.


Admit it, girls, how many times have you've promised yourself that you would sharpen your favorite liner after every use but haven't done so? I used to love my Lancome Crayon Kohl but i always tend to forget sharpening it up until i just lost it! hahaha! So this is a good thing that you would just have to twist it.

Though i have to say, one thing that i like about pencil liner is how hygienic it is. I mean you can easily disinfect pencil liners by dipping it in an alcohol,. let it dry then sharpen it & you got yourself a new, clean, eyeliner once more.

 Second, i said before that it's very easy to work with this because it is soft. You can achieve a beautiful smokey liner with just a few strokes. It's very "workable" that it's almost like a kohl.. minus the goopiness...hehe

Kohl liners are amazing but often times they are just too soft so it's hard to apply them. This liner is amazing in that sense. It's firm enough to let you draw a liner yet still soft to allow you to smudge them without rubbing on your lashline heavily.


I'm not a fan of smokey lining so i just applied it as it is here. I carefully worked with it making sure that i do not apply too much pressure just because i have this feeling that the more pressure i apply on my lashline, the more my lashes fall... not good because i have sparse lashes to start with!

One thing that i just don't like about this is that this is not waterproof.
My main requirement for eyeliner is that it ought to be waterproof. What with me being sweaty & oily, only waterproof stuff works! I tried tightlining with this & after an hour, raccoon-eyes alert! eeekkkk!!!!

I guess i can use this really as an eyeliner not something to tightline with but i prefer my liners to be of multi-use.  *sigh*
I guess it's hard to look for a liner that could keep up with my preferences,huh?

This could be liked by individuals who doesn't have oily lids to start with & has deep set eyes. Why only those with deep-set eyes? I have a semi-monolid eyes & everytime i blink, the pigment would transfer from my lashline to my lids... Can you just imagine how messy & awful that looks on me?

But i still use this when i would just have to do a quick errand & i don't have the luxury of time to wait for my liquid liner to dry.

As for the price, i'll leave it to you.
I think the price is not bad because this liner is really pigmented. It is sold for $9.51 at KKCenterhk.com. You can check it out HERE.

PROS:

  • pigmented
  • soft & easy to work with
  • perfect for dark smokey eyelining
  • no need to sharpen
  • cute packaging (black with pink dots...how cute is that?)
CONS:
  • not waterproof
  • not transfer-resistant
  • have to use an oil-based remover to get rid of the traces left
  • only available online
Will i buy it?
If they will have a waterproof version, i would gladly do so. 

What is your favorite eyeliner?
Please share!

Hope you all are having a great day!
Jaa ne~!
