Hello Dolls!
I guess this is the first time I've done a post about eyeliner. Really? Yeah, I think so. Just because I rarely bought eyeliner, it doesn't mean I never using eyeliner. I just never repurchased eyeliner until it's ran out, that's why I only have 1-2 eyeliners on my makeup pouch. Lol. Actually when using eyeliner, I find it a little bit troublesome sometimes. That's why I feel so lazy to use my eyeliner except when I go to the mall, church, etc. I really envy people who can create the perfect winged eyeliner, maybe I just need more practise to master it. Lol. In fact, I prefer liquid eyeliner compared to gel eyeliner coz it usually has more vivid black color, pointed brush, and better smudge-proof level. But, whenKKCENTERHK offered me some makeup products to try, I was quite fascinated with Landbis Light Pink Smolder Pencil Eyeliner in Thicken Black and thought I should give it a try. :D Therefore, let's take a close look at this eyeliner... ^^

PACKAGING
This pencil eyeliner comes with a hot pink plastic wrap and I think that you commonly found this wrap when you bought a ball-point pen coz their wraps has the same model right? :P So yeah, the eyeliner itself also comes in plastic and glossy pen-like packaging with a mix of magenta and black colors. I think the packaging is quite simple with a black cap but also very portable and make it easier to carry arround. ;)
Please forgive me for my fault, actually the eyeliner tip isn't blunt like below. The actual eyeliner tip is pointed but I forgot to completely twist down the stick so as you've already expected, the end result is like this. >.< But lucky me the eyeliner is still reusable. ;)
TEXTURE & SWATCH
I saw this eyeliner formula looks like a crayon but it's much thinner and more convenient to use. I drew a heart-shape to show you the texture and the thickness of this eyeliner. ;) The texture is soft and creamy as stated on its description above with bold color that also can be built up to desired result.
So actually I never experienced smudging or smearing when using my favourite liquid eyeliner, but since this is a pencil eyeliner therefore here's I show you a little experiment to let you know the smudge-proof strength. I guess you already knew what will happen next if I rub it. Yeah, the color instantly fade and left.. Stain! -__- After 3-4 wipes, the color almost gone. Of course, it's definitely didn't pass my smudge-proof test. And I hope I don't forget to remind myself that I currently use a pencil eyeliner in the future so it will not 'transform' my eyes into panda eyes. Lol.
And let's move on to the next test, Waterproof Test! I put my hand under running water maybe about 1-2 minutes, and the color just fade slightly so I think this eyeliner passed my waterproof test. Hehe... But if you rub it, then it will completely gone. :P
And here's an EOTD that I created a while ago using this LANDBIS pencil eyeliner. I applied the eyeliner on my upper and lower lash line. I found it's harder to apply the eyeliner with eye makeup on because it tends to crease and I need to apply it for 3-4 times.
WHAT I LIKE
- Cute & simple packaging, also very portable
- Soft & creamy texture
- Rich black color
- Waterproof
- The color level can be built up to desired result
- Very easy to use
- Good staying power (Note. if you dont rub it :P)
- Suitable for daily use and natural makeup
WHAT I HATE
- Failed on smudge-proof test- It's hard to apply with eye makeup on and it tends to crease
And.. it's time for SELCA..! ^_^ Please excuse my 'narcissism' and so many photos.. I just can't can't select the best pictures.. Omo... :D sorry if it's kinda blurry too... :(

OVERALL THOUGHT
Rating: 3/5
Well, actually I really love this eyeliner if it could survive on smudge-proof test. But I don't blame this eyeliner because the texture itself doesn't seem to stay firmly if rubbed. I would recommend this eyeliner for daily makeup coz it's really easy & fast to use even for makeup beginners. Or maybe if you're the type of person who loved natural makeup, then this eyeliner will suit you best. I also would love to to use this eyeliner when I want to create a soft-smokey eyes. ;)
