SEPHORA Jumbo eye pencil review

Let's talk about Jumbo Eyeliner. I'm a big fan of this Jumbo eye pencil! yes! this fellow is from Sephora. I know it's not popular like NYX Jumbo eye pencil but still it's my favorite. If you are asking me either one, I will choose Sephora Jumbo eyeliner as my ultmate choice!  

Texture

Creamy and glides smoothly and buttery on the skin without giving heavy feeling to it.

Once applied it would sets very fast with in few seconds. So, we need to blend it straight away before the color fixed and set. 

Packaging

I don't really like the packaging! I need to be honest with this. I have lost the caps for many times, it always separating off from the body and due to that, the pencil made a horror mess in my makeup bag! Horrible packaging, I wish they come out with a "lock" pencil packaging like Revlon pencil balm packaging. Seriously, I feel like throwing it out because I really sick of losing the caps for hundred times! before this I did bring this product into my makeup bag but now, no more! I won't ever ever include this pencil into my makeup bag anymore. These three pencils are now safely sitting in my vanity with other eyeliners.

Colors:

I believe there is almost 10 colors on Sephora shelf in Malaysia. I chose these three colors because they are in natural shades which is high probably I will reach them the most compared to colorful pencils. Anyhow, I would love to collect most of their vibrant fun colors since they are highly pigmented and set on the lids very fast. The pigmentation is superb, can't ask for more, it is enough , a strong intense color for a jumbo eye pencil. 

Following is a video showing a smudge-proof test

Overall, I really loved this Jumbo eye pencil because of the "smudge and water proof" concept and since I have oily eyelids, this works heavenly  good on me especially when I faced hot heat weather in Malaysia. Of course everything on the face going to melt. haha

Longevity

I had gone through an experience with this lil girl when I used it from morning , 9 am until 12 am (almost 15 hours) , the color was remain there even after 15 hours! Surprisingly, for the whole day I was sweating heavily (due to events trainee work as well as wall climbing activity after the events ends). The color was there but after 10 hours it started creasing. Nevertheless, it still looks pretty on eyes even after 15 hours wearing it on. Cool product even I didn't put any eyeshadow powder on top of it, it's still be a hero.

Since then, I'm amazed with this Jumbo pencil formula and started collecting it slowly from copper to beige and finally brown. Will I purchase more colors from this line? Definitely YES

It works as;

eyeshadow primer

eyeshadow

eyeliner

inner corner highlighting

lower lashes/ waterline liner

highlighter on cheekbones, brow bone, nose bone and etc

Honest from my heart, I would recommend this Jumbo eye pencil to all including YOU! Go try it yourself, I know it's going to be your favorite too!

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils Review (Yogurt, Pure Gold, Strawberry Milk & Milk)

"A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous."

NYX Jumbo eye pencil has been popular since the line was introducing to the market. It works as  cream eye shadow in a stick as well as base eye shadow also known as eye primer. Not only that, the pencil also functioning like normal size eye pencil- draw eyeliner on eye or on lower lashes eyeliner.

Eventually I have 5 colors in my collection but other one; Iced Mocha is almost similar with yogurt. therefore I gave it to my sister.

I only picked up "light color family" instead of darker colors because I want to use them as natural daily eye makeup "cream shadow" and primer. Not only that, they are great as inner corner and waterline highlighting.
The reason why I picked up "milk" because it is the best seller color and personally I feel it works great as a base-eye shadow color as it boosts up any light less-pigmented eye-shadow color.

USES of Jumbo Eye Pencil:

1. Eyeliner ( use brush to get precise line)
2. Eyeshadow
3. Base eyeshadow/primer
4. Inner corner highlighter (tear duct area)
5. Waterline highlighter
6. Cheekbones/ nose bone/ brow bone highlighter
7. Brighten up under eye are

Colors

This line has varies of colors from solid  matte white until metallic colors, 32 colors in total.   

They have intensely pretty colors and creamy. On top of that, you can blend the eye shadow to soften the color which is very easy to work with. 

Have you ever faced this kind of problem? Less-pigmented eyeshadow, very dissapointed yet feel wasted to throw it away? If yes, this Jumbo eye pencil is the savior! 

It picks up the eye shadow and turns it into a beautiful vibrant color!

Texture

It is easy to blend, glides smoothly onto the skin as well as creamy.  

However, this product is not smudge-free cream shadow and water-proof either.  It would smudge and fading off if we rub the area harshly. They may creased a little bit if you apply it heavily. Hence, after applied it on the lids, you need to blend it well to get a pretty eye shadow color.

Staying Power

I would say around 4 to 7 hours depending on the way you used it. If you applied powder eyeshadow on top of it, it will lasts until 6 to 7 hours. If only the cream shadow, I would say around 4 hours and later on it would creasing. 

However, last time in a photo-shoot, a vibrant green color of Jumbo eye pencil was applied on my lower lashes by a makeup artist and I found that it lasts more than 8 hours. I guess the colors did influence the longevity. 

Packaging

Jumbo size makes it's hassle to do precise eyeliner line, nevertheless it works well in coloring the lids and also for inner corner highlight. It has clear cap which is a good thing so that I can see the color easily, anyhow the cap is made from thin  plastic that easily broken. Need to store carefully and once it's broken the product will get messed up. *refer to the photo.

Personal Rating: 2.5 / 5

This is because I only used them several times only when I need something to boost up my less-pigmented eye shadow and to get vibrant colors for photo-shoot. I don't really use them for daily basis because they are tend to crease especially when I am sweating (I have oily eyelids because I am an outdoor girl, especially with Malaysia weather, you going to sweat a lot).  After all, it is a great basic jumbo eye pencil.

All opinions are truly mine. 

January 2014 favorites!

I know I'm late to post this out and it should be posted up on beginning of February or by ends of January, however, I really wanted to share my top picks in this month which is only 4 beauty favorites and one single non beauty favorite; it's a food.

MAC coral bliss is my first purchased product from MAC and after I tried it out, I'm kind of obsessed with the texture, smell and the packaging itself. I know I'm weirdo but smell is kind of important for me because when I put something any part on my face, I could smell it, so if it smells horrible I might not use the product and put it away. 

I'm not good in describing color but what I can say, it is corally pink which is a combination of coral with sweet pink. It just brighten the lips but at the same time, it keeps the lips look natural. 

If you ask me to choose either this color with other pink shades or maybe nudes, I would say, this color matches me perfectly! If I wear nudes, I'm gonna look like a zombie. If I applied light pink lipstick shades, I would look look weird. It doesn't looks natural on me. :P hahaha. My own conclusion: I'm a coral girl. 

Revlon Matte balm, everyone keeps talking about this. It just hits Malaysia in a month time and almost everyone keeps saying it is good , gives matte finish but at the same time it moisturised the lips. It is also highly raved amongst youtube gurus and I must admit it, this is a good product.It gives full coverage, intense color and great finish on the lips without drying the lips. However, I know when I say "however" it must be something negative. I don't like the smell. It has minty smell like normal Revlon Balm do and still I don't like the smell. Every time I applied this balm, I will keep my breath for awhile so that I won't smell it. haha. I know I sound funny. But the pigmentation is tip top.

Look at the color, very intense and you can get full color with only one swipe. 

L'oreal Infaillible has entered to Malaysia in awhile ago for the "limited edition colors all away from UK". It's UK edition not US, therefore the colors choices are not broad enough. I am not good in describing color but as you can see, it looks like taupe-y brown with micro gold shimmer in it. The color and pigmentation is so pretty and when I use it, there no fall-out, everything stay in placed. 

I got mine in complementary piece from ONLY BEAUTY sale, Thank you so much! Go check the website and facebook page, they always do awesome clearance sale and attractive samples and gifts for the members! Go join the membership, it's FREE!

Crabtree & Evelyn is my favorite hand cream even some peolpe doesn't like it but it will be my forever favorite. It may costs expensive in Malaysia Ringgits anyow it is totally a worth splurge! One tube of 100 ml lasts forever. Even the pocket size 10ml tube I need 3 to 4 months to finish it. We just need a tiny pea size of it because the texture is very thick and it absorbs very fast into the skin as well as moisturising the hands without giving greasy feeling.
Lily is my favorite scent among the all but still , there are few scents that I liked.

Finally, a single non-beauty favorite! I'm kinda obsessed with this chocolate piece! Tim Tam, I know it tastes very sweet  and not everyone likes it. But I always eat it piece by piece in interval time, not at one time. It's my addiction, I will look for it in every hour and each hour I will eat it per piece.Need to drink a lot of water after eating this.  

Too Cool For School DINOPLATZ pearl bay invasion highlighter/luminizer review

This luminizer is available in 2 shades; mother pearl and baby pink dam. Mine is in baby pink dam which is can be described as champagne pink with golden glow. 

How to use it:
1) Mix with daily foundation so it would gives dewy finish to the skin.
2) Apply at certain places; cheekbones, nose bones, brow bones and others to give extra dimension, glowing and get a pleasant dewy look. 

Texture

It is cream-based product, has Light  texture (weight-less) and at the same time  it's doesn't feels sticky. 

The best part is, the product doesn't makes pores visible. Some highlighter or luminizer would makes pores look more obvious and visible but not with this buddy. 

Longevity

After testing it out in few days, I found out that it would last longer if we put powder on top of it. The longest it could stays on the skin would be 4 to 5 hours. 

Packaging

Since I don't have the real bottle therefore I can't give any words on the packaging. Sorry babes! But the design on the sachet is so cute! Dinoplatz line has great simple "dinosour world" makeup design, not too manly, not too feminine, more into cute art. 

When the luminizer applied on the skin, it would gives natural glowing and doesn't make skin looks too glittery or shimmer. It just gives fine shine and it is great for daily basis of highlighter. 

I don't know why the highighter doesn't shown up in the picture. Hurgh! 

There's two ways to use it.

1) By mixing this luminizer with current foundation to create glowing face complexion

2) Apply it on cheekbones, nose bone, brow bone to highlight and gives extra dimension to the face. It creates 3D effects along with high -look nose bone. That is what I normally do in my daily makeup especially for night-makeup, I would use this cream as a base and top it with "Bobbi Brown 24 Karat brick powder". That is another awesome highlighter! If you have the money, go splurge on it. It's totally worth every ringgits you spent. 

My personal Rate: 3 over 5
