Review: Pencil Me In Cosmetic's Eyeliner Pencils

I always enjoy finding small companies with great products. Pencil Me In Cosmetics is one of those companies. Linda Eisner, the company's owner and creator of the liner pencils, sent me six eyeliner pencils in various colors to try out. These pencils are natural, come in 30 shades, and each one includes a sharpener on the lid. Very clever! The pencils are also loaded with anti-oxidants and vitamins and, for $6.99 each, are a great deal. On to the review!

Each pencil has a sharpener built right into the cap.



With the cap on the pencil, simply twist. Easy!



The tip of the pencil cap pops off so that you can dispose of any shavings that are stuck.



Here are swatches of the colors that I received, from Left to Right: Jet Sparks, Greystone, Lapis, One Cent, Liberty Green, and Champagne Sparks. Each shade with "Sparks" in the name is a glitter liner.



After trying these liners out I must say that they are surprisingly pigmented! The color payoff is excellent and there is no tugging or pulling of the skin. The sparkles in the pencils are gorgeous and Jet Sparks is very similar to MAC's Black Tied, which I often use as a liner. Champagne Sparks is excellent as a shimmery color on your lower lash line. One thing you do need to watch for is to make sure you have properly cleaned off the sharpener after you've used it so that you don't get color all over your fingers/makeup bag/etc. We also found that the lettering on the pencils began to disappear after the first use so you may want to jot the names of the colors down if you have a bad memory (like me).



Overall, these pencils are an excellent value, especially for such great pigmentation and color variety. I honestly loved every color that I tried. Linda's site also has color suggestions for customers based on hair color and warm or cool tones.
