Hello readers! =D
I'm very pleased to review a product i bought while I was in Okinawa, Just so you guys know its part of the Ryukyu Islands off of Japan, which is also a part of Japan, although it it not main land Japan =( But its still fun, it's more like a province.
Anyways, I'm pretty sure alot of you guys have heard of this brand before, Dolly Wink which is a Japanese make up brand, which I think is mostly popular for their eyeliner. So, during my vacation, I managed to snag one from the drug storeish type of place in the machigua (or like a flea market kind of place, locals call it a machigua) I got it for about 1,260 en, or about $12.60 U.S dollars, although it's probably more since the conversion rate is pretty low...
However, I absolutely love this product!! This has got to be one of my absolute favorite eyeliners [I got liquid by the way, I'm not a huge fan of pencil liners since they have a huge tendency to smudge and can make you look like a raccoon by the end of the day if your not constantly watching your eyeliner... (>.<)]
As I live in a very hot and humid place, it's really important to me that my eyeliner doesn't smudge and run down my face. Especially since I don't want to take constant bathroom trips either...
However, the two times I've worn this eyeliner, it didn't smudge or anything, and I was in very hot and humid areas. Perhaps I wore it for about 4 hours or alittle more at most. But the first time I opened the package and applied it, I fell in love. The tip is very fine and felt like allowing you to make very thin clean lines, and also gives space to making the lines thicker. This eyeliner also give a very dark color as well.
It stands out for color in a rich black, while giving excellent control, even if you want to tightline your eyes, you can do so as well. It doesn't take too long to dry either.
Some cons that this eyeliner might face, is if your not into the whole dark color and want a softer look this might not be for you, however eyeshadow may soften the look. Also, when taking off this product, it was slightly hard. But it goes to show how excellent and long lasting this eyeliner is =D
Another good drug store liquid eyeliner I've tried is the revelon color stay. However, this particular eyeliner I didn't get it in black, I got it in a nior color which gives a softer black. The tip is similar to the dolly wink liner, where its a fine felt tip. However, with this eyeliner, it takes probably slightly longer to dry, an I've had a hard time using this to tight line my eyes, or perhaps liquid liner is just not made for tight lining?? Also, I've had to use more strokes to intensify the color, my fault for not buying the black color... But this liner lasts super long as well and can have the same effect as the dolly wink, as some may not be able to acquire this particular brand.
However, between the two liners, I have to say that my new Dolly wink liner is really winning against my revelon. It's not just the color, but also the fine point of the liner compared to the revelon.
Let me know if you guys have tired either liner =D
pics up soon
