Price: Regular price of ~$10; Cheapest when on sale $5-6
About: I have heard lots of wonderful reviews about Revlon ColorStay being one of the top drugstore pencil eyeliners there is to offer, so I decided to buy one to try it out for myself around 4 months ago. I got this during a sale at rexall a while back. It cost me $5 so it was definitely worth a try. I would say I have an oily t-zone along with an oily eyelid as the day goes on. It is definitely really difficult to just find an eyeliner that won’t smudge for me. I first tried using this alone for a long time and I did notice that by mid-day the eyeliner would have smudged (~4 hours of wear). It would still remain on my eyelid but the definition of a thin line becomes nonexistent. I usually line my eyes very thinly, but by mid-day it would be a really thick line. So by this time my rating for it would be only a 3/5.
Next, I tried lining it with eye shadow on top of it. This method is turning out to provide longer staying power. With eye shadow, this can last me till the end of the day with a visible defined line with little smudging. This is why I ranked it a 4/5 in the end.
This is a retractable pencil liner so you have the convenience of not having to sharpen it. This design is perfect for me cause I am very lazy.
The 1 mark is off cause even though it has promised a long staying power, it is not really following through on my eyelids if applied alone.
This is still one of the better eye liners out there, drug store wise. I think this will work fine for me in the winter when my eyelids aren’t that oily. I definitely still need to look for a better one especially in the summer when my oily eyelids + sweaty summers are going to smudge absolutely everything off!
Pro:
- Retractable pencil
- Built in sharpener
- Multiple Shades to choose from
Con:
- Smudges (for me at least)
- Don't like the sharper that comes with it at the end of the pencil
Repurchase? Maybe
My next try is the Revlon ColorStay liquid liner! Hopefully that will work out better. If not, then I might end up sticking with this and lining it with eyeshadow. Still I would prefer not having the hassle of an extra step in the morning. :P
