Helloooo guyssss!!!!!
#Pink is BACK!!!! I really miss blogging (but at the same time i had the BEST time ever in Europe so i didn't really remember about blogging back there *LOL*), i just arrived back in Surabaya two hours ago and i just have to write a bit! I hope you guys missed me! LOL. I want to let you know that the last entry before this one should be THIS haul post and not the Asian obsession one (that should be the second to last) but something went wrong (well actually we think that's because i accidentally published it when i was preparing for the "scheduled" posts-#Undecided actually predicted it beforehand *LOL*, she knows me that well) and it got pushed way back, it appeared even before the posts i made before i left for Europe, *LOL*. Just want to clear it up, in case anyone got confused while reading the entries back to back :).
Anyway, i prepared one more drafted filler entry and since i have no new post (or the strength to write a new one now), i decided to publish it today! Enjoy!

Review starts HERE :
I’m gonna review the eyeliner I’m
using right now : Dior’s Diorliner Precision Eyeliner (but if you’ve been
reading this blog for a while you’d know I don’t really write reviews without a
long winded back story, so be prepared haha). Like I said before, I only use
one (black) liquid eyeliner at a time, I also only stock one backup (currently
in my backup stash : NYX’s eye liner so that’s the next black liquid eyeliner
you can expect the review of from me,
it’ll only be used once I finished this Dior one though haha) because not only
black eyeliners doesn’t excite me (they are more of a necessity than a lovely
collectibles for me-you know I collect eye shadows, lippies, etc :p, it’s not
something I obsess and lust after, but yet plays a very important role in my
make up routines) but also because I’m afraid they might dries off in my stash.
I actually haven’t been using all
that much liquid eyeliner all of my life, this is my fourth brand (I’ve used a
total of five eyeliners). My very first one was never even finished, I hardly
ever touched it and it dries off on its own (clearly because I neglected them
for years, not because of its formula or quality, it was 100% my own doings
haha) because i didn’t know how to use a liquid eyeliner properly yet.
I only
imitated my sister and my sister in law’s way of doing their eyeliners back
then, which is a very thin black line (at first I was really sure I couldn’t do
it but I actually managed to do it on the first try. This is definitely one of
my flaws, I underestimate myself too much sometimes that I am not even willing
to try. And I always surprise myself when I can do it perfectly with one try
*LOL*, this is especially true when it comes to applying make ups :p) and it
that style of eyeliner applications didn’t flatter my eye shape, instead of
opening them up that thin lines made my eyes looked smaller than they actually
are.
That very first eyeliner was Courreges,
my sister bought it for me when I went to TP’s Sogo Department Store many years
ago. It was when I was in high school, so a very very long time ago lah hahaha.
It was a marker type of eyeliner (and the only type I wear up until now, again
I don’t think I’d do well with the thin brush type of liquid eyeliner and am not
very interested to try them anyway haha) and quite expensive, I totally regret
wasting it away ahahaha. I remember it was very good too (the product), too bad
I was still so bad at applying make up back then haha, just starting out you
know.
My second eyeliner was Canmake’s,
I was curious to try liquid eye liner again watching my close friend M putting
them on everyday, it was during our University days and we majored in Tourism
so we went out of town (and out of the country) a lot for excursion studies and
field trips (to learn how to make our own tour products, how to be an actual
Tour Leader and Tour Guide, etc) and we were very close (you know, being with
the same persons everyday, travelling with them, etc). M had a double eyelid surgery, and using eyeliners
made her eyes appear bigger and prettier, so naturally I was intrigued.
During one of my many trips to
Singapore (my mum’s half Singaporean, all of her siblings and her mum lives
there and we owned a condo there so we go there all the time, I also used to
live there to study for 3 years) I got myself a Canmake liquid eyeliner and
found out that thicker strokes works on me, they really does accentuate my eyes
well, make them appear bigger and doll-like. I also learnt different flicks can
make a huge difference on how your overall eye make up effects look like. I was
instantly in love and never stop using liquid eyeliners ever since. Overall I
think I love my Canmake eyeliners the most (out of the four I’ve used haha).
After I finished my Canmake
eyeliners I went looking for another marker liquid eyeliner, online shops were
on a rage back then (the ones on friendster, FB types) and I was very intrigued
to try E.L.F’s products, that was the first time I heard about that brand and I
was shocked to see their prices hahaha. The online shop had a PO system (sadly
it’s no longer operating I think) and the more you buy it the cheaper it got, I
also informed #Undecided and #G, and we went a bit crazy LOLOL. We bought so
much E.L.F products that we paid IDR 19.000 for each products, I know they
priced USD 1 or something in USA but this kind of price’s pretty fantastic
already after shipping etc, nowadays the cheaper E.L.F products I found in
local online shops are around IDR 38.000 zzzz.
Anyway, one of the product I
ordered was E.L.F’s marker liquid eyeliner, #Undecided ordered the same thing
because she wanted to try to put on liquid eyeliner, or so she said. Turned out
she tried it once and almost poke her eye and immediately gave it too me, too
scary she said LOLOL. SO! I had two E.L.F’s liquid eyeliner that I used back to
back. It was okay for its ridiculous price, but it did stained my eyelid. With
my type of Oriental eyelid (hidden), the eyeliner would stain my upper lid.
Super annoying. But I’m not one to waste products so I finished them all anyway
hahaha.
That leads me to this eyeliner. I
was running out of the E.L.F liners and when my mum went to Jakarta she asked
me what I wanted her to buy for me. I asked for a marker liquid eyeliner. I was
thinking something like… You know, Maybelline, L’Oreal, or Revlon. Something
mass market lah. But she got me this Dior eyeliner -____-. Personally I wouldn’t
pay that much money for an eyeliner haha.
Anddd… I really don’t think its
worth the price! Haish. Okay lah, start with the first thing first. The
packaging’s okay, just a normal black marker style wand. It’s black (again,
very common) with silver accents (been using it for a while and the writings
all still very vivid and perfect, so I guess the accent’s quality is pretty
good, should be for such an expensive eye liner!). As usual, let me show you
the official picture from the web so you can see them in a professional light
*LOLOL*.
Now my crappy version :p :
What’s different from the other
eyeliners I used before is the little part in the bottom where you can twist to
let the product out.
That part i was pointing at |
The brush’s also normal looking,
it is softer than the other eyeliners I used before. Again, I’ve been wearing
this for some time that the brush start to spread out haha, it wasn’t like this
in the beginning, more pointy and firm.
The twist in the bottom was provided
to ease you to control the amount of product you want to use but sadly I really
dislike this kind of feature. One or two twists, nothing would come out. Three
or more, plenty would, like totally crazy much! They will flood out of the
brush and I’d be panicked and apply too much eyeliner -___-, so most of the
time when you see me with a very dramatic eyeliner on my eyes, I didn’t do it on purpose. I hate
wiping my make up and start over so I almost always adjust my make up, so it’d
be a dramatic eye make up day for me LOLOL. Now you know the truth zzzz.
This is what happens whenever i lost patience (after twisting a few times and nothing would come out) and twists too much!! |
I just hate this kind of packaging in general, i mean.. i loved the idea and when i read about it (long time ago in a magazine for other products) it seemed like a very good idea, but once i have it in real life... i HATE it! LOL. I also have lip glosses with this kind of twisty end and they sucks too!
They also said to shake it before
using, I always do, but on the first tries the liquid shot of the wand all over
me LOLOL, like I’d been squirted by an octopus FML zzzz. Also all over my mirror *I use a full length
mirror to do my make up*.
Applications aren’t that easy
too, due to its consistency (very watery), it’s a bit streaky and uneven. I
have to stroke a few times to get them to even out. And I dunno whether it’s
because Dior’s not specifically targeted for Asian women (or weather) or
whatever, maybe the consistency’s better for drier and colder climates? I find
it harder to apply during the super hot season, it is slightly easier and nicer
to use nowadays that Surabaya’s kinda cooler with the frequent rains (I’m
writing this entry earlier last month, nowadays Surabaya’s getting super HOT
again although it still rains sometimes). This takes sometime to dries off, I
made a few mistakes opening my eyes too soon and smudging them all over my lid
zzzz.
I also always curl my lashes
before mascara, right after applying liquid eyeliners. I always wait a few
minutes to make sure the liners already dries off, but even so, I found the
lines would turn patchy after using the eyelash curler!!! I’d see some products
would attach themselves on the curler, OMG!!! I found a trick to minimize this,
that is by applying some powder eye shadows on top of the line, it helps to
keep them in place but also disrupt the boldness of the color of the eyeliner
zzz. And like I said, since it is hard to draw an even line with one stoke I’d
have to re-line a few spots a few times to even out the color, but the more I apply
the more product would also attach itself to the eyelash curler. ZZZZ!
Excuse my horrible hand writing, focus on the consistency instead :p, very uneven :( |
The good thing about this
eyeliner is once it is set, it’ll stay on my eyelid all day long until I take
them off. They don’t smudge and won’t stain my eyelid (thumbs up!). But i don’t
think it’s waterproof (there is no statement of it being waterproof on the wand
so I can’t fault this LOL) because sometimes my eyes would become watery and
whe it’s very watery I found the lines to be cut off (I always extend the line
over my actual eyes right) LOLOL FML. I look idiotic whenever that happens
haih.
It looks okay if i just splash water on it, but if you continue doing it it'll start to dissapear |
Definitely not smudge proof, i lightly touched it and rub it a little bit and this is the instant result |
All and all I am not in love with
this eyeliner, but I will continue to use it until it’s finished, coz I don’t
want to waste it lah hahaha. Do I recommend this? I don’t think so, maybe if
you don’t live in tropical countries? You might find it suits you, who knows
hehe. Will I repurchase? No, of course not. Haha. Not only it’s too expensive
(I don’t buy premium make ups much, my mum or sis always buy them for me, or
give me the products they bought for themselves but not using), I also do not
like how it’s performing (this is purely my take, if you’re interested on
trying it you can read other reviews. One person’s poison could be another’s
treasure you know) on my eyes. I honestly found myself liking e.l.f’s USD 1
eyeliner more than this -____-.
Hope you find this review
helpful! If you have any suggestion for any black liquid marker eyeliner do
kindly leave me a comment! I’m still searching for that perfect liquid eyeliner
hahah :D.
