Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner Review


I haven't been using this for very long but I have been wearing it all week and I am in love. When I first got it (and the shade I have is matte charcoal, by the way), I was using the smudge tip so it wasn't appearing very pigmented. Therefore, I wasn't exactly in love with this product, and wasn't sure when I was ever going to wear it. Well, I stopped using the smudge tip and fell in love.  It goes on so smoothly, the color is fantastic, and it lasts throughout the day. And I mean, it truly stays in place (too many eyeliners, especially Sephora's Nano eyeliner, which I really do like, have a tendency of leaving lines on the top of the eye) all day, as though you've just applied it. It also applies very precise and accurately, which is a real pleasure.  It does claim to be waterproof  but to be honest, it came right off with a Simple Cleansing Facial Wipe. Anyway, I have tried a lot of eyeliners, hoping to find the most perfect form and type for me, and I have been disappointed by a lot of them. This one, however, is my favorite so far. Yes, at $12 it is a little pricey but you do get a lot of product and it is truly worth it. As I mentioned above, I do only have one color but I hope to return to Sephora soon as pick up a few more.
