The Small package I've been waiting for finally arrived. I got this off
Ebay on 30
th June 09. It arrived today , 17
th July 09. I think the
shipping time is very reasonable. The
seller must have sent it out within 1day of my purchase. However, the seller did not reply to any of my emails. I left a comment that I wish to be informed of the date my item is
sent out so I can
gauge when to expect the item. And when to assume that the parcel is lost. But I did not get any reply whatsoever, I emailed the
seller 2 times and messaged him/her via
ebay 2 times.
Didn't get any reply too. It's good that At least i got my items safely. It just felt like I was purchasing from a machine , feels really insecure even though the seller has a high rating.

This thing is TINY. Really tiny. The box is about 5" x4.5" (
abt 11
cm x12.5cm)
Left to Right: Yeyo, 1999, Zero, Burbon, Stash
Price : 4 / 5 , USD16 each (full size) .
Liners from promotional travel size packs are about half that of a full size liner.
Quality: 4 / 5
Finish/Texture: These either have a satin matte finish or satin w/ shimmers. They are VERY creamy and goes on so easily and doesn't tug my eyelids at all. These also smudges very nicely to create a softer/smokey look. Having said that, it also means you have to sharpen or shape the tip of the pencils more frequently because the tip will go blunt easily. Personally , I don't mind my eyeliners being a bit blunt, if I wanted a thin and precise application I'll use a liquid or gel liner instead. If you are someone who likes you eyeliner pencils to have a nice sharp tip, then you will be very irritated with these.
Lasting Power: These lasts the longest on me. They are totally on par with; better in some ways; than my HG Indelible gel liners. It is even better because the "ZERO", black color eyeliner, stays on my waterline for the longest time. I only have to touch up the very outer corners even though it's not really very obvious. This is the only thing that stays on my waterline for a reasonable period of time. Even when I used my indelible gel liners, I had to touch up my waterline every time I check the mirror.
However, some colors lasts longer than others. Namely, the shimmery ones don't last as long as the satin matte ones. Bourbon seems to fade a little, and the shimmers will sort of"disperse" after a while.
Overall: These are high quality eyeliners that applies beautifully. Although they are not cheap, they aren't the most expensive eyeliners around either. I wanted to try them out because there are so many good reviews about them. I wouldn't say I cant live without them. I know that, I can find good enough (but not as good) dupes of these from drugstore brands. With the help of a good eyeshadow primer, it's easy to make eyeliners smudge proof and waterproof too. Then again, can you resist these when there are so much hype about them? I obviously couldn't!

(TKB Trading Eye Primer)Net Weight :
0.2
oz
( in a 20gm matte black jar ) Ingredients: Petrolatum (vaseline), Beeswax, Ozokerite and Parafin waxes (mineral waxes), Cadelilla Wax (a plant based wax), the preservative Quarternium-18-Hectorite, and the film-forming ingredient Propylene Carbonate. It also contains color additives.Descriptions : Eye Fix is a lightly-hued primer which makes your loose powder eye shadows stay on the skin longer. It may also be used as a highlighter.Quanlity : 4.5 /5
Packaging : 3.5 /5
Price : 5/5 ( because i got the in a set it cost
very little for one. Singles cost
USD9.50)
I think both primers (
UDPP and eye fix) intensifies
eyeshadows as good.
When i rubbed the swatches, Eye fix smudged a bit more than
UDPP.
I noticed that with
UDPP i can pack on MORE powder without fall outs as compared to
the Eye fix.
Texture :I
depotted my
UDPP into a jar after the packaging
wont allow a good amount of product to come out. By that time the
UDPP was becoming more dried already. I got my
UDPP from a swap site so
i'm not sure if it was manufactured for a long time already .... But anyway, I cant apply my
UDPP as smoothly already because like i said it's
becoming more dried.
THe texture is thicker and i just cant get it to apply thinly and evenly. And because of this ,
sometimes my eyeshadow can
look a bit funky after
Long hours because there will be this DEFINED line between the area
where i have
UDPP on and the part that
doesn't.
You need very Little of this. This have to be applied really thinly/ The Eye fix had a really smooth texture, and it applies SUPER smoothly. It also feels very light .I use my ring finger to apply the
eyefix on my lids in a patting motion. Because with a brush, i get too much product on which will cause creasing. Basically i just gently pat/swipe my ring finger on the primer and pat it on my eye. It feels creamy and smooth, easier to blend than my
UDPP even when it
didn dry up.
Color: The eye fix is
defiantly lighter in shade than the
UDPP. It's like a fair foundation shade. And it tends to look like that on the eye. I apply this
all the way to my
browbone. The color works well as a highlighter too because its a fair nude shade. Which is good when sometimes i am in a hurry,
don't have to reach for a
separate highlighting color. But since it is a cream, some people might not like it on its own like that.
I
wont repurchase, probably. Because I have one that i am using right now. Seeing how little i need to use each time, it's going to last me forever.
definitely, longer than my
UDPP.
it was a good buy... I
haven't experienced creasing yet. But i
dont have very oily lids to begin with. Despite the poor reviews i saw on
youtube. I'm quite happy with this.
