Have you been seeing this Maybelline Impact Express Smooth Pencil Shadow on the shelf? Wonder how it performs?
It is actually in a softer pink, but camera WB just screwed it up. The good thing about pencil shadow is, it is easier to carry around, no messy application.
Now, let’s continue to the swatch.
Taken without flash. This shade is very accurate to the tone. It is shimmery too! However, the color is very very hard to go onto the skin, i actually did this with 6 or 7 strokes to get an obvious color. Very sad indeed.
After i smudged it REAL hard till my skin turned red, and the color just refused to go off! I don’t know if this is good or bad. But i see it as bad as it took me some hardcore cleansing to get the color completely off my lids.
Good: Easy to carry, love the color, comes in many shades too
Bad: Not pigmented at all, need to use hardcore remover to remove it off your lid. I wouldn’t recommend you to get this.
Price: RM22.90 in Watsons/Guardian.

ooh… the pink one didn’t do you good huh? The brown one is actually very nice and well-pigmented but I haven’t got the huge urge to buy it yet.
did u use an eye remover?
that’s a cute pink color! 🙂 thanks for sharing, that’s a kind of pink that would work on me 😀 I will check it out down here
Connie: yeah sad. and there is no tester there 🙁
Lisa: yeah i did, but it just refused come off properly
Nikki: better to test it first before you want to buy something. 😀
i tested, so far ok la~
but then ah, with ppl like me always doing mistake, being too smudge proof is a problem 😛
sigh. i want the maybelline gel liner.

I have the silver and the gold, and they’re both really pigmented (particularly the gold). They are a little hard to remove but they don’t really crease over a long period of time, either.
