My experience with Sephora eye contour eye pencil:
I’m fast falling for our Sephora. I know the high end brands are really expensive here in but this makeup land is too good for my senses. On my recent trip I discovered the whole Sephora and although most of the brands were out of my budget but I liked a lot of products from the brand “Sephora” itself and I picked up a few. I’m going to go back there as soon as I save more! Coming to this eye pencil, the shade was love at first sight! When I want to buy new eye pencils, I mostly first swatch the shades on my hand and then, try to rub them off after some 7-10 minutes to check on their staying power. But this beauty set itself on my hand within 2 minutes and even after vigorous rubbing there, it hardly moved from my hand.

The packaging is simple with the shade printed at the end, which makes it easy to identify. It’s in a sharpenable form, so wastage is bound to happen. But since I’m more inclined towards using sharpenable pencils, it’s ok by me. With retractable pencils, you sacrifice sharpness and with these sharpenable pencils, you incur wastage but also acquire sharpness. Gosh! I sound like an accounts teacher! The opacity of the pencil is pretty good. It gets close to full intensity in 2-3 swipes. And, the staying power is remarkable. It stays on my very oily eyelids intact until removed! I have worn it for more than 10 hours and the shade did not faded a bit or smudged. It is also waterproof. I ran my swatch arm under tap and even after rubbing the wet swatch, it did not move. The texture is soft which is responsible for its quality of gliding onto eyelids without any tugging. But it’s not as soft as the other two Sephora eye pencils I reviewed HERE and HERE. I’m glad because that only means no crumbly tip. 


I’m falling in love with these Sephora eye pencils. They come in a lot of variety of shades. I saw more than 15 shades (all in stock!) there and had to stop myself from buying more. These not just have good pigmentation but also a really soft texture that doesn’t hurts the eyes. I wouldn’t want something to drag on my eyelids which are such a sensitive area. But what wins my heart the most is their striking staying power, along with them being waterproof pencils.


In short,
–        It’s a beautiful striking bright blue shade.
–        The shade is printed at the end of the pencil, which makes it easily identifiable.
–        Since it’s a sharpenable pencil, some wastage is bound to occur.
–        The texture is smooth which means no tugging on the eyelids.
–        It gets near to full opacity in 2-3 swipes.
–        The staying power is remarkable! It stays on my oily eyelids until removed and the intensity remains intact.
–        It’s also waterproof.

   *Please excuse the messy and unfilled eyebrows. It’s just that out of the 300 lot, these are the only swatch pictures that have the accurate shade swatch! Some shades are really hard to capture especially with my regular digi cam*

I have wore something on my lower lashline after I think, some 6-7 months?! I only wear a nude kajal on my lower lashline. But I have been wearing black a lot lately..
