Eyeliners: Italia - 8 set of Colorful Eyeliners for $6.25! Hot or Not? Review

I got this beautiful-looking set of Eyeliners for Christmas and was immediately intrigued. The pencils themselves look sophisticated with their sleek-black exteriors, and their colorful tips let you know which color they are on the inside without you having to pull off the cap. 

These eyeliners come from a brand named Italia and they are extremely inexpensive. This 8-piece set costs $6.25 at Amazon. Judging from what I see online of what products this brand has to offer, it seems to be in the same category as companies like, BH Cosmetics, where they buy makeup in bulk from a wholesaler and slab on their company name, hence why everything from companies like these all have the same look and same price points. 

I have no problem with companies like these. They are actually quite nice when you are starting out and on a budget. You can really get a lot with a small amount of allowance and there are some great products available, if you are willing to find them. The downside of this is that you will not find anything unique about their products, since the companies are not creating their own unique cosmetic formulas, they are just buying from overseas warehouses full of basic, ready to ship makeup. 

Now let's talk about these eyeliners.

The colors are vivid and beautiful, and they actually apply, as vivid as, their colorful tips.

Their textures actually vary from soft to extremely soft. 

I noticed that the extremely soft or creamy liners all bleed and smudge to the point where the product travels all over your face. These overly creamy pencils are useless as eyeliners. However, they make great cream eyeshadows since they are easy to smudge out. They make even better bases for your eyeshadows because they are a bit tacky. 

The less creamy or less soft pencils actually hold up quite nicely as an eyeliner, but their lasting power is quite weak. They start fading after a few hours and will need reapplication. 

Do I recommend these liners? Even at their price, I would not. 

One, because not everyone wears these colorful colors on a daily basis, and Two, even if you want a nice pop-of-color liner, these will not last you through the day.

I rate these 1.5 out of 5.0.

I hope this review was helpful!
