Wander With Alice

There is a tassel! A Tassel! Have you ever seen an eyeliner with a tassel before? I haven't, and that is why I bought this Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil Kohl Kajal Eyeliner even though I have never enjoyed Physicians Formula Kohl Kajal Eyeliners in the past. I have bought two sets of trios from their Shimmer Strips line, and they were not lasting and they smudged as if it was pouring out that day. But this liner is from their Argan Wear line, so I figured the formula  would be different. And boy was it different!

The L'oreal Carbon Black Line is one of my favorite L'oreal Lines because all their eye products have the most intense, blackest of black pigmentation. So I decided to pick up the  Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner  to see if it will live up to the  "CARBON BLACK" reputation.

I love Gel Pencil Liners for their soft texture and their intense pigmentation. However, I have the problem of them smudging on me. So I am always on the hunt for that one gel liner that will give me the least bit of smudging without compromising the soft-gel texture and the awesome color. ...And I stumbled upon these at CVS... Wet N Wild On Edge LongWearing Eye Pencils . These are $3.49 each, and there are six colors to choose from in this line.

Initially I was impressed with how black this Kajal Matte Eye Pencil swatched on the back of my hand. I also love the fact that it is also Matte, which is a nice change since I had a lot of experiences where a liner will claim to be matte, but it still have a shine to it.  Then I used it on my eyes...

I wasn't a huge fan of their "Liquid Eye Liquid-Like Eyeliner" in pencil form when I tried them out years back when they are all the rage. Everyone was comparing the pencil to the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners, which was the reason on why I tried them to begin with. They smudged so badly within an hour of wear that I had to put them away for good. Then I saw these "The Liquid Eye Liquid-like Eyeliner Pencils" in the mechanical/retractable version and wondered if it was the same smudge crazy formula I had tried years back, or has Milani changed their formula since then? So I picked up the black and blue liners to find out.

Waterproof Gel Eyeliners are my favorite "pencil" eyeliners to use. I love the silky textures and the intensity of colors, as well as the longevity of the color on the waterline that Gel Pencil Liners give. So I was very happy to see Maybelline coming out with their version of these gel liners.

Here is L'oreal's newest addition to their amazing, fantastic, awesome, incredible Voluminous Line. Can you tell I am a fan? But really, I was so excited when I saw their new display at my local CVS store, and immediately picked it up...once it was on sale of course!  I have put these to the test a couple times in the last two weeks and the results are...let's just say I expected more from the Voluminous Line.
