Lancome Le Crayon Khol - Noir

Everybody is searching high & low for products they consider as they can't live without. & of course, i am looking for those products & as of now, i only have 2. It would be this eyeliner & my UDPP.

I so love this liner! One swipe & it looks great...2 swipes & it's really marvelous...Im in love!

Just like most people, i prefer lining my waterline with eye pencils. Liquid liners just goes on the top to emphasize it the most. Actually i don't use liquid liner much. I'll just use it in case my gel liner or liner brush is missing. I have tried using eyeliner pens & i think its better than liquid liners all because you can apply it with steady hands.

Anyways, on to my review. I have used a couple (not all,mind you) of eyeliners from low-end to high end brands. Ever since i began using makeup, liner is something that i have to have. I used it to emphasize my eyes. What i hate about using liners before is me looking like a raccoon in just a couple of minutes!talking about those years of naively exploring makeups,huh?& i thought before that it was supposed to look like that..

I would get ghastly smudges especially if i put it on my waterline. & if some dirt gets inside my eyes & i instinctively rub it, then expect that i would have panda eyes as soon as i take my hands off of my eyes. Of course before, i didn't know that there's such a thing as kohl & that its supposed to be used to achieve a smoky effect. But being the gullible college student, I just brought stuff that i keep on hearing is good.

Now that i know the high & lows of applying makeup, its easier for me to know the whats & hows. As what you may already gather, i love to emphasize my eyes, & up until now i still do. I love the mild dramatic effect look. So smokey eyes are what i always do & of course, kohl pencils are a must in doing this. Kohl's are soft that's why.

This liner i use to tightline & with how dark this liner is, it looked like my work was done by a professional. It dramatically lifts & enhances my eye shape. You don't need to reapply every now & then because it stays. Of course, being a kohl pencil, there would be some time when it would fade, but its not like others that would just disappear a few hours after you put it on.

I did a smokey eye one time, tightline my eyes in the morning....
went about...
met bf...
eat lunch...
-check mirror...still there!atta,girl!love it!
stroll around with bf....
go shopping....
then coffee break....
-check mirror...a little has left, but still looks good...
decided not to touch it up just yet...
walk around some more...
went to arcade....
played with guns....
basketball...!
getting hungry...gonna eat dinner...
-check mirror...now i need to touch up...

There..that was how my day went with my Le Crayon & i think she did a pretty good job staying there, not moving & smearing about & not giving me raccoon eyes!How's that?!Pretty good,huh?

Though im thinking that maybe the waterproof one's staying power is longer than the classic khol. Ohhh...& one of the best part of this is that, its very pigmented that you don't need to sharpen them over & over. I've had it for months now & as far as i can remember, i just sharpen it once! waaaahhhhh! How's that again?! Cool,huh?

With how things are going on, im really so happy that i got this. By the way, It's included in the makeup set & was given to me as a present & i so love it! If by some miracle i ran out, i wouldn't hesitate paying that much for a product that i know works really good. I've been dying to try the Guerlain Eyeliner & Loose Kohl, but since im satisfied with this, im A-ok.

I think I am using the classic one! I can't even tell the difference :) But you're right, to be able to find an eyeiner that doesn't give you a raccoon eye is a WINNER! :) thanks for this
