Review: EYEKO Skinny Liquid Eyeliner

Liquid eyeliner by Eyeko. Featuring a long-lasting pigmented formula, the eyeliner has a pen style nib, ensuring for an easy application, allowing you to create thick feline flicks and thin defined lines for a smudge-proof finish.

How much does it retail for: Not too sure, you can buy it from people’s park complex level 3?

How much did I pay it for: 10 pounds from ASOS.com

Where did I get it/where can I get it: ASOS.com, I’m not sure if the EYEKO in Singapore carries the SKINNY liner anymore, I think it is being discontinued and replaced by the Graffitti liner. I could be wrong.

What I feel about it: I first heard of the brand Eyeko from the Youtube beauty gurus from UK and thought, what a unique looking brand. It goes sort of cartoony and the logo looks like a guitar pick. ASOS.com had a discount and so I took the plunge, bought the thing and waited for it to be shipped over (a long 2-weeks wait). I used to think the liquid liner look doesn’t suit me. I’m the all-kohl-all-smudge kinda girl. In fact, it took a while to make my drawn liquid line, straight.

Packaging: It has a silver pen-like packaging with simple words and design.

Scent: Smells like a liquid liner

Texture/Payoff: An intense black liner that is slightly shiny when set. The felt brush makes it easy for amateurs to have better control. After feeling more comfortable with a liquid liner, I wish it was just ever so slightly thinner for a more precise, near the lash-line line.

Finish: The liquid ink dries relatively quickly, leaving no chance for it to smudge onto your upper eyelid when you blink. Upon drying, the liner is budge and smudge-proof. It isn’t waterproof, so don’t depend too much on its resistance to unforeseen circumstances. However, as it is not waterproof, a water-based makeup remover easily removes it.

Rating: 3.7/5

Other thoughts: After using a few times, I noticed dried ink stains on the neck of the liner. Not sure where all those ink came from, but sure is a little waste! I had used the eyeliner on and off for about 3-4 months. It has already dried a little, just like when your marker pens run out of ink. Would have liked it more if it lasts longer and has a more flexible and thinner nib.

Stay tune for my Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner review!

YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME!!

A couple of days ago, I went on a short, lovely trip to Genting Highlands, land of cool air and gamblers. I enjoyed my trip very much. A day after returning from the well-deserved trip, I FOUND OUT THAT I LEFT MY MAKE UP BAG IN THE HOTEL ROOM.
How stupid is that?
Apparently, I had placed it in one of the inconspicuous drawers underneath the TV. I kept it there, out of sight, so that we could put our room on service. And I totally forgot about it, until I couldn't find it back at home. Boo.
Got the BF to call Resort Hotel Genting. It was there! BUT they don't do mail services whatsoever. So... how am I gonna get it back? The makeup bag with all of my favourite items is left, I'm sure, in a dark dark corner on a high mountain top, unable to come back to me. I can't plan another trip up again?! What's more, they are only gonna keep it there for three months and they'll chuck it. :(
I love my makeup and especially the pouch! I had great memories with it. The bag is sort of a sachet with a drawstring and in a nice cream colour. I got it from Topshop in UK for free! It came with three items in it: bobby pins, makeup removing wipes, liquid eyeliner. They had a promotion whereby if you get three or more items, they'll give the bag to you for free! How lovely.
It had followed me through my trip across Europe and I'm pretty much busted to find it gone, together with my many favourite items.

So, so, sad.

Some encouragement though, new makeup
