Product Review: BYS Automatic Eye Pencil in 04 Super Soft Black

     This product is an impulse buy but I have no regrets buying it because it was actually a good buy! I'm not a fan of black liners. I find the color too off because I look mataray (snobbish) from the black eyeliners that I've tried before. I'm not sure if that's only my perception when I apply black eyeliner on my eyelids but I always doubt when it's black. I always say to myself  that it's not for me. If there are two things that I regard as my weapon to look simply pretty, that probably the lipstick and eyeliner. I don't know why I got hooked with eyeliners lately. Maybe it's because I noticed my eyelids look different from each other and to mask that I need to apply eyeliners may it be brown-my fave or black. Okay, a NEW fave :)

     So in search of my HG black eyeliner, I secretly spying on three brands whenever I go window shopping at malls around my area. Every time I swatch a gel or pencil eyeliner, I always have doubts inside my head. Aside from the brand, I always check the price. As I've said on the the very first paragraph of this post, it's an impulse buy. It happened months ago when I dropped by at Watsons Sm Fairview just to replenish my stock of Purederm Makeup Remover Wipes. The SA approached me and said she wanted to try their eyeliner on my eyelids since I'm not wearing my fave Choco eyeliner from Virginia Olsen that day. I was convinced because I saw a lady who just bought this and purchased three different colors. Well, I should thank her if ever we'll cross our paths again because my impulse buy is really worth it!

Product Review: San San Waterproof Eyeliner Pen with Vitamins A, C & E

     Hi lovelies! I'm sooo lazy these past few days. It's really hot everywhere. I can't concentrate on doing simple household chores and easily get pissed off with my son's naughtiness. I need to stay calm and some window shopping can stop my temperament from rising. 

     So today I wanna share some insights on my new eyeliner pen. If you're a follower of my blog, prolly you know that I made a rant on E.L.F. Eyeliner Pen. After that experienced, I veered away from all the pen eyeliner that I saw at Watsons and Sm Department store beauty section. I said to myself that I'll just stick to my San San gel liner and will try out other brands after I finished it. Luckily, my youngest sister gave me this eyeliner pen from San San that she bought on sale. I have positive review on their gel liner and I know this product will not fail me.

• Not rub proof and smudge proof

Will I repurchase? Yes! I already considered this as my to-go eyeliner pen

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4/5 rating. After losing hope on my first eyeliner pen experience, I think I'm going back to try other brands. For ladies with oily eyelids, you can put eye primer first to avoid smudging. Since the weather is really hot, it is better to place the eyeliner in a cooler place to avoid drying out. Always replace cap after use and store it upside down. 

     That's all for now! What's your favorite eyeliner pen? Thanks for sharing.

Good Times!~
