Hello dearies! Sharing with you a quick review of my current fave eyeliner-
Dolly Wink Pencil Eyeliner in Black. I got this as a token from
Row101 Summer Pop Up Bazaar launch last April.
Dolly Wink is a famous make-up brand in Japan. According to Pinky Paradise website:
This range contains everything you could ever need to make your new circle lenses really shine! Perfect to achieve that Gyaru style, we have everything from eyebrow mascara to liquid eyeliner, false eyelashes to eyelash fix to give that perfect bold effect to emphasize your stunning new look eyes. Endorsed by the beautiful Japanese model Tsubasa Masuwaka who is synonymous with the Gyaru trend.
This brand is not new to me because I've seen their false eyelashes in my Hong Kong trip years ago. I'm only familiar with their falsies and never knew that they have eyeliners in different colors and textures too. I'm happy that I took this pencil eyeliner home, actually it's my first pencil eyeliner review to date (the one that needs to be sharpened). So without further ado, my honest to goodness review of Dolly Wink Pencil Eyeliner in Black :)

This is a limited edition product from Dolly Wink. It comes with a liquid eyeliner plus the pencil eyeliner that I'm currently using. I'm not into liquid eyeliner pens as of the moment so I'll just reserve my review for that in the future but for now, let's take a look at the pencil eyeliner. I've included the liquid eyeliner pen in some of the photos below for comparison but the review will be more focused on the pencil eyeliner.

Swatch both products for comparison |
In the swatch above, the pencil eyeliner is matte while the liquid pen is glossy. If you're into liquid eyeliner and likes to draw thin sharp lines, I think the latter one is for you. I have shaky hands and using liquid eyeliner is challenging.

Line my upper lash line with the pencil eyeliner, pardon the not so good line here |
What I like:
- The packaging is super cute. I like the color and design of this eyeliner pencil.
- The price is very affordable considering the quality of the product.
- No need to warm up this eyeliner because the texture is velvety soft and creamy that's why it's easy to apply.
- Easy to use. I have no issues in drawing thin or thick lines.
- The color pay-off is good.
- It has a matte finish.
- Last up to 12 hours or longer.
- No smudging on my not so oily eyelids even in hot and humid weather.
- Doesn't wear off easily and no bleeding.
- I can control the intensity of the lines that I'm doing on my eyelids.
- Even though it's waterproof, it is easy to remove using my eye makeup remover.
- It's easy to sharpen, the lead doesn't break while sharpening.
- Sealed upon purchase.
- It's a steal if you buy this limited edition because for only 699, you'll get two eyeliners.
- Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the label.
- Easily accessible.
What I don't like:
Will I repurchase? A big fat YES!!!
Recommendation:
I give this a 5/5 rating. First impressions last! So for my first pencil eyeliner (kohl) review, it's a keeper in my makeup stash. I use it almost every day. I think I've found my HG pencil eyeliner in
Dolly Wink so no need to search for a new brand to try for now. You can also buy this separately, it's available in select Watsons and SM Beauty sections plus I've seen a stall of Dolly Wink in Landmark Trinoma and Makati.
I highly recommend this brand if you're into pencil eyeliners. Have you tried Dolly Wink Eyeliners?
Good Times!~
