I think it's high time that I review the Colorbar I Define pencil in Mid Night Black because soon, there would be nothing left behind to shoot and you know, I haven't really mastered the art of shooting non existent products. LOL.
Anyway, I had let this product sit on my shelf for at least about a year! Yes, I was using the Colorbar I Glide pencil. I would say I am lucky because this one did not dry out.
My experience: This one is not as smooth as I Glide, they really do glide on. But this does not really tug on your delicate skin as well. Mind, I am passing my judgement on a product that had initially sat quietly for about a year!
I have been using this one on everyday basis ( the stub says it all) and i use it on my waterline as well. On extreme summer days, if I wear it on my upper lids, it does smudge, but I have hooded eyes as you might have known.
On my lower lashline or water line it stays put all day. Since my lids are oily, it does smudge in about 12 or 13 hours. Then, almost everything smudges on me after about 12 hours or so. You can't really help it.
Sometimes, I put a wash of color on my lids and line them with this Colorbar I Define Pencil and it saves my time and saves my day!
Pros
These used to be sold for about 250.
Easily available. You should get this at every Colorbar counter.
Doesn't smudge easily.
Good color pay off.
Easy to sharpen. ( I use my Lakme Dual Sharpener. Nothing fancy)
Cons:
Not as intense as I Glide.
It's exuberantly priced now ( 350 INR!!!)
Overall I like this pencil, but in all probability might not repurchase. Come on! I am a beauty blogger and I should have an excuse to try more products in the market!

hehe.. I agree beauty bloggers have all the right the try the new products.:)
ReplyDelete:D We are always lookin for an excuse! Aren't we?
DeleteLooks good, nice review
ReplyDeleteThank you Sony :)
DeleteThose two cons means a lot - Not enough pigmented for a liner and a bit pricey :(
ReplyDeleteI honestly loved it on first glance ;)
Nice review Dear :*
It is oigmented than most of the eyepencils, but not enough to make me happy. And yes, the price is killing!
DeleteBit pricey than the other budget options available these days but I cannot complain since I love the Amway one and the price is similar :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right. These days, the options are numerous and the product quality is also satisfactory. I hear the Amway one is better than most of the eye pencils available in the market?
DeletePricey but not worth :( that's bad dear
ReplyDeleteYes, there are plenty of options available these days.
Deleteheheh love the captions :P Nice review gal :) But seems costly if compared to qualities!!
ReplyDeleteI really do not know what to say because I have vociferously used it in the last one year. I mean, I have constantly reached out without the thought that I have something even better than this.
DeleteHavent tried I glide pencils yet! Will surely try it next!
ReplyDeleteI would say try the Faces Longstay liners instead. They are way better than I Glide.
Deletemy sister also loves this :)
ReplyDelete:D So, I am not the only one reaching out.
DeleteDoesnt it get wasted alot while sharpening?
ReplyDeleteThanks for following the blog...I am following you now on blog and page aswell!!
Thank you so much Jasmine. It means a lot.
DeleteI know some of it gets wasted, but the amount is not too much. Plus, you know, the actually quantity you use is more than what you get in a retractable pencil. Plus every time you sharpen, it gets sanitized as in everything old gets shaved off. So, I prefer these pencils over the retractable ones.
So true, no beauty blogger feels like purchasing the same product again, I'm always looking out for new products, lovely review Nivedita, the pics are lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I know you would relate to this feeling. Plus imagine, I have been using it for the last 1 year! Yes, almost regularly!
DeleteThank you so much for appreciating. It really feels good when somebody , especially, a fellow blogger appreciates because you would know how much of hard work goes into every post.
hehehhe...yes we need to try new stuffs! Nicely reviewed dear! & the pencil looks amazing! Such cute clean pics u clicked!
