♫ 林宥嘉 - 浪费
It's no surprise that I'm quite the Essence fan, ever since I discovered their products online and locally, not to mention their huge range of products and pocket-friendly pricing. After lamenting the lack of new collections in our local stores, I was glad to finally see them release the [not so new] Beauty Beats/Justin Bieber trend collection, which is from last year. (Note: I am not a Justin Bieber fan.)

The 'thin' end |
The 'thick' end |
Unfortunately, this eyeliner is NOT waterproof at all. A gentle swipe with water effectively smudged away half the line, while a slightly firmer rub more than removed it completely. How Justin Bieber fans are supposed to scream and cry at their idol while wearing this eyeliner without it making a mess on their face is beyond me. ಠ_ಠ
Waterproof? Nuh-uh. |
If you're looking to experiment with eyeliner, or have really really dry eyes/don't sweat at all, this could be okay, I guess. Both ends work well to give you different looks, from thin faint lines to thicker bold lines.
I am seriously kicking myself now for buying this eyeliner instead of the blusher. (-__-;) The blusher, which retails at RM 14.90, is 2 bucks cheaper and has more product, not to mention more value for money than this gimmicky, non-waterproof eyeliner. (¬_¬) Oh well, as far as lessons go, at least this is considered cheap at RM 16.90, ha!

Thanks for the review! I guess anything to do with Justin Bieber is a failure!
Arpita: Haha! This eyeliner sure was a failure, but I'm still keeping some hope for the blusher. There weren't any testers for the blusher at the store. :( However, essence products in general are still pretty okay, especially their nail polish. :D
You look great with cat wing eyeliner! You should do it more often. :)

Although the Essence eyeliner I bought was labelled as waterproof, it just didn't work at all. I got panda eye in the end >.< However, their other products are surprisingly good.
Ooh! I nearly bought this eyeliner at Watsons Sunway Pyramid but ended up not purchasing anything as I didn't find anything that struck my fancy. Love your honest review! <3
You look really beautiful dear! :)
Very nice review~ <3

+1 for the Thin and thick sides! but Uhh... it's a no-no for non waterproof eyeliner for me.. even waterproof and smudge proof ones will smudge a little on my eye.. >_<
+1 for thin and thick sides but it's definitely a no for non waterproof. Girls nowadays just can't live without waterproof any more.. lol
Why on earth is the colour so different? Do you think you got a faulty piece?
And my goodness, it'd smudge within seconds on my watery, oily lids =.=
That smudges real bad..I can imagine panda eyes after a few hours..lol
Oh no, I can never use liner that isn't waterproof. In fact, with my oily lids, I should be wearing really be waterproofing everything.
Products are hit and miss with Essence but they do have some good things that are priced at a song.
You're right, I do stick to their nail products. I've found a dupe for a Sally Hansen item that was better than the SH version!
