Hi, lovelies!
So as I was perusing the makeup aisle at my local CVS Pharmacy, I came across these new eyeliners. I've never heard of them before, which isn't surprising, but I thought I would go ahead and try them out.
Sadly at these CVS they only had 4 out of the 6 colors that are available, and they didn't even have the black one which is what I usually buy when I'm shopping for eyeliners. Anyways, I decided to try out the colors that they have and picked up: golden, aquamarine, cocoa, and silver ink.
I figured that with halloween coming up, I could use these for some interesting looks.
ink it! is suppose to be an extension of Covergirl's perfect point plus eyeliners. I actually do like the originals and think that they apply rather smoothly.
Covergirl's Claims:
Vibrant, high impact color glides on smoothly with pen-like precision for intense eye looks that lasts all day.
- Self-sharpening pencil
- Crease and fade resistant
- Waterproof
Packaging: ☆☆☆☆☆Its very sleek and minimal click-pen. I like the idea that you don't have to look for a sharpener when it gets dull, but I would have rather a small sharpener included to achieve that very fine point. With every twist the pen gives out an audible click; the down side to their design is that if you had put out too much product you don't have an option of retracting it. The cap closes with a snap and you'd have to tug rather hard to get it off. Some people may not like this, but this security gives a little bit of assurance that it won't just come off in your purse.
Price:☆☆☆☆☆
Retailing at $7.79 USD at my CVS, its a bit much considering that you're only getting 179 mg (0.006 oz) of product.
Consistency:☆☆☆☆☆Quality control isn't quite there. 3 out of the 4 had a very smooth consistency and glided on creamily. The golden ink on the other hand tugged on the skin and was very dried. I love the colors and was looking forward to this specific one, so its a bit disappointing that the it just didn't have that same consistency. I'm going to try to purchase another gold one when I come across the other 2 colors that I don't have, and hopefully its just a quality control issue rather than an actual product issue.
Color:☆☆☆☆☆
I love how vibrant the aquamarine is! Cocoa is your standard dark brown while the silver and golden are very metallic in nature. All of which have a slight hint of micro glitter to give it just a bit of glimmer, but not so much that it looks like a fairy just sneezed on you.
Smudge-proof:☆☆☆☆☆
These are definitely smudge proof. I've been sitting here trying to rub off the color on my hand and its just not budging! The only thing that really comes off are those fine glitters, but you'd have to definitely rub hard for even those to come off, that is of course after you leave the product to set.
Waterproof:☆☆☆☆☆
I wouldn't say that they are completely waterproof. The color stays on as long as you don't touch it when its wet, otherwise you could rub it off rather easily.
Overall: ☆☆☆☆☆
I love this product what with the color selection! I really just hope that the golden ink is actually as smooth as the others, but I guess I won't find out unless I buy a new one. If you're looking for a new eyeliner, I definitely would recommend this to you guys, but I would keep in mind that some of the products aren't as smooth as the others.
Have you guys tried this product? What do you think of it? Please leave a comment, share, and subscribe!
