Wahey, it's an impulse purchase on the blog today. Please rise for the stupendously gorgeous, Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl liner in 010 Silver. (Featured in my Drug Store Haul post.)
I didn't really know what I was doing when I started picking up the Scandaleyes pencils and began scribbling them all over my hands and arms. I only came for the Wake Me Up concealer and somehow I ended up tumbling down a glitter-coated rabbit hole. I mean, no one ever really needs a silver eye liner do they? But I swatched it, and it was pretty and so home with me it came.
First things first, this stuff is ridiculously good. We're talking a one swipe wonder here. It's thick, creamy and blendable which all make my heart sing when it comes to a kohl eye pencil. I've been playing around with this, trying to incorporate it into various make up looks, (smokey eye highlight, I'm looking at you) and I almost struggle to believe that this is a bargain buy product. Once it's on, it isn't going anywhere either. So much so, that this liner borders on difficult to remove without a decent make up remover. I'm definitely willing to put up with this though for budge-proof brilliance.
So really, silver?
Okay, admittedly I didn't opt for the most wearable shade of the bunch. I did spend several minutes toying with the Brown pencil before popping it back because it wasn't too dissimilar from the MAC Teddy kohl I'd picked up a few weeks earlier. I'm a billion percent going to pick up the Black shade next time I'm home, and possibly Taupe and Nude too. You can see how things escalate every time I'm within eye-contact of Boots.
Have you tried the Rimmel Scandaleyes pencils? If so, what are your thoughts or are there any other kohl liners that you would recommend?
