Rachel Knows... e.l.f. Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil Swatches!

This is another e.l.f. product that I'm iffy about. They only cost $1, so I try to keep that in mind, but regardless of the price I'm just not sure they are up to par. They are really beautiful colors, they're really creamy and apply smoothly, but it just takes soooooooooo much product to make it visible at all. They also smudge very easily. I swatched these on my arm and let them sit for at least 5 minutes while I finished taking pictures. I went into the bathroom and I usually take a tissue first to try and wipe products off before I waste water, soap and on the really great products waterproof makeup remover. These guys all wiped off with pretty much one swipe. They're shimmery/glittery, but they aren't unique enough to warrant a purchase. At least in my book. I won't be buying any more of these when these run out. I probably will never run out, because I don't use them at all. They are nice to look at in swatch pictures, because they are pretty, but that's about all their good for. Another downside is that they don't have the name of the color anywhere on them. I don't know if I just got a weird batch that didn't have the names printed on them anywhere, but I had no idea what the names of the eyeliners were without looking up my old order and then looking at that name on the www.eyeslipsface.com website and seeing which color looked the most like what I had. Skip these ladies. There are so many better products you can spend your $1 on.
