Untrieds: Pixi limitless Silky Eye Pen

by wallly Make-up

Today, I’m examining a just recently obtained product – you may recall that I gotten this during Targetgate™, together with a few Sonia Kashuk goodies.  The Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen retails for $12.00 (1.2g) as well as is a Target special brand right here in Canada.  Once Target stores closes here, I’m not sure if Pixi will be offered in a bricks as well as mortar store right here anymore.

This liner comes in a elegant box.  I don’t believe I’ve seen one more drugstore brand that offers pencil eyeliners in boxes.

The pencils are all housed in a light eco-friendly casing, with the colour indicated at the top, which make the Pixi pencil stick out against my sea of dark pencils (I have a great deal of eye pencils).  The product claims:

Waterproof, super-long-wear, no-smudge, no-budge eye liners. They glide on like seamless silk, as well as in a single sweep movement produce a flawless, solid jewel-toned line. No retouching needed all the time – or night! gentle on eyes, yet intensely coloured as well as super-silky. Vandtæt. Parabenfri. Mineral oil-free. Preservative-free. Hypoallergenic.

The shade I gotten it in is CopperGlow which is explained on Pixi’s web site as “Deep copper with gold glimmer”.  Now I desire I had checked out that before I gotten it, because the word “glimmer” would have alerted me to the prospective of glitter.  To the naked eye, the pencil just appeared like a metallic shade.  Upon application, however, the shine becomes visible – there are actual shine bits that deposit from the pencil to the skin.  The base colour is great – an intense warm bronzey colour that doesn’t look as well orange on me (orangey shades make me look sickly).

L to R: single line, colour block, smudged (hard to show the glitters in photograph, however the white specks are the glitters)
The main issue I have with this pencil is that it is as well soft for exact application – as soon as the pencil touches the skin, it type of melts as well as smears around – I always end up with thick splotches of liner rather than a fine consistent line.  There’s a bit of “open” time to smudge it before it sets. The enduring power however, is extremely great – I get at least 12 hours of wear without fading or smudging.  I played around with applying this utilizing an fine angled clean – I transfer the pencil onto the clean by brushing it against the tip, as well as the apply it from the clean to my lash line.  It just seems a bit fiddly to have utilize a clean when this product is already in pencil form.

The finest utilize I discovered for this eye liner was really as an eye shadow base; I used this in a thin layer on my lids as well as mixed the edges out slightly.  Once it set, I put a powder eye shadow on top (I checked it with MAC Patina) as well as it done extremely well.  There was no creasing as well as it assisted intensify the powder eye shadow.  I’m going use this as an eye shadow base going forward.

Fordele:
•  Very longwearing
• Vandtæt
•  Does not tug at skin – applies smoothly
•  Intense colour pay-off

Ulemper:
•  Higher cost for drugstore brand
•  Has shine bits (this specific shade)
•  Very soft structure makes it tough to get a exact line

Stash worthiness: 7/10
