Hey pretties!
My blog just reached 200K ++ pageviews 2 days ago and suree I'm really happy! I'll always improve my blog so everyone who reading my blog will enjoy more. ^^ So lately I become obsessed with 3CE product, I really want to try all 3CE products especially their lipstick collection n the face products that mostly makes your face look radiant and glowing. But this time, just let me show you one of their products, 3CE Creamy Waterproof Eyeliner #Zorro.
This product has 8 pearlescent colors and 1 non-pearlescent, I chose no #2 Zorro, the pearlescent black. The name quite unique right? :P
If you've tried some 3CE products, you must be familiar with the black packaging, and yeah...this eyeliner also come in black long box packaging. The product informations is included too in the box but mostly in Korean. :P
The eyeliner inside has the same length with the box and I think the size is quite long.

It looks like an eyebrow pencil with a long black cap.
This also include a built-in sharpener that easily sharpen the eyeliner tip every time it becomes flat or round. Just release the sharpener and put the eyeliner tip on it, then carefully sharpen it.

If compared to liquid eyeliner, I must admit that I prefer it than this pencil-type eyeliner because the eyeliner tip is bigger and quite dull so a little bit hard to create a precise line. One thing that make me curious is the color, this is not a matte black color but a glitter black color! This is very recommended if you're bored with your plain black eyeliner and need some glitters instantly. lol.
The eyeliner has a texture like the crayon pencil, it's creamy and very pigmented. When you first apply it, the color still doesn't come out, it becomes bold and vivid after the second swatch.

SMUDGEPROOF TEST
After let it dry about 1-2 minutes, then I tried to rub it hardly. I think this product works as it claims coz the color only fade a little just after I hardly rubbed it for a few times.

WATERPROOF TEST
Yes, it's water resistant! Don't compare this picture below to swatch picture's above coz I made a new swatch again and put it under running water about 2-3 minutes. The color still didn't change as if I swatch it before. Then I tried to rub it and yeah, this is exactly what happened... the eyeliner has no defense to water and rubbing 'attack' at once. But it's no a problem, just remember not to rub it if you under the rain. lol.

I was wrong when I thought this would glide on my eyes easily because in fact I need to draw 6-7 times to achieve this eye liner look. This absolutely not as easy as I applied it on my hand, I found this eyeliner is quite hard to apply on my eyes and the color is very subtle.




PROS
- Waterproof & also smudgeproof! ^^
- Shimmer black color
- Creamy texture & very pigmented

CONS

REPURCHASE?
Nope.

I just realized that liquid eyeliner still better for me since it always gives the result I want. I should forget all pencil-type eyeliners because they just wasn't made for me. Maybe I always prefer natural makeup but liquid eyeliner is still my favourite coz it's a lot easier to use, I could draw more precisely with intense color result. But I do recommend this eyeliner if you love natural makeup and you prefer the smooth n soft eye liner result. For me, I'll use it occasionally coz it's such a waste if I didn't use it at all right? ;)



THANK YOU FOR READING MY BLOG. ENJOY! ^^
Hello Dolls!
I guess this is the first time I've done a post about eyeliner. Really? Yeah, I think so. Just because I rarely bought eyeliner, it doesn't mean I never using eyeliner. I just never repurchased eyeliner until it's ran out, that's why I only have 1-2 eyeliners on my makeup pouch. Lol. 

Actually when using eyeliner, I find it a little bit troublesome sometimes. That's why I feel so lazy to use my eyeliner except when I go to the mall, church, etc. I really envy people who can create the perfect winged eyeliner, maybe I just need more practise to master it. Lol. In fact, I prefer liquid eyeliner compared to gel eyeliner coz it usually has more vivid black color, pointed brush, and better smudge-proof level. But, when KKCENTERHK offered me some makeup products to try, I was quite fascinated with Landbis Light Pink Smolder Pencil Eyeliner in Thicken Black and thought I should give it a try. :D Therefore, let's take a close look at this eyeliner... ^^

PACKAGING
This pencil eyeliner comes with a hot pink plastic wrap and I think that you commonly found this wrap when you bought a ball-point pen coz their wraps has the same model right? :P So yeah, the eyeliner itself also comes in plastic and glossy pen-like packaging with a mix of magenta and black colors. I think the packaging is quite simple with a black cap but also very portable and make it easier to carry arround. ;)


Please forgive me for my fault, actually the eyeliner tip isn't blunt like below. The actual eyeliner tip is pointed but I forgot to completely twist down the stick so as you've already expected, the end result is like this. >.< But lucky me the eyeliner is still reusable. ;)


TEXTURE & SWATCH
I saw this eyeliner formula looks like a crayon but it's much thinner and more convenient to use. I drew a heart-shape to show you the texture and the thickness of this eyeliner. ;) The texture is soft and creamy as stated  on its description above with bold color that also can be built up to desired result.

So actually I never experienced smudging or smearing when using my favourite liquid eyeliner, but since this is a pencil eyeliner therefore here's I show you a little experiment to let you know the smudge-proof strength. I guess you already knew what will happen next if I rub it. Yeah, the color instantly fade and left.. Stain! -__- After 3-4 wipes, the color almost gone. Of course, it's definitely didn't pass my smudge-proof test. And I hope I don't forget to remind myself that I currently use a pencil eyeliner in the future so it will not 'transform' my eyes into panda eyes. Lol.
And let's move on to the next test, Waterproof Test! I put my hand under running water maybe about 1-2 minutes, and the color just fade slightly so I think this eyeliner passed my waterproof test. Hehe... But if you rub it, then it will completely gone. :P
And here's an EOTD that I created a while ago using this LANDBIS pencil eyeliner. I applied the eyeliner on my upper and lower lash line. I found it's harder to apply the eyeliner with eye makeup on because it tends to crease and I need to apply it for 3-4 times.


WHAT I LIKE
- Cute & simple packaging, also very portable
- Soft & creamy texture
- Rich black color
- Waterproof
- The color level can be built up to desired result
- Very easy to use
- Good staying power (Note. if you dont rub it :P)
- Suitable for daily use and natural makeup


WHAT I HATE
- Failed on smudge-proof test
- It's hard to apply with eye makeup on and it tends to crease


And.. it's time for SELCA..! ^_^ Please excuse my 'narcissism' and so many photos.. I just can't can't select the best pictures.. Omo... :D sorry if it's kinda blurry too... :(

OVERALL THOUGHT

Well, actually I really love this eyeliner if it could survive on smudge-proof test. But I don't blame this eyeliner because the texture itself doesn't seem to stay firmly if rubbed. I would recommend this eyeliner for daily makeup coz it's really easy & fast to use even for makeup beginners. Or maybe if you're the type of person who loved natural makeup, then this eyeliner will suit you best. I also would love to to use this eyeliner when I want to create a soft-smokey eyes. ;)
