Marc Jacobs Highliner


Eyeliner is the product I use since I was in highschool. That time I use only face powder, eyeliner and lip balm. And I never limit myself to only wearing black color. I love colorful eyeliner too.


I always search for good eyeliner that last whole day because I sweat easily, therefore I prefer using liquid liner to pencil liner. That's before I become make up junkie. Now when my eyes opened to lots of brand, there are lots of options out there.


The Marc Jacobs Skyliner is a limited edition set of 7 deluxe size Highliners. This set is not available anymore on the store, but I feel like sharing the swatch and my love for them. Who knows you are searching for new eyeliner options, you can go to the counter and swatch and see if you like.


I also have two full size Highliner below. The quality of the eyeliner is really good. It is so soft and buttery but after set on my skin it last whole day. Sadly I don't really like the packaging, looks sleek, pretty and space saving but I don't feel it is functional. I don't know, can't describe but I'm just not a fan of the packaging.



So that's my short opinion about these Highliners by Marc Jacobs. Thank you for reading.

NYX Eyebrow Pencil Dark Brown (Retractable)



I'm never good at brow-ing, but I'm learning. I start buying few brow products to find the best one according to my liking. This NYX Eyebrow Pencil is one of them.

The pencil is retractable and in EP05 Dark Brown. It is 0.25g in weight and has two sides, one side is the pencil and the other side is the brush. It is not brand new when I took picture so it should be longer than that.




The price is affordable which is a plus for this product but it is a bit too pigmented for me. In terms of bold brow, this is a good thing. But it is difficult when it comes to create natural brow looks (maybe it is just because of my lack brow-ing skill). This color turns to be reddish brown on my skin.


The longetivity is not bad for eyebrow pencil. It can last up to 5 hours in normal combination skin before it start smudging or fading. When the weather is too hot or I work outdoor, it last only 3 hours so I prefer using it when I work in office.


This product can be cheaper alternative but it is unfortunately not my HG.


Thank you for reading.

Benefit High Brow Glow in Champagne Pink


This one is going home with me on first swatch on Benefit counter. I'm looking for highlighter pencil for my brow bone and I'm happy I found this.




This pencil contains 2.8g of product in champagne pink shade. It has black cap to protect the products. The wood is soft enough and easily sharpened.


Pigmentation is quite good, not too bold but visible. The color will suit most people from any skintone well. The texture is smooth and easy to blend. It last 5 hours on me. I apply directly to brow bone and blend using fingertips for more natural looks.
