Saving lives with one beauty product at a time...: December 2012

I received the NYC Color Show Time Glitter Eyeliner if my first Influenster College Vox box. I'm usually a Wet N Wild girl for eyeliner, but I was pleasantly surprised with the formula.

The formula is extremely pigmented and doesn't have too much glitter. The liner is soft and easy to apply. I had read previous reviews and many people said they had melt it or light it with a lighter (yay for the 80s LOL), but I have not had that issue. It's very build-able and it lasts a good part of the day. I work 8 hour shifts, so by the time I get home, I've been wearing it for over 12 hours, but it holds up pretty good. I'm never one to reapply eyeliner through out the day, so by the time I get home, it's a bit faded, but only noticeable if you are looking closely.

Here is a swatch on my hand. This applied in one stroke. You can see how black it is and the color pay-off is AMAZING.

Here is my overall "work" make-up with the eyeliner. I will list the rest of the *products I used below.

Like I had mentioned previous, I usually buy the Wet N Wild Color Icon Shimmer pencil. That compared to ths product, NYC wins. The pencil is easier to sharpen. The Wet N Wild is sometimes too soft, so it breaks up and I have to keep sharpening. After sharpening so much, it wastes the product and I'm left with less than half of the pencil left. :(

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. It's only $2.49 at most drugstores which is a good price for a good black eyeliner. I will definitely be repurchasing the NYC Color Time pencil and in different colors. :-)
