TruBeautyGems: Pencil Me in Cosmetics Eyeliner

How would you like to replace your favorite $15-20 high end eyeliner with one that works at least as well, for less than half the price?

Enter Pencil Me in Cosmetics. We were recently given the opportunity to give these a try and see how we liked them. Verdict? LOVE! I ordered a Greystone, Indigo and Onyx and gave them a whirl. Perhaps the most unique aspect of these pencils is in the packaging.

Check out this picture of some of their great shades and below the pencils you can tell there are these funny looking caps.  They come with built in eyeliner sharpeners!  How many times have we all been away from home and found ourselves with a dull eyeliner and no sharpener?  Well, with these you will never have that problem again because they come with a built in sharpener in every cap.  Awesome! 


L-R:  Onyx, Indigo, Greystone


A little more background on these pencil eyeliners- there are 30 shades of heavily pigmented, silky smooth and long lasting eyeliners that are infused with anti-oxidants and vitamins to protect your skin from daily exposure and deconstructive elements. The application is silky and smooth, and the pencils are creamy but still firm. It is easy to make a clean line, or smudge it out. The colors are also great for layering different eyeliner colors together. The best part to me was how easily the colors glided over my eye area without tugging and pulling on the skin in my eye area. I also really loved the built in pencil sharpener that allows you to get a sharp tip each time, as well as be hygienic- this feature makes them a perfect addition to any makeup artist's collection.

To show you how truly creamy and amazing the application is on this pencil, I thought I'd put it side by side with my favorite Lancome Kohl Pencil in Black Ebony. This pencil is my favorite and such a deep dark black shade. I literally couldn't tell a difference in the application since they're both so creamy and pigmented. Can you tell?

I also wanted to show you how beautifully it glided onto the eye- here I am wearing it in a normal straight line on the top of my lid, and underneath my lash line I chose to smudge it. Perfectly easy to wear it both ways!
