When I was travelling in Europe last December 2011, I went around to several Sephora stores and picked them up in the counter, they are really good at placing their products because, when you are waiting in line you can't help but to pick something up. Knowing that I would not have access to any Sephora stores for the next few moths, my sister asked me to grab and buy anything that I might like, therefore I bought the Sephora Crayon Jumbo 12H Liner(waterproof) in number 05 Beige and 08 Gold. I chose neutral colours that I would wear all the time because I don't want to invest on something that has so much product in it and ended up not using it and well it's also my personal preference. I thought that the packaging was simple and sleek, its good that the colour of the end of the packaging actually shows the true colour of the product, so it's easier when you are choosing the colours you want to buy, because at the counter- top, there are no testers and you might end up buying a colour that doesn't work for you :P

I was really satisfied because they live up to their names, being waterproof. They are also highly pigmented and provides a good base for my eye shadows. I love using the beige one as a highlight colour, on my nose and cheekbones, not my forehead though, it would just look odd. These are shimmery and glides really well on my lids, they are really easy to apply, and I just love the colour selection! When I was opening the plastic wrap, the tip of my beige jumbo liner broke off, I was sad about that but I reshaped it with clean fingers :) I learnt my lesson and didn't break the tip of of my gold one. I thought about comparing this to the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils and I think that these Sephora ones stand on the waxier feel and have less fallouts. The NYX one normally has a bit of residue when appying because they are a tad bit more powdery.

This is the swatch of both pencils, like I said, they are pigmented with colour, a punch of shimmer and are really gorgeous! :) They are also very easy to blend out and the colours are long lasting. I have never worn make up for 12 hours so far so I don't know whether it will stay up to twelve house, but they do not budge, even without any sort of primer. I think that setting the colour with some translucent powder would help it not crease if you want to use it as an all over eye shadow colour, but this is a liner and I don't expect it not to crease, so I'm fine with that. :)

I like using them as a base and line under my eyes for a more awakened and highlighted look. Overall, I really like these crayons and would repurchase if I had access to more !

Bye, and see you in the next post !
