MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Industry Review + Swatch!


This is a review for MAC's powerpoint eye pencil in Industry! 

This is the newest edition to my makeup collection. I've been looking for a gray eyeliner pencil because I thought black looked too harsh on me and I wanted more definition than a brown eyeliner. (Yeah, I'm pretty picky...) haha
Anyway, I went to the MAC counter and I was swatching different gray eyeliner that they had. And I came across this one and I absolutely fell in love with the color! 

MAC has a couple of different eyeliner and formulas, I have a couple of Eye Kohls, but this is my first power point eye pencil. 
I find that the power point eye pencils to be more creamy and blendable, which I like because I like smudging the eyeliner on my upper lash line and this does a good job with that. By smudging eyeliner on the upper lash line, it gives an effortless look with a slight definition which I like.:) And once it sets, it doesn't budge!

The eyeliner is 95% matte but it has the tiniest shimmer but its basically unnoticeable. It's very creamy as I said and that's one of the key things that I look for in an eyeliner. The color is really pretty it's a solid gray rather than a silver gray or a blue gray. 

They are also good for the waterline because they stay there until I take it off. This specific eyeliner is VERY waterproof so it is nice for the upperlash line as well as the waterline. 

So, I really like this eyeliner and it's one of my favorite product now!
And, now onto the pictures and swatches!

Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner Review + Swatch

Hello again, this is yet again another product review :) 
I've posted a lot today but I'm on a roll! Anyway today it features a drugstore product (in the States). It is not available in Japan but I got this product while I was in California. I purchased this at Target but I'm sure it's available at other drugstores. 

The Maybelline Line Stiletto is a liquid liner which helps you create a nice line on the upper lash line. 



This product is very pigmented and it helps me create a nice crisp line on the upper lash line. As I mentioned a couple of times in my last posts (my current favorites series), I love winged out liner. It's sort of my statement look because it's so easy to create (for me, with a LOT of practice) and it looks really good. I feel like liquid liner is the best to create that kind of look because it looks good and it's really quick to do. 

As for the brush, it's a felt tip brush applicator. It's long and skinny but it doesn't taper out to a really fine tip like some Japanese liquid liners do which I thought was interesting. Although I don't find that to be a problem with me because I can still create a thin line with it.

The consistency is nice because it's not too liquidy. It also dries fast and it dries to a slightly shiny finish. Now, I'm not a big fan of that so I like to set that liquid liner with a matte black eyeshadow. I find that it lasts longer as well as giving it a more matte look which I like better.

All in all I really like this liquid liner. If you're looking for a good inexpensive liquid liner, this is the way to go.
