Urban Decay Ocho Loco 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set (Review and Swatches)

Urban Decay Ocho Loco 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil Set

When Urban Decay released this limited edition Ocho Loco 24/7 eye pencil set last year, I was all crazy about it. ha ha seriously! But I told myself, no you already have enough eye pencils. So when Sephora sent out free $15 reward card with $50 purchase, I thought I'd use it on this eye pencil set since this was something I really really want, and I know I'll get tons of use out of this set! I'm really glad that I got it. It's such a great value: 8 full-sized eye pencils plus one sharpener, $162 worth of product for only $59 (used $15 reward card, I actually paid $44). Aside from the amazing price tag, the overall pigmentation and formula are really great.

Swatches on bare skin, no primer used.
Left to right: Stash, Junkie, LSD, Perversion, Psychedelic Sister, Rockstar, Hustle, Mushroom


swatches on bare skin (no primer)
Left to right: Stash, Junkie, LSD, Perversion


 Stash: olive-green with gold shimmer. So beautiful and very wearable, and very pigmented in just one stroke. 

Junkie: blueish teal with gold and teal sparkles. Color payoff was quite good, but not as good as Stash.

LSD: dark, blackened navy blue with blue sparkles. The color payoff is the worst out of these 8 pencils. I did need to layer it for desired opacity. 

Perversion: is a really, really, really deep and rich black. I don't think I have any pencils that's blacker than this one. It has a matte finish which I love. The pigmentation is greaaaatttt! Sooo black, Love it!

Swatches on bare skin (no primer)
Left to right: Psychedelic Sister, Rockstar, Hustle, Mushroom

Psychedelic Sister: It's a medium to deep purple with luminous sheen, no glitter. I have this shade in eye shadow form, so beautiful. The color payoff is great, too!

Rockstar: is a dark eggplant purple with luminous sheen, no glitter. The purple is so dark that looks almost like brown, and the pigmentation is great! 

Hustle: is a medium-dark warm metallic brown with bronze shimmer. 

Mushroom: is a grayish brown taupe with sheen. So so so beautiful. one of my favorite!

Urban Decay Grindhouse Sharpener

In addition to 8 full-sized eye pencils, they included a double barrel pencil sharpener which is great. Once side for regular eye/lip pencil, one side for jumbo sized pencils. But I found NYX pencil sharpener is almost exactly the same as the Ueban Decay one, and works as great! See below pictures for comparison.

Left: NYX pencil sharpener (Black)
Right: Urban Decay Grindhouse Sharpener (Purple) 

They all have the same shape, same blade, same design. The only difference is the price tag, really. I use it since it's included in the set, but I will buy the NYX one if I were to buy a new sharpener. (NYX one was $3.99 when I bought it, so cheap, but great quality!)

All in all, I really really enjoy using these eye pencils. Wonderful pigmentation, creamy, long-wear and waterproof! Although I'm more of a neutral person, Junkie and LSD didn't get much use, still, it's a great value for 8 full-sized pencils. My top picks: Stash, Perversion, Rockstar, Hustle, Mushroom. Love it! And I found these don't irritate my sensitive eyes, which is a great plus! 


What do you think of this eye pencil set? What are your favorite Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil shades?

Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner


Koji Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Deep Black

When it comes to liquid eyeliner, I am no expert. I prefer pencil eyeliners or gel/cream eyeliners as they are easier to control. Last month when my sister visited me, she brought me this Dolly Wink liquid eyeliner. I've been wanted to try this Japanese liquid eyeliner for quite a long time because I've heard/read so many good reviews. And I was pretty happy I gave this a try!

Sephora Flashy Liner and GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

(Please read til the end for a giveaway^-^) This is by far my favorite eye liner pencil ♥ I already have deep black, taupe, and now I got another shade in flashy ultra brown, a gorgeous rich chocolate shade with very fine gold, bronze shimmers. These flashy eyeliner pencils from Sephora are very creamy and rich in colors and textures, yet not too soft that require sharpening before every use. I'd say this flashy liner is between Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil (which is a bit on the hard side) and NYX  Slide On eye pencils (also very creamy, but I found them too soft and require sharpening before every use!). Sephora flashy eye pencils are just perfect! Colors are very rich in pigments, super long-lasting and waterproof (you need waterproof eye makeup remover to remove!)

Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner Black Review and Swatch

Hello ♥ Today I wanted to share my review on the Wet n Wild Mega Eyes Creme eyeliner in black. I have read so many good reviews on MakeupAlley (a great place for beauty product reviews!), many said this Wet n Wild creme eyeliner is comparable to MAC's fluidline, and even better, so I wanted to try this myself.
