Sleek Makeup Kohl Pencil Glitter Black

Shikha Says:

     Another day, another Sleek product in the house! I should really get some loyalty bonus from these people you know. Just sayin….Ok back to the topic, let see what do we have in store today. Is it a pretty black color? Does the texture feel soft? Will it make my eyes pop? Is it affordable? Will it make my hair long and thick and give me the perfect figure and make me……Oops!! Got carried away there 😉

     Fine fine I’ll cut the BS (hey its 4 am and I’m sitting and writing this stuff man cut me some slack). I had some high hopes for this one. I was expecting a beautiful glitter which will add that oomph to my eyes. But sad to say it fell short of that mark. Why you say? Well it is the glitter particles in it that I feel cause its downfall. I will touch on this later in the post.

     The product comes in a pencil format which requires sharpening. The packaging has a matte feel to it and is black in base color and covered in silver glitter. It looks quite nice actually. The texture is not smooth per say but then again it is not really dry. It goes on well on the lower lid and needs a slight pull for the upper one. The color is a slightly charcoal black instead of a pure deep black. Price is $2.49 (Rs. 133/- approx). I got it from the Sleek website. Ok coming to the glitter.

     I felt that the size of the particles should have been a little finer. Secondly, when I swatched it on the back of my hand I got a lot of glitter in the color but on my eyes I got very little like quarter of what I could see in the swatch. I had to go over it a couple of times before I got the desired amount. Word to the wise, once you feel that the glitter is starting to come to a point that is adequate stop the motion. Going over existing glitter with the pencil sort of removes it.

     Thirdly, the glitter does not stay put. What I meant to say is that when I drew the line on my eyelid I could see the glitter on my lashes. This I feel would be a red light especially for people with sensitive eyes and those who are sensitive about their eyes. Heck I don’t want to feel a glitter particle in my eye. What is funny though that the glitter that actually manages to stick on stays put more or less. I know that glitter products always have a fall-out situation but I felt that since it an eye pencil kinda product it should not have had such a prob. You get glitter in lip gloss as well and that is not falling all over your chin.

     I don’t intend to be nasty or anything about it. I’m sorry if it sounds that way. I felt that if the particles were smaller and the formulation a little better this could actually be a pretty neat product. But in its present state it is a miss for me. I wanted to try out the other color available in it but will wait to see if changes are bought in.
     So that’s it from me for today. Hope you all liked the review. Don’t forget to participate in the Valentine day giveaways and contest on the blog and the FB page. Have a great day!
