Hi
girls (and guys)!
First,
I would like to thank everyone who read and supported my previous review. I really needed the support!!
I
hope everyone would have forgotten how I look without makeup by now
This
time, I’ve decided to do a review on eye liner.
I
guess I do not need to emphasize how important an eye line is to girls.
We
all know a good eye line works magic to our eyes.
As
a typical Chinese, I have the flap of extra skin over my double eye lid… which
makes it hard for my eye line to stay put.
To
make it even harder, I have oily lids.
I
have always had troubles finding the perfect eye liner that will stay put all
day.
I
have tried NUMEROUS eye liners.
I’ve
tried pencil, gel, liquid, felt tip liquid… You name it, I’ve tried it.
Before
I learned about this Motives Luxe Precision Eye Line, gel eye liner was my
favourite.
Easy
to use and control, and generally it stays longer than the others.
I
do not really like liquid eye liners just cuz it doesn’t look as natural (just
personal preference).
For
the gel liners, I’ve tried many brands.
I’ve
tried MAC, Clinique and other Japanese brands.
I
would say out of all that I’ve tried, I was most satisfied with the MAC gel eye
liner. But it’s still not the one that
would make me want to re-purchase. The
product dries out too fast itself!
Till
one time, my sister-in-law lend me a Chanel felt tip liquid eye liner.
I
really liked it!
It
was easy to control. The eye line did
not stay the whole day but it did stay for quite some time. I was VERY pleased.
*Note
– I never purchased the Chanel one as I was struggling if I should pay so much
for an eye liner. Haha
TILL
ONE DAY at a Motives product session, I learned that the Motives Luxe Precision
Eye Liner (the one in SILVER in the picture) has the SAME formula as the Chanel
felt tip eye liner. The only difference
between Motives and Chanel was that Motives used even better ingredients!
HOW
CAN I NOT GIVE IT A TRY AT THIS PRICE POINT????????
Although
the silver tube has now been discontinued… or should I say re-designed?
The
black one in the picture is the newest and most current Luxe Precision Eye
Line.
It
is bigger in size, and with an improved formula and ingredients!
I
APOLOGIZE for such a long intro, but I really do love this product a lot! Hahaa
SO, WHAT IS IT?
A
felt tip liquid eye liner!
On
the website:
-
Waterproof, long-lasting formula
-
Velvet touch precision tip for accurate application
-
Will not scratch, tug or slip
It
even contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is a moisturizing agent that is found in
good quality skincare products!
TEXTURE?
It
has a felt tip that feels very gentle on the eye/skin.
Very
easy to use and control.
I
use the colour in Jet Black and the name says it, the black is provides is jet
black! lol
THEN, HOW TO USE?
Just
open the cap and you’re good to go!
If
you’re looking for tips on how to draw an eye line, feel free to message
me!
I’m
more than happy to share my experience with all of you!
I
just don’t want to type too much in a review J
RESULTS?
A
well-defined eye line that lasts WHOLE day.
It stays
on the whole day with no problem~
Some
testings I did was to wear this eye line while exercising.
I’ve
tried it several times to make sure I’m not just “lucky”. Haha
What
kind of exercise?
30
minutes of cardio that includes martial arts, kick-boxing, dancing,
aerobics/figure-robics etc.
I
sweat CRAZY from it.
Results? Pretty consistent. The eye liner did not smudge/chip at
all. Not a single tiny bit!
THE PROS?
- The
black it provides is a truly dark black.
-
Easy to use and control.
-
The felt tip feels very gentle on the eye.
-
Most importantly, the eye line stay put the whole day. Even during and after sweaty exercises!!!!
THE CONS?
- With
the OLD version, the product does not last.
After about a month, the product is basically all gone.
-
With this NEW version, I cannot say how long the product can last as I have not
had this product for too long. I’ve
definitely used it for over a month, it definitely lasts longer than the old
version…. But I haven’t used it enough to say how long the product can last.
SUMMING IT ALL UP!
I
think this Luxe Precision Eye Line is even better than the Chanel one.
The
felt tip feels luxious, it is very easy to use and it satisfies my biggest
concern, an eye line that can last the whole day without smudging.
I
would recommend this product to everyone, even people in more humid weather.
Thank you!!!!!
Any questions or comments, let me know!!!!!
Also let me know what you wanna see next in my reviews!!!!!
