Product Thursday
When it comes to make-up, I am a “less is more” kind of gal.

I try to use foundation now that my strawberries-and-cream skin has decided to be red most of the year, especially at the nose and cheeks.
The one product I have the most trouble with is eye-liner. I have tried so many, it is not funny. The skinny crayons make me look like a raccoon. Some of the harder pencils don’t bother leaving enough color no matter how many times I go over one spot.
My past favorite eyeliner that did not smudge was a metallic from Wet-n-Wild but it is no longer being made. I can never find it anymore when I go looking.
I finally found a replacement.
Wet-n-Wild Coloricon in Mink Brown.
The first thing that attracted me was the price of $.99. I could have bought several different colors at that price. However, it was all a crap shoot at that point.
Once I took it home and opened the packaging to use it, I was hooked. The pencil was smooth and creamy as I drew it over the eye. I could make a thick line or a thin line, easily.
Another benefit?
The color was there, really there. When I thickened the line at the outside corners, I did not have to practically blind myself to do it.
The color is Mink Brown.
So while I get use to the better color and quality of the liner, I will have it for a long time because the pencil is about 9 inches long.
The only con is that there is a bit of a smudge and I have to use cream or lotion to remove it at the end of the day. Cleaning off old make-up should just be my routine and I am sure powder under my eyes would help the smudging be less of an issue.
Let’s just call it for what it is. A win-win situation.
Every Thursday I review a product or service. If you have a suggestion or a product that you would like me to review, please write me at bowmankaryn@sbcglobal.net.
Love the $.99 price tag. Thank you for the tip…once upon a time I used Estee Lauder…but alas in retirement, I have deemed it expensive. If it’s as good as you say it is…it’s certainly worthy of a post. Thank you.
So do you have a trick to keep the under the eye rub-off from happening?
If they have this in gold, I might have to give it a shot! I like a little bit of emphasis, but my eyes are sensitive to just about every eyeliner I’ve tried (and I haven’t been able to find my old one). At $0.99, it’s worth a shot!
Well, I do get sensitive to various make-ups and will not wear something that makes my skins flame up. Mary Kay is great but some of their products makes my skin burn. This product does not have that effect on me at all. And the price is definetely right.
Hey I’ll try it. I haven’t had much luck with eyeliner either. I need something that goes on smooth and easy because once I take my glasses off it is really hard to see to put the liner on.
My hands get unsteady. I tried liquid liner and failed miserably.
