I realized that when I was showing off these pencils in my “What’s in my makeup bag?” post that I had never done a proper post telling you how much I love these eye pencils.
Let me tell you, I am not a thin, only in the lashline type of eyeliner girl. I like a big, thick, bold slash that goes across my eye. And since I don’t normally line underneath on the daily, it doesn’t look like I’ve been punched in the eye when I wear a big line. So, when I came across these, I was a happy girl. The big pencil makes it easy to hold when applying & they even have the smudger on the end, in case I want to make it more blurred out to diffuse it.
The colors are deceptive. They look like they could just be a nice brown or a simple plum/purple (*see? still looking for the elusive “HGPL” (*Holy Grail Plum Liner). I *will* find it.) But when you get them out in natural light, you can see the gold flecks in the brown, warming it up, and the multi-tones in the purple giving it more depth. I do not lie when I say that I wear either one of these colors up to 5 days a week. They go with so many of my looks and make my daily routine just that much easier when I just want a dash of color & mascara and then I’m out the door.
Now, these are semi-soft pencils. I don’t know if it is due to the size or not, but, just know that they do require frequent sharpening with a larger sized sharpener. Do not be like me and let your pencils get down so low that the sharp pointy edges of the wood scratch your eyelids on application. (*Not that I would do that – I am merely showing that as an example of what NOT to do in that pic over there. You believe me, right?). These pencils are also waterproof and contain anti-aging ingredients like Ceramide 2, Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and Nylon-12.
You can pick them up online on the Sue Devitt website directly for $22/ea USD currently. Or, check your local ULTA and see if you can pick up one of their two-pencil packs for $35USD currently.
Have any of you guys tried these pencils? What kind of liner fan are you – thin, thick, top, bottom, all over? Lemme know so we can compare.
*Disclaimer: I received one of these pencils in a gift bag and the other one I won in a twitter contest.

When you look a little closer at the products you might be a bit worried about the colors – don’t be. I can tell you that the gold in the Volumizing Lip Gloss gives just a hint of sparkle and doesn’t overwhelming make you look all OG (*over-gold). The blush looks bright, but it really does blend down to a pretty natural flush color & the hightlighter just gives you a bit of glow, not glowY, if you know what I mean. Of course you know that the Face Defender is colorless because you remember reading about my love for it 
You know what? Why don’t I just show you what I mean with the colors. The hightlighter on the far right just glows. I applied the blush very heavy at the bottom so you can see how I blended it in up top. I put the gloss on heavy so that you can see the barely there gold & the also the pink color. And you can see how nicely the Violet shadow stick works with the Black Cherry Liner. Now, this is on my pale skin, applied heavily – your results will vary depending on how heavy-handed you are on application.
