Soap & Glory: Smoulder Kohl

As i've mentioned before, I have recently adopted the 'lightly lined' eye look. I was getting bored with the old winged eyeliner and I just wanted to look more simple and natural - it was also a pain doing the whole winged liner because I could never get both eyes looking the same and I just felt it was a bit too dramatic for everyday wear. I wear eyeliner almost everyday so I like something that's creamy, but will last all day without having to reapply if possible, so when I heard Sara from SWalker make-up rave about the Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl I dashed down to Boots to get myself one.   

and is a waterproof eyeliner with an in-built sharpener.

This is not going to be a huge review because how much can you really have to say about an eyeliner? My impressions before buying this eyeliner was that it may be comparable to the M.A.C eyeliners, however seeing as I've never tried a M.A.C eyeliner I can't make this comparison unfortunately. 

For the price I think this product is an absolute bargain and is definitely worth trying. Its like no eyeliner I've tried before, its super creamy and soft , it lasts on the waterline for a decent amount of time and I've found it a lot easier to line my upper waterline because I don't feel like its scratching against my eye like some eyeliners have in the past.
As for the whole 'waterproof' thing I can't comment as I've not been in contact with water whilst wearing the eyeliner however when I did some swatches on the back of my hand it did take a while to wash them off! With this eyeliner you can really achieve a quick smoky eye, its very quick and easy to use and even can be used as an eyeshadow base for black or dark blue shadows. 

The only negative thing I have to say about this eyeliner which is not even a big negative is that it can sometimes be a bit messy if your not careful however I think I can get pass this because in general its such a good eyeliner. 

Does anyone have any suggestions for other good kohl liner, preferably drugstore as I don't fancy paying a hefty price for just an eyeliner ?

  3. Sweet post! Eyeliner + a bit of powder is the only makeup I wear on a daily basis. I stick to liquid though since I love a good cat eye!

    Great blog by the way, come checkout mine if you get a chance :)
