Revlon Colorstay Pencil eyeliner in Black


It's summer and i start sweating rigorously. I need a waterproof eyeliner quick. I don't want to spend much money either. My friend recommended me the Revlon colorstay eyeliner. She wore it to prom, and it was raining that day, she told me it stayed even when she was walking in the rain. I guess i was convinced by that part.
This eyeliner comes with a sharpener at the end, so you can make your lines sharp. It glided on easily. Although it did get a bit messy for me, since i really suck at applying eyeliner. but the picture above is just to show you how the color shows up like.

The pencil glided on smoothly for the swatch. It's just one layer.
Then the second picture shows what's left of the liner after i rubbed it vigorously. Still a lot remain.
the third picture is after i rubbed it with water very harshly too. It took me along time to rub most of the liner off. It proves how the liner is waterproof. 

Overall:
Although the description says it's smudge free, oil resistant and waterproof, it didn't work very well with the smudge free part and oily resistant. It is waterproof alright. My eyelids tends to get oily. After I was out in the 96 degree weather, my eyeliner smudged in about 4 hours. Maybe it's because of all my sweat.
Then when I wanted to remove it at home, using my oil cleanser, it took me 2 washes to clean it off. very waterproof. 

Pros:
- Waterproof
- smooth application
- includes sharpener
- cheap price

Cons:
- easily smudged if you have oily eyelids
- hard to remove

  3. It's good that it's waterproof, but for it to be so great that it's hard to remove, it sounds troublesome! Thanks for the review!
