Maybelline Vivid and Smooth Eye Pencils Gold, Olive green Swatches, Review

March 16, 2011 By: Bhumika

Maybelline Eye Studio Vivid and Smooth pencils come in 12 different pretty shades..I have Gold and Olive Green in it…the other colors are :

  • Bordeaux Pearl
  • Violet Pearl
  • Pink Pearl
  • Lavender Pearl
  • Metallic Silver
  • Peacock green
  • Forest green
  • Ocean Blue
  • Ice Blue
  • White
What the Company claims: 
  • Vivid color and Smooth Application ensure that eyes will never be dull again
  • Available in 12 stunning shades to match your every mood
  • So easy to apply, you can now be your own make up artist!

Directions for use : Apply along your lash line from the inner to the outer corners.
MRP: Rs. 199/-
Shelf life: 2 years
Both the colors gold and olive green has golden shimmer…these are creamy and pretty smooth.
Green, Gold

Pros:
1. They are vivid and smooth as per their name…they glide on easily and no need to tug or pull skin to use this.
2. The colors are pretty..and there is a white too..which is not available in many brands..white pencils help open up eyes..
3. They are quite economical at Rs.199/-
4. They are to be sharpened..so hygienic..
5. I use the gold color in my inner corners of eyes to make them appear bigger and brighten up eyes.
6. These do not smudge and stay on for a long time. 
Cons:
1. These are shimmery..and the shimmer does show up around the eyes..so these are good for ocassions..but I prefer matte ones for daily use.. 
2. These do not claim to be opthamologically tested and waterline safe.
3. No names on the pencils…though there are colored tips at the bottom..but in case we talk about green..there are 3 greens in this range..and its difficult to identify which.
4. These are very creamy and tend to break if not handled carefully..I have to be conscious closing the cap.
Rating:
Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 4/5 
Overall rating: 3.85/5
Do you have the Vivid and Smooth pencils ? Which shade is your fav ?
