Bourjois Khol and Contour Eye Pencil- Review and Swatches

Bourjois Khol and Contour Eye Pencils Noir Expert, Blue Virtuose- Review and SwatchesBourjois Khol and Contour eye pencils come in 8 shades. They have changed the packaging now and they write New Khol and Contour. But I think the formula would be the same as the rest of the things are still same.

Here are the swatches :

L- Blue Virtuose R- Noir Expert

Pros :

1. They are pocket friendly..not very expensive.

2. The shades are all nice and dark.

3. They are tested to be suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

4. They are waterline safe and do no irritate eyes.

5. They are made in Czech Republic.

6. This makes lining my upper lashline very easy.

7. They do not tug and glide on easily.

8. They do last long on my upper lashline.

9. These are blendable and can be smudged and used as eye shadows.

10.They sharpen easily and there is no much waste of product.

11.They are in pencil form so you can sharpen them and keep away from microbes for those who are more towards hygiene and don’t prefer mechanical pencils.

12.They are travel friendly.

13.They come off with a normal cleanser.

Cons :

1. They smudge a lot when used on the lower lashline but then they never claimed to be smudge proof or water proof.

2. They do not last 16 hours as claimed !! But ya these last 5-6 hours normally but less on the waterline and the Blue Virtuose smudges horribly when used on lower lashline.

Overall rating : 3.5/5

Would I buy it again- Yes ..love it for my upper lashline. I find it convenient,quick and easy as I have shaky hands and take more time with liquid liners.Plus I can carry this along with me if I need to.

Do you have these ? How is your experience ?
