Does It Pack A Punch?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">I have been on the hunt for a khaki green eyeliner for the longest time, I have a purple pencil just like these from L&#8217;Oreal that I wear most days so I&#8217;ve been wanting to add some more shades to my collection to change things up a bit. I was browsing my local Wilko&#8217;s (for a replacement of my favourite mascara actually!) and I saw these! The same mechanical pencil of my favourite L&#8217;Oreal one, but so many colours and only \u00a31.50. So naturally I picked up three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"576\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/?attachment_id=576\" class=\"wp-image-576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06350-edited--840x473.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"577\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/?attachment_id=577\" class=\"wp-image-577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/millidavison.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1DSC06365-840x473.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Colours&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You just cant beat a classic brown liner, so I got the shade 35 Sparkling Brown. I didn&#8217;t twig in the shop that this was actually sparkly, but it is! It&#8217;s not overly noticeable but it does have a gold shimmer running through it that is so pretty. Its so soft and draws on so easily, the colour is really pigmented so you don&#8217;t need to scribble to build up the the colour, one or two swipes and your good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next shade down is 12 I Have A Green, and again this one is shimmery. This is more of a teal turquoise shade with silver reflects in it, and if you didn&#8217;t know this is my favourite colour! I wanted my bridesmaids to wear this colour for the wedding, turns out its impossible to find! Anyway, this shade is much brighter than I first thought, the creamy intensity from the colour really pays off on the skin its a beautiful shade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly the bottom shade is 36 O-live You. Cute! This was the shade I was initially drawn to, its a true olive khaki shade and unlike the other two this one is not shimmery at all, its a completely matte pencil. The formula of the pencil is the same as the other two, super intensely pigmented and creamy, draws on with ease with just one swipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Application And Wear Test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I prefer this style of pencil over a regular pencil you have to sharpen to keep precise, I find these easier to use as the actual product tends to be creamier and you don&#8217;t have to worry about sharpening it you can just wind it up and go. These from Essence didn&#8217;t disappoint, I would even go as far to say they&#8217;re actually easier to use than the L&#8217;Oreal one that I love! Just because its a fraction of the price doesn&#8217;t mean you have to compromise on quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These liners claim to be long lasting: <em>&#8216;The long-lasting eye pencil from essence is the ultimate eyeliner for those wanting an intense and long-lasting colour. With its innovative twist mechanism, the long-lasting eye pencil ensures a particularly accurate and easy application. It gives a thin but dark line that stays without smudging.&#8217;<\/em> It also says on the packaging that they&#8217;re waterproof and should last for 18+ hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, as you may expect, I haven&#8217;t actually worn these for 18 hours, not even close! But the real test for me is wearing these when I&#8217;m running around at work and if they transfer to my upper eyelid. Well I&#8217;ve worn them for 12 hours during busy days at work and they&#8217;ve not budged <strong>at all<\/strong>, no transfer no smudging. Come the end of the day they come off with micellar water super easily, but until you want them off they certainly stay put really well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would I Recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely yes! Lets just set aside the fact these are only \u00a31.50 for a moment, they&#8217;re genuinely a lovely pencil to work with. The colour pay off is fantastic and no matter what look your going for there&#8217;s a wide selection of colours to choose from. I&#8217;m definitely going to pick up some of the other colours next time I&#8217;m in a Wilkos. If you&#8217;re unsure if coloured eyeliner is for you or you don&#8217;t know if its something you&#8217;ll incorporate into your routine, these are definitely the ones I&#8217;d recommend trying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love a coloured eyeliner for everyday, it&#8217;s a simple way to spice up your everyday look with such little effort. These are without a doubt a staple in my routine now. I&#8217;ve reached for the shade 12 I Have A Green the most out of all three I picked up, but all of them are beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you tried a coloured eyeliner in your everyday makeup looks?
