Bobbi Brown eyeliner pencils

[barapapa]

Hello- about to take the plunge and buy a new eyeliner pencil- I love the gel in pots (and yes I know they dry out) but has anyone tried the new pencils and can share their opinion?

[MooMinCow]

Not tried them, but Avon do this Supershock Gel Eyeliner pencil which does NOT budge and is cheap!

thanks MooMin- wish they did a dark brown- do they ever offer different colours?

[MooMinCow]

Black is standard, the khaki etc must be new season's limited editions. I got a lovely plummy brown called 'Blackberry' off EBay a while back? Worth a look

[MooMinCow]

Rimmel have a new range of pencil 'Scandaleyes'(?) that look similar too.

Yep I luff them - have 5 . You really need to put a bit of the BB long lasting eye shadow underneath to make the liner stay put all day though. I have a boring neutral colour ( Malted) which works really well.

Mum of 3- I live in Malted! is the perfect base.... thanks

Ooh fancy that! Yes I prefer the pencils to the pots, although they won't last as long I fear. Hunter (green) is a really good colour, which I wouldn't have bought if they hadn't suggested it. They all come with their own pencil sharpener.

i have Hunter, great shade. but i hate the gel pencils, they smudge like buggery. I am blinky and watery and they are shocking on me. More money wasted on so called must haves, grrrr

[barapapa]

just an update- the gel pencils are working out beautifully for me- if I use the BB long lasting eye shadow underneath as mumof3teens suggested. We're talking from 6 AM until 9 PM- so all day! Lololizzy- PM me - maybe I can buy your Hunter pencil?

I have tried Avon and BB and prefer the Avon for price and colour. Glad they suit you OP.
