Prestige Cosmetics Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner
What They Say: "The no-budge, no-smudge eyeliner!", "Incredible long-lasting waterproof wear", and "Twist up self sharpening pencil provides precise application"
Jen's Experience: I have been getting more and more excited about eyeliners this season. I've tried some expensive ones and some not very expensive, and I have to say, this is one of the cheapest and one of the absolute best.
One of my main complaints with pencil eyeliners is that they often pull on my eye while I'm applying (even using short strokes), and often the amount of color I get is often pretty minimal. This automatic eyeliner goes on like a pen. It's so easy to apply; I am able to easily blend the line with my eyelashes and I'm able to adjust the width of the line easily. And because it's automatic, there's no point at which the pencil gets dull and the wood scratches my eyelid. (Ouch!)
I wish the color lasted a little bit longer. For me, it's good for 4-6 hours depending on my level of activity. A full workday at least would be optimal. But I'm ready to let that slide for its ease of application and the great color selection. I'm currently using gold eyeshadow with their Lightening (bright green) eyeliner, but now that it's on sale, it may be time to stock up on some new shades!
Retail Price: $4.99 (Walgreens, currently on sale for $2.99)
