Etude House Play 101 Pencil in 8 and 49 Review

Oh Hello Blog-O-World!

    I've been on the blogging spree lately. For some unknown reason, I'm inspired to create a couple of post this week. So grab a coffee, sit down, relax and let me tell you about my impression on the Etude House Play 101 pencils.

    

    These were released last year and Pony is the current beauty ambassador for these pencils. It comes with different finishes for certain type of uses. It can be used an eyeshadow, eyeliner, concealer, blush and lip pencil. I only bought 2 (which I usually do to test the product before I buy more).

Play 101 Pencil #8 (concealer)

Play 101 Pencil #48 (eyeliner)

   It looks just a typical pencil product but SURPRISE!, it's a twist up pencil which is very convenient because you don't need to buy a separate sharpener. And another thing, it comes with a built in sharpener so that if you want to create a precise application, just sharpen it and it looks brand new.

    Texture wise, it is very creamy. You can use the eyeliner as an eyeshadow base just blend it and apply an eyeshadow on top.

#8 - Concealer - great to brighten the under eye area

#49 - Warm brown - great for the waterline

    I like using #8 as liner on my waterline and to tight line to create an illusion of fuller lashes. For #49, I actually don't use it a concealer but as an eyeliner to brighten my eyes. This acts like a perk me up for my eyes when I'm tired and did not get enough sleep.

      These cost around Php348 each which is reasonable enough. One downside is that this is not waterproof and it smudges on my under eyes. I really have watery eyes so this happens most of the time when I use any eyeliner on my waterline.

    Verdict: I might try some of their more colorful pencils (red, pink, burgundy and the likes). I find that these pencils are really fun to play with to create certain looks like Pony does. This line is really unique and I don't see other brands carry these type of pencils. Overall, even though the brown color smudge on me, this is worth a try. They have a lot of colors to choose from and you can use it anywhere on your face. VERY NICE!

What do you think? 

Stay Awesome,
