PRESTIGE TOTAL INTENSITY EYELINERS AND MORE...

It so happens that there is so much to tell about a product that one post does not seem enough.Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliners are such dear products that I wanted to add some more input to my earlier post on the same here.So here we go again...
                               L2R: Strong Slate, Powerful Purple, Intense Olive Fierce Blue, 
                               Fearless Teal, Deepest Black , Daring Green, Bold Brown
  • Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliners and are available in 8 shades i.e. Strong Slate, Powerful Purple, Intense Olive, Fierce Blue, Fearless Teal, Deepest Black, Daring Green and Bold Brown
  • These are normally available online for purchase and are priced around 6$.
  • I had purchased these from here and these shipped pretty quick I must say.
  • These liners particularly the shimmery ones can be doubled up as eyeshadow or as eyeshadow base . Infact I use the intense olive as eyeshadow and it looks absolutely awesome.
  • I have checked and re-checked , yes these don't budge once set!!!
  • Smudge proof, water proof, creamy intense eyeliners...oui
  • The ingredients list is actually on the packaging of each pencil which gets ripped off once you remove the packaging ( and thats why am not able to provide the same here )
  • These remove easy with eye make up removers, particularly the biphase ones. I could not remove them easily with regular make up removers.
  • These remind me of Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners but way more pocket friendly
I hope this helps you lovely folks, am adding a copy of the invoice for all of ya to check and make sure...I placed the order on 22nd April 2011 from The Miracle Mile Beauty Center here and was delivered my goodies on 3rd May 2011 with a constant follow up from the vendor. So please go check it out and let me know what you think. They have some fantastic stuff in skincare, make up, hair care, nail care with brands like OPI , essie etc which I will be checking out soon. So go on help yourselves.....happy shopping!!

PRESTIGE TOTAL INTENSITY EYELINERS IN ALL 8 SHADES


I have lusted after these beauties for some time now and finally I've got my paws on 'em and well these are worth the wait....so without further ado here we go chicas all 8 shades.....bold brown, daring green, deepest black, fearless teal, fierce blue, powerful purple, strong slate (real macho names!!!)


LtoR: Strong Slate, Powerful Purple, Intense Olive,
Fierce Blue, Fearless Teal, Deepest Black, Daring
Green, Bold Brown
Pricing: These can be purchased for around 6$ online. I paid roughly the same alongwith shipping and that comes to approximately Rs.300/- per pencil ..(Totally Worth It)


What Prestige Cosmetics Says:


Total Intensity Eyeliner

  • Intense colors with deep black undertones.
  • Lasts up to 10 hours!
  • Waterproof, smudge proof
  • 100% Paraben free
  • Available in 8 shades                                                

Smoky black shades with an iridescent twist.
Smudge proof, Waterproof, Transfer proof.
Smooth texture for tug proof application. Paraben free.





Packaging: Originally these pencils were packed in tamper proof plastic packaging with the ingredients label clearly on it. Such a packaging ensures that the pencils are opened only by the customer once they purchase it. The eyeliner product  itself  comes in a faux - wooden pencil which has to be sharpened. The entire pencil is in the same color as the color of the liner in it. 



COLOURS
  • Bold Brown: wonderful creamy matte brown with very fine golden shimmer
  • Daring Green: is a deep emerald green with fine golden shimmer
  • Deepest Black: truly a deep matte black ( the deepest i've ever seen)
  • Fearless Teal : a proper teal shade with ultrafine silvery golden shimmer
  • Fierce Blue: a vibrant bright blue with ultra fine blue  shimmer
  • Intense Olive: a golden olive shade with loads of golden shimmer
  • Powerful Purple : a deep creamy purple with fine shimmer
  • Strong Slate : slate is what it is with a dash of slaty shimmer :)
NOTE: The shimmer ain't so obvious once applied and set,it only adds another dimension to the look !!!        





The texture of all these pencils is really creamy , smooth , soft , silky....WOW. These pencil liners actually are like gel liners on application.These dry to a smooth  finish and stay put once dry. These really live up to all the claims that prestige cosmetics makes of em.


All the blunt ones now sharpened with Nyx Dual Sharpener

As the product in these pencils are supercreamy I wondered how these would sharpen. The above picture shows...easy to sharpen , no messy deals there. Also I would like to add that when I originally tried to sharpen these with Lakme dual sharpener, I kept loosing the tip. When I changed sharpeners and used Nyx dual sharpener instead ...voila...Job Done Beautifully!!! The sharpener apparently makes a lot of difference....so lovely lassies please get a good sharpener.



The shimmer ain't so obvious on application

i


VERDICT: These live up to all the claims made by Prestige Cosmetics and are one of the most awesome eyeliners I 've ever encountered.

On a wistful note don't these liners actually look like the current gold standard in pencil eyeliners ' Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils '

Love,
Amritha.

REVLON Colorstay One-Stroke Defining Eyeliner in Blooming Blue







I purchased this a few months ago and well its a fabulous liner. Its creamy, supersoft and won't budge from your eyes once set. This does not irritate my eyes at all even when applied to the lashline. At the same time it came off in a single swipe with Lakme's 9 to 5 Makeup Remover. 

Heys:
  • super creamy
  • smudge proof
  • waterproof
  • durable
  • gentle on sensitive eyes
  • beautiful color
Nays:
  • Price
  • No Ingredients List
So long folks...
Love,
Amritha
