Essence GEL waterproof eye pencils - 01 Black Blaze & 07 Cloudy White

Hello my beauties, today I decided to write you about some amazing Essence gel waterproof eye pencils in the shades 01 Black blaze & 07 Cloudy white.

Pozdrav ljepotice, danas vam pišem o odličnim Essence gel vodootpornim olovkama za oči u nijansama 01 Black blaze & 07 Cloudy white.

So, in this range of eye pencils you can find 6 shades. From black and white, which I choose, to the deep emerald green or vibrant electric blue. On the online stores it ranges around 3$ (and also on Ulta.com, when you spend 10$ on Essence, you get one gel waterproof eye pencil for free!). In one pencil, you'll get 0.02 oz/0.57 g, which will last you a long time, trust me. ;)

Dakle, u ovoj liniji olovaka dostupno je ukupno 6 nijansi. Od crne i bijele, koje sam ja odabrala, do bogate zelene ili plave nijanse. Cijena jedne ovakve olovke je 20kn, u kojoj dobijete 0.02 oz/0.57 g proizvoda, koje će vam potrajati neko vrijeme, iako se s obzirom na gramažu ne čini tako. ;)

Also, I think I didn't mention that these are automatic twist pencils – so you don't have to sharpen them. Which is always such a fuss for me, when I'm in a hurry.

Čini mi se da nisam spomenula kako su ove olovke automatske i nije ih potrebno šiljiti, već samo odvrnuti. Što je zapravo super stvar, jer kome se da šiljiti olovku dok u žurbi završava šminkanje?!

Now, let me tell you why I love these so much. First of all, they are crazy pigmented, creamy and buttery. One swipe and voila! Although, white one, is just a tiny bit less pigmented than the black one, so if you want the full potention of the pigment – then you'll need 2 swipes.

Eh sad, da vam ispričam zašto baš ove olovke volim koristiti. Kao prvo, odlično su pigmentirane i kremaste. Potreban je jedan potez/nanos i voila! Iako, bijela nijansa je mrvicu manje pigmentirana od crne, pa ako želite potpunu pigmentaciju koju vam ta nijansa može pružiti, trebat ćete prijeći dva puta.

The second thing is their longevity. Of course, they will fade throughout the day, like the rest of the makeup, but they will still be noticeable. Also, the third thing is that they are smudgeproof & waterproof. I filmed a short demo for you (click HERE to see), so you can see for yourself. Also, when I use a baby wipe to remove the swatches from my hand, it took me some time to remove it.

Druga pozitivna stvar jest njihova dugotrajnost. Naravno, postupno će izblijediti kroz dan, kao i ostatak šminke, ali će i dalje biti primjetne. Uz to, vodootporne su i otporne na trljanje/diranje (hrvatska riječ sa smudgeproof? :D). Snimila sam kratki demo video za vas (klik OVDJE za gledanje), pa možete sami vidjeti o čemu govorim. S vlažnom maramicom se skidaju, iako i s njom treba nekoliko puta prijeći, da bi mogli odstraniti tragove olovke.

Because of their buttery texture, they will pretty quickly set, and when they're dry, they don't move. So, if you want to use them on the eyelids, you better be quick. I use these on the waterline (sometimes I use black on the upper and white on the lower lashline and they don't transfer or mix together) or mixed with an eyeshadow base to get more pigment from the eyeshadows.

Zbog njihove kremaste teksture, setirat će se poprilično brzo, a kad se osuše, ne mrdaju s mjesta. Ukoliko ih želite koristiti na kapcima, morat ćete biti brzi. Ja ih koristim na vodenoj liniji (ponekad crnu stavim gore, a bijelu dolje i ne pomiješaju se) ili u kombinaciji s bazom za sjenilo zbog intenziteta sjenila.

Ingredients/Sastojci

All in all, I really enjoy using these and will probably buy all left colors. What eye pencils do you use? Write me down in the comments below!

Sve u svemu, volim koristiti ove olovke i vjerojatno ću uzeti i preostale nijanse. Koje vi olovke za oči koristite? Pišite mi u komentarima!
