Bh Cosmetics ★ Liquid Eyeliner

The product in this post were provided to me by Bh Cosmetics
Though required to review for their website all opinions stated are my own

Product; Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Regular price; $5.95
Price changes depending on current promotions
(Bh Cosmetics almost always have a sale price available, the percentage changes)

"Better than ever, our famous liquid eyeliner is back!
This high-precision, long-lasting liquid eyeliner pen has a quick drying,
smear-proof formula that will ease you into creating your perfect cat-eye or a lined
& defined look. This perfectly portable liquid eyeliner was made for easy, on-the-go glamour."



The outer packaging is simple
But the materials used are of a good quality, you can see the texture in the image
The box itself is actually slightly tapered, the camera didn't quite catch it
But it's a little quirky feature I liked


Again for the products packaging, it's simple and sleek
The pen was also shrink wrapped which is good for product protection and guarantee


It is a "felt pen" style of eye liner
The brush is rather solid and harder than most "brush pen" styles of eyeliner


It's easy to draw different thicknesses of lines depending on the look you want
It dried very quickly and once dry I attempted to smudge it
Attempt being the key word as it does not smugde!
It actually took a fair amount of effort to remove even with product


When I testes the eyeliner I felt it was fair to try it with my usual style
It's something I do the most often with eyeliner which would allow me to make
a fair comparison and review, apposed to trying a whole new style and reviewing it
with the risk that any mistakes in the look could effect my opinions

On the left side is the eyeliner
On the right is no eyeliner

Due to the hardness of the tip, I found it slightly uncomfortable to apply
It didn't "flow" very well on my eyelids whilst drawing
It also unfortunatly dragged the product too, meaning I had to go back
and make touch up to areas where the colour had been moved around
To avoid this you are best trying to apply in a less hasty manner


Using the liquid eyeliner on my upper lids only with complete make up
Despite the product dragging, once complete the colour is very dark and solid
It's just a shame it takes a little effort to acheive that


Packaging; ★★★★★
The packaging is fine, I don't mind it being simple and black at all
I think the brand logo is displayed well and the outer packaging was good quality

Function; ★★☆☆☆ (2.5)
The dragging of the product unfortunatly put me off
as did the hardness of the nib, on such a sensitive area this should be softer

Longivity; ★★★★☆
It does not smudge at all so that's a relly good trait
Unfortunatly it's longivity is also a burden as it was really tough to remove
and with eyes being such a sensitive area you don't want to have to scrub at them

Over all; ★★★☆☆

Would I buy it in future; No, I have used better eyeliners I would choose over this
But I wouldn't bin it or anything, I will definitly keep it around for a back up or emergency
(I'm not sure what emergencies will need the aid of eyeliner though haha)

I feel really bad, this proably wasn't the best review to start with haha
But there is better on the way from this company I promise!
