REVIEWED: ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils

I recently purchased ELF's new Shimmer eyeliner pencils- in 8 of the 9 available shades in an eye-focused ELF haul! This is the first time I've had an ELF order shipped to my home in Canada, instead of the US- and so was expecting shipping to take a few weeks, or up to 30 days as described on the website. So I was SHOCKED when my package arrived exactly 1 week after my order was placed! Quel surprise! So if you live in a major metropolitan area in the country- I'm guessing yours should arrive just as fast!

I have read reviews that have said that these liners smudge easily. That has not been my experience. I don't prefer to use waterproof liners, because I don't think they're healthy for the eyes. I mean any eyeliner that you touch will smudge with enough force, but who even plays around with their eyes once their makeup is set--I certainly don't! They'll easily withstand the damage of watery eyes, however!

FINAL THOUGHTS
For 1 dollar, the quantity and quality of this liner makes it not only an affordable option, but a smart one too! I think they're the perfect formula/consistency for an eyeliner- they go on easily, but are also easy to remove. I would say they're comparable to eyeliners that are a lot costlier!
