Smashbox anticipates your Wish for the Perfect Pencils

December 15, 2010 Paris B 10 Comments

If you were to ask me, other than the Eye Wish Palette, I didn’t find the rest of the Christmas gift sets from Smashbox Cosmetics tremendously exciting. That was until my eye fell on the Wish for the Perfect Pencils set.

review smashbox wish for perfect pencils set

I do prefer pencil liners and after testing these mini Smashbox Limitless Eye Liners, I’m starting to contemplate getting the full size one that comes with a sharpener in the cap! Well ok, its either that or replace my Guerlain Kohl eyeliner pencil that’s been whittled down to nothing 😛

This is a limited edition set of 4 mini sized eyeliner pencils from Smashbox in their new waterproof longwearing formula. A good deal if you want to try out different colours. From what I see on the Smashbox website, Onyx (black) is a permanent colour while the other 3 aren’t.

Check out the swatches below to see if they might be for you 🙂

I’ve been using Onyx nearly everyday now and I like the nice black line it gives. Also because this is a mini size, its so easy to hold. Just quickly, here are the colour descriptions:-

  • Onyx – matte dark black
  • 14k – shimmery pale gold
  • Orchid – matte dark purple
  • Graphite – shimmery dark grey

These pencils aren’t as creamy as some others I’ve used, but they don’t tug when I draw it on my eye. It actually performs better after a few uses, rather than out of the box. I tried rubbing at the words I scratched on the back of my hand and the colours don’t rub off easily.

I do find that these eyeliners stay on the whole day for me with very minimal smudging (if any) and the colours stay true to the end of the day too. But it pays to note that I do not usually experience smudging or fading of eye liners (except Urban Decay 24/7 strangely enough) and I do not have oily lids.

So I like these and I am planning to pick up the full size Onyx pencil because it works for me. I can live with the other colours in the mini size. They aren’t quite must have shades, if you ask me, although 14K is very pretty for highlighting the inner corner of the eyes, or just brightening up your eyes in general. Useful to have in a mini size, but not a must have for full size.

Pros: Mini sizes are good to try to see if you like them, Perfect size for travel, 14k is a pretty highlight, No smudging on me

Cons: Some might consider them pricey, Limited Edition set for Christmas 2010

I see they have a full size Limitless Eyeliner Pencil in Peacock on the website, which is a sparkly teal. So I think you can just imagine which ones I’d be getting 😛

Have you tried the Smashbox Limitless Eye Liners? Perhaps you like or dislike them? Do share – I’d love to hear how these fare on you, since they work a charm on me 🙂

Smashbox Wish for the Perfect Pencils set retails at RM129. Onyx is available as a full size pencil in the permanent collection, price unknown. Smashbox is available at Parkson Pavilion and Parkson 1 Utama

    They’re gorgeous. Onyx looks like a true black, does it smudge at all after all day wear? The price is a little high for mini pencils but it looks like a good sampler to give Smashbox eye liners a try 🙂

      Onyx is my fave colour. It does not smudge on me at all. But then, very few liners do and if they smudge on me you can be sure that anyone with oily lids can rule it out! As you said, its a sampler set but now I really want Onyx and maybe Peacock >.<

    That’s my favourite set from this collection too. Eyeliners are one of my weakness and these look beautiful and quite longlasting.

    It’s my favourite! I always thought that pencil liners don’t stay as good as liquid ones till I tried smashbox.Stay all day long.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
