Today i'm excited to upload swatches and pics of the new Eau La La liners by Sleek. These liners are similar in concept to the Mac chromographic pencils in that they are made to use anywhere that is desired and not limited to eyes or lips. When I first heard about these I couldn't wait to try them as I love anything that is multi-functional and versatile in makeup and they came in so many different shades. They seemed to good to be true.
So far I have purchased 8 of the 20 shades they come in and every single pencil is amazing and consistent in quality. They are soft and creamy, highly pigmented and transfer effortlessly onto the skin. I love all the shades and am so happy to see some of the more daring colours like the orange and the yellow pencil which you don't tend to see very often especially not on the high street.
When first applied they are can be smugded and moved around for about the first 20 seconds after this they go slightly sticky and then set so the staying power is really good. On the lips they are a little drying but would be great to make lipstick last longer and look more vibrant. On the eyes they are an amazing base for eyeshadow and last all day.
Sleek is a really great high street brand. I love how they are constantly bringing out great makeup artist products which everyone can get their hands on. These liners are great for personal use and will be amazing in my kit too. They retail at £3.99 each which is unbelievably reasonable as the quality of them is unflawed and yes I want the other 12 shades. They are available st Superdrug and on the Sleek website.
My only negative is that they are difficult to sharpen. They crumble a little and it is hard to get a real sharp point. This means you end up wasting product while you sharpen them which really saddens me because its really the packaging that isn't good enough for the fantastic product. A tip to sharpen them Iv'e found is to focus on sharpening the black part rather than the colour.
Enjoy them they are a rare find!

I've been eyeing these off for a little while but I wasn't sure what kind of quality they could be... but sounds like they're brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI'm especially in love with all of the unique colours, as you said, you don't see them often!
I'll be buying some of these for sure! :)

They are really great I'm having to restrain myself from going and getting all the other colours! Go for it!xx
DeleteI am not able to sharpen them at all.. But they are really lovely!
ReplyDeletethey are extremely hard to sharpen which is really unfortunate because the actual product is so good! if you put them in the sharpener loosely and aim on sharpening the black part thats the easiest way I've found to do it.
