Boots NO7 Amazing Eyes Pencil Review, Swatches, Photos

Article By Preethi

Hello Beauties!!

We all are really obsessed with makeup. Our day is incomplete without makeup. Though I am not much into makeup stuff, yet there are certain things which I never miss and kajal or kohl is one of them.
I have started using kohl pencils/ kajal recently after my marriage. I have very sensitive eyes and I am very scared of  using any make up on my eyes. But after following beauty blogs I thought of using make up for my eyes. I I tried some brands and this one of the eye pencil I came up with. So let’s start with the review.


Product Description:

No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil gives a dramatic finish to eye make-up. The creamy formula allows for smooth application without dragging the delicate eye area.


Price:

7.75 GBP for approximately one gram.

Packaging:

Normal crayon pencil with a cap one side and smudger on the other side.

Ingredients and shelf life:

Not mentioned.

My Experience with " Boots NO7 Amazing Eyes pencil "

I have this in 05 Black. I like how I can use it to brighten up my eyes. I mainly use it for my waterline. In two perfect swipes, I can get accurate kohl application. Two more colours are there there in the range to choose from.  The kohl is highly pigmented and smooth in texture. I feel as if I have not worn anything on my eyelid and water line.  It glides on smoothly and gives my eyes the natural look.


It came along with a smudger and as I tried to smudge on my upper lash line it smudges easily.  Surprisingly, it does smudge on my water line, Iam very happy with this effect.
Also worth mentioning is its staying power. It stays for all the day on my water line, smudges a bit. It is not mentioned as water proof, if I wash my face with water it’s still there but I have to do touch ups again.


Pros:
  • Great pigmentation and intensely black.
  • Staying power is great, up to 8 on the waterline and even more on the lash line.
  • Very soft and smooth and glides easily, does not tug or sting the eyes.
  • Hypo-allergenic.
  • Can be removed easily with any make-up remover or olive oil.
  • The body is of the same color as the liner, so no difficulty in identifying.
  • Fragrance free.

Cons :
  • Not smudge proof.
  • Not water proof.
  • A bit pricey.
  • Ingredients and shelf life not mentioned.
  • Non availability in India
Would I Repurchase Boots NO7 Amazing Eyes pencil?

May be “NO”, I have better options with the same price.

Take care all of you!!!!
God bless !!
