I’d be crap at product naming. I call a spade a spade and a
black eyeliner pen a black eyeliner pen. I thought it was about high time I
tried something from the Soap & Glory makeup line. Nothing really jumped
out at me apart from this and at just £6 it would have been rude not to!
I do love the Soap & Glory packaging. It is very cute
and the brand is instantly recognisable. This is, obviously, a felt tip pen
style eyeliner. The tip is very fine so you can get a precise line with it or
lay it on its side for a thicker line. There is just enough flexibility in the
tip to stop it being hard and scratchy but it’s firm enough to give you a lot
of control. This is arguably the most fool proof method of doing winged liner
that I’ve used.
When I first swatched it I was a little dubious. It seemed
to bleed a little and it smudged easily on my hand.
Thankfully over primer or
eye shadow it doesn’t bleed at all on my eyes. It’s a nice deep black that
dries down quickly. This doesn’t make any claims about being waterproof and it
certainly isn’t. If you get caught in the rain it does run (I know this from
experience). But on a normal day it does stay put on my upper lash line with no
fading. It is easy to remove too so if you sneeze mid application and fudge it
up (again from experience...) a quick swipe with a cotton bud and some eye
makeup remover will solve the problem.
I’ve been reaching for this in the morning when I should
have been out of the door 5 minutes ago and I just need something quick and
easy. I’ve really been enjoying it! Have you tried anything from the Soap &
Glory makeup line? Any recommendations? X

i've bought 4 marker pens like this in my life, different brands and 4 times i've been disappointed (eyeko and elf i am looking at you) and i've been stung too many times to have the confidence to buy some again xx

I remember trying one from Maybelline about 8 years ago that was dire. I sometimes think that ELF products can be hit or miss, I've ordered 2 of the same product before and have found massive differences in quality. I guess that's the price we pay for the tiny price tag. I have to say that thus far I'm still loving this liner. It doesn't seem to be drying out on me at all yet but I will update if it does! What didn't you like about the ones you tried? x
