Buxom Eyeliner Review

Beauties! It has been quite awhile since I have posted and I am extremely sorry for my absence. I've been in this crazy process of moving and trying to get my new house set up and it's been a stressful mess. Long story short, we were supposed to get new carpet and hardwood installed the day before we moved, but we didn't get it until the same day that we moved in, and of course it rained all day long while we moved. Then the wood for our kitchen/dining room and entry way didn't come in on time (and we are still waiting for it) so the house looks a bit a mess. We also haven't had a day off together in forever so we still have to paint basically every single room. We only have one room in the house completely finished but I've been taking lots of pictures so that way I can post some painting ideas and the before and afters of the rooms, and DIY's for the rooms. It's coming along slowly. Unfortunately, we are kind of at a stand still until we get the hard wood put in, and make it past the Holiday's before any major renovations being taking place.

On to what I actually want to talk about. It seems that the posts I am getting the most feedback from are the ones where I review products. Because of my job, I get and purchase a lot of new products/products I haven't heard much about so I can try them before trying them out on customers.

I've been testing out the Buxom Hold the Line Waterproof Eyeliner(s)for about a month or two, and let me tell you, I have found my new favorite black eyeliner. It is a pencil eyeliner that comes in 8 different shades. I only own the one in Jet Black, however, I have tried about 5 of the other colors and it seems to me that they all perform the same.

The eyeliner is $17 at Sephora and it comes with a pencil sharpener which is always nice. It is paraban free, sulfate free, and phthalate free. It comes in matte, metallic, and sparkling shades. (I have only used the matte and metallic shades) The texture of this eyeliner is so creamy and the pigmentation is awesome. I have no trouble with it staying on my eyes all day long. The product claims "14-hour wear" but I think the wear of a product really depends on the person. It stays in my waterline all day long. I generally only put eyeliner on my upper water line, and I do occasionally see some product transfer onto my lower waterline. This isn't a huge deal to me because that's a hard thing for an eyeliner to accomplish, but it could be a deal breaker for you?

I think that this product is definitely worth a try. Reading the reviews on sephora.com -- it got a 4 out of 5 star rating which is pretty darn good for an eyeliner in my opinion. It looks like many of the people are saying the sparkling eyeliners are giving them troubles, I am also seeing a lot of people complaining about the staying power of any of the eyeliners. I use a primer and have no problems with it smudging. It could be that people aren't using a primer with it, or that these people have oily eyelids. I don't have oily eyelids, so I cannot attest to this issue. If you have oily eyelids and have tried this product let us know in the comments if it worked for you or not?

Here is the eyeliner, and a swatch of the eyeliner... Great pigmentation right?

Here is the eyeliner on my top eyelid and all the way around my waterline.

I love you all much! I hope you liked this review. If you have any requests or specific products you want me to review, just comment or email me or DM me on twitter and I'll do it for you!
