Let it be known, in the past I haven't really enjoyed using pencil eye liners. I can't deal with smudging, or formulas that pull on my eyelid. Ain't nobody got time for that. However in recent times I have tried a couple of lovely formulas that have gotten me back on the pencil liner bandwagon, the first of all being Australis's 10 Hour Wear Pencils.
Even though these are in a pencil format, these have such a smooth buttery texture more reminiscent of a cream product. The product in the pencil is very soft, so soft in fact I would warn you to take care whilst sharpening the pencils. When you apply these on your eyes they apply smooth and opaque with a single line, and once applied they set within the minute. Once these babies set, I tell you, they are not going anywhere for atleast ten hours. The longevity of this product stands up completely to the 10 hour wear claim. Have I convinced you yet? Okay! Let's check out the colours.
Aqua Attack, Grape Cake and Bombastic Bronze
Despite the slightly hilarious names, these colours are swiped only a single time to achieve the opacity you see in the picture above. Aqua Attack is a matte sky blue, Grape Cake is a metallic purple with a black base, and Bombastic Bronze is a metallic bronze. I find Bombastic Bronze the most wearable colour but the blackened base of Grape Cake gives it a dimension that I really enjoy. I can only imagine that Aqua Attack would look stunning on someone who didn't already have blue eyes like myself.
I wanted to post about these today because Priceline is currently having a sale for buy one get one free on eye and lip products. I would highly recommend you try these eye liners, they are one of the best products from Australis, and I sincerely hope they release more colours in the future.

I've been looking for a good purple eyeliner, but I haven't been able to find Grape Cake! I would love to get bombastic bronze too, so hopefully I can find them both at a priceline before the sale ends.
ReplyDeleteMaybe try their online store!

ReplyDeletei use eyeliner often so these are on my wishlist! i am going to figure out how i can get them to me!
I don't think they ship outside Australia D: maybe we could do a swap sometime haha!

Wow! I am impressed with the quality of these eyeliners and the fact that they are so awesomely (if that is a word) affordable! That blue one is so bright, I must add it to my collection.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this review, great work

Thank you hun!

These look amazing! I love the bronze color... I'm really enjoying the bronze Maybelline color tattoo at the moment so this looks so enticing! Also, I appreciate the title of this post!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love the bronze too :)
Deletex
Thanks for letting us know about these and the Priceline deal. They look fantastic. I'm especially loving the aqua and bronze ones.
ReplyDeleteI hope you take advantage of it!
Deletex
You know I love them dearly Mishelle ;D I find the formula very similar to the prestige total intensity eyeliners. For my everyday look I like to make a gradient effect using both bombastic bronze (Australis) and bold brown (Presitge) :)
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds awesome! I haven't tried the prestige ones!
Deletex
thanks for the heads up michelle! i love the urban decay 24/7 pencils but these would be a much cheaper alternative :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the urban decay ones!
Deletex
bombastic bronze is an amazing colour!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right :D
Deletex
These look great! Definitely want to try out bombastic bronze :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!

DeleteAhhh Grape Cake looks stunningggg! I actually haven't tried any of Australis eyeliners before, but you're certainly making me want to now - especially with the promotion happening! Thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice :)

I have been looking for a good black pencil eyeliner for a while:)
ReplyDeleteSames!

These are so pretty! I was just at the Australis stand yesterday thinking I'd love to try out more of their stuff but didn't know where to start. Good timing Mishelle, you have pointed me in the right direction! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could help out! :D
Deletex
These look awesome! I'm going to check them out in Priceline tomorrow. Is the bronze one similar to the maybelinne colour tattoo in bad to the bronze at all?
ReplyDeleteI just swatched them together and bad to the bronze is much lighter and silvery toned whilst the Australis liner is darker and more brown :)
Deletex
Sweet that justifies me having both haha thanks x
Delete:D Yay!
Deletex
Well, don't these just look gorgeous? I'm especially in love with Grape Cake. I hope you know that if I end up buying this, I'm going to blame YOU. Haha.
ReplyDeletePS, if you're looking for a great black pencil liner that stays put, I highly recommend Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof. It's very affordable and I've recommended it to a few friends, who love it too. :) Doesn't budge and it's a proper black!
xx
I just got a new nude eye liner that I am loving from Rimmel! I will totally take the blame :D
Deletex
So pretty! I'm semi glad I only use black eyeliners and have some sort of restrain when it comes to eyeliners and eyeshadows, anything else and I'm a goner!
ReplyDeleteHaha I know that feeling ;D
Deletex
Umm wow I need that blue & purple eyeliner, like now!!! & the bronze one too :D Thanks for the review, when I see these next I will have to get them! xx
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! Love love love the colour Bombastic Bronze :) Damn I was just in Priceline today and I can't believe I completely missed the Australis offer! Definitely heading in asap- the pigmentation looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOmg all of those colors look fantastic!!
