Review: TonyMoly Partylover Auto Eyeliner

One of the freebies I got during the recent TonyMoly SM Fairview store opening is the TonyMoly Partylover Auto Eyeliner Waterproof (whew! such a long name) in black. 

The description on the box says... 

"With a thick and clear color sense, just one touch will make you have a thicker and clearer eye line. This product is waterproof type, with its thin silicon polymer forming a strong coating layer highly resistive to water, sweat and sebum, which can maintain sustaining power of the eye line for a long time without spreads. Besides, the sharpener equipped in the container can keep the lead like new all the time."

I seldom use eyeliners because it’s such a pain to put (make-up newbie here). So when I got my gift pack from TonyMoly, I thought to myself that this is the last item I will make a review of, but then again, plans change.

Pros

• Staying power is excellent. No smudging even under the 34+ degrees summer heat 
• It's retractable 
• Has a sharpener 
• Glides smoothly when applied and doesn't hurt my eyes 

Cons

• Not highly pigmented. Contrary to the product description, one touch is not enough. It took me 3 to 4 swipes to get the look on the third photo. 
• Like most waterproof product, removing it from your lids can be quite hard. 
• Too soft. The lead broke twice while I was sharpening it (or maybe I was doing it wrong). 

The TonyMoly Partylover Auto Eyeliner is available at the TonyMoly store in SM Fairview and its counter at the SM North EDSA Department Store (soon in more locations). It retails for P248.
