Bein all Bad: Benefit BADgal liner waterproof eye liner (review)

Happy Monday, everyone! Since I was such a good girl all weekend; I thought I’d start the week off with something kinda baaaad (the good kind of bad). From Benefit Cosmetics.

BADgal liner waterproof (in NEW “espresso” and “charcoal”)


Blurb: Our slimline BADgal liner waterproof eye pencils, now available in three shades, stay put rain or shine. Line upper lashline for precise definition or smudge with the blending tip for a smoky effect. Winner of 2009 Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Awards - Best Pencil Eyeliner.

Just when I think I have no room for new eyeliner, I’m proven wrong. Thank goodness! These pencils are creamy, and deliver medium-sized, slightly sheer lines. They’re also easy to smudge (thanks to the nice formula and the handy blending tip). “Espresso” is a rich brown, and “charcoal” is a cool, soft grey. They set fairly quickly, and once they set, they are waterproof. That’s right – waterproof.

I gave the waterproof-ness a try by leaving my eyeliner on while I worked out in a pool. I splashed my face a couple of times, and even put my face under the shower (without rubbing). The color didn’t budge. And when I decided the experiment was over, it came off easily with my makeup remover. Both shades also wore very well on my waterline. Excellent!
