Hello my lovely readers! So this week I am bringing something new to my blog, a beauty review! I definitely was not sure about doing this, because I am not the most informed in beauty related things but I felt like I needed to get my opinion out about this product.
If you have not noticed yet, I am reviewing the Kat Von D Ink! Liner, which I feel is a cult favorite in the beauty world and everyone just seems to love this eyeliner. The first person I heard talk about this eyeliner was from Claire Marshall while watching one of her YouTube videos about a year ago. Ever since then I've been on the fence about getting it, even though it seemed to have just been raving reviews that I heard, it was still an eyeliner that costs $19 and I was using a drugstore eyeliner that was working perfectly fine for me.
Two weeks ago, I decided to finally bite the bullet and invest in the eyeliner after talking to someone in person about their views on it. Of course, it was another great review. As an Asian I have really hooded eyelids so there is little room for me to really put on makeup that will be seen and because of the hooded lids, there can be a lot of transfer and oiliness. My friend said that this eyeliner was so hard for her to get off, she would have to use coconut oil to be able to remove it every day. After hearing this I felt more assured about investing in this eyeliner and I was pretty excited to use it.
The Kat Von D Ink! Liner is an eyeliner pen with a find brush tip, which I love because I prefer brush tips over felt tips and as you can see from the photo above, you can really control how thin or thick of a line you can get. Which was also a plus for me because some days I like a super thin line and other, I love rocking a thick cat eye. Now, it also says it is a waterproof eyeliner and I have only ever used one other liner that made that statement and that eye liner was truly waterproof, I would need an oil based makeup remover to be able to remove it but sadly, the Kat Von D liner came off of my eyes with water. It wasn't even hot water which sometimes will work for me, it was just normal tap water that I grabbed and wiped across my eye and it all smeared. I noticed this during the early part of the day because the corners of my eye water a lot from my allergies and my wing was gone by the end of the day and the rest of the eye liner later when I wiped it with water. It was honestly pretty saddening to experience after all of the raving reviews about the lasting power of this liner. I don't know if I just happened to get a defected product and I will attempt to exchange it at Sephora but for now, I personally am very disappointed in this product. If you guys have tried the liner, please share your experiences with me in the comments! Till next time.
