Recently New Look collaborated with Giles Deacon to produce a beauty line for their stores.
The collection is quite vast with over 50 products on offer and in my opinion the entire range is
budget friendly with the most expensive item retailing at £5.99 - the nail wraps.
As I have quite an array of products from the range to share I will be adopting a mini review style
so to not bog everyone down with mountains of text!
The Good
Surprisingly both shades are well pigmented and soft in formula.
They are easy to apply and don't pull on the skin,
they also sharpen well and although the pencil is soft it is not overly
so you can draw thin straight lines with ease.
I also like that both pencils come with various ends - a spoolie and rubber blender,
making pencilling in your eyebrows or creating a smokey eye that bit easier.
The Bad
There is not various colour ways available each kit comes with one black eye liner
and one deep brown eyebrow pencil that won't work with every skin tone/hair colouring.
Yes the black liner is pretty much an essential item in many a make up bag
but a deep brown eyebrow shade will be too harsh for some.
That being said you could use the brow pencil as an eye liner.
My other grumble is that these do not last any time at all on the water line
but wore for around 4 hours on the upper lid, I also found that they smudged easily.
Also I did find the rubber end of the eye liner too harsh to use on the delicate eye area.
The brow and eye liner kit retails at £2.99 in selected New Look stores or via their web store - link
This post contains a PR sample.
I like that they're pigmented, but i'm not a huge fan of brow pencils anymore (too harsh) or pencils that don't last on the waterline.
