I have three of these liners to share but for photo reasons I have split them into three separate posts
so I don't overwhelm you all with a truck load of photos!
Sleek MakeUp Eau La La Pencil's are the newest addition to the Sleek Make-Up brand
and come in 20 highly pigmented shades that can be used in various ways.
A quick note on the packaging - simple and black.
Colour co-ordinated end of the pencil so you can see instantly what shade you have reached for.
Easy to sharpen, sturdy enough, I doubt these will break with every day wear and tear.
Sleek MakeUp Eau La La Pencil's have a unique formulation that makes them waterproof
and only fade/remove when you want them to with make-up remover.
You can use these on eye's, lips, cheeks and the browns depending on the shade
and how you apply them of course.
They are soft and creamy so they do not pull or tug on the skin perfect for the delicate eye area.
Sleek MakeUp Eau La La Pencil's come in two formulas matte and metallic
with the former having the most shades available - a whopping 18!
In terms of formula I liken them to the Urban Decay 24/7 liners
only these are slightly firmer in texture.

Nutcracker is a chestnut brown shade and one of the most universal shades in the range.
Although in bullet form it looks a true brown shade on me it pulls slightly purple.
In my opinion this could be used on the eyes, brows and lips,
it lives up to the highly pigmented claims and glides on with such ease.
For me this is an eye liner for a nice change of pace from my standard black liner.
In my opinion this shade will look outstanding on green eyes but as it is so neutral
it will compliment most eye and skin tones.
I'd like to point out that the application was quickly done to show you the shade,
in both an all over wash and lower lash liner/ water line usage.
I wouldn't actually apply it like this for typical wear.
In terms this formula wears really well on the eyes, brows and cheeks,
on my upper lash line it lasted around 8 hours without budging,
on my waterline around the 6 hour mark but my eyes are really watery at the moment.
My brows it lasted until I removed it which was around the 8 hour mark.
The lip area is where it seems to falter a little but that is due to eating/drinking.
I found the formula to last for approx four hours which I think is more than reasonable.
I don't feel the liners truly lived up to my pigmentation expectations
although I do wonder if my oily skin is to blame?
Either way they are good enough pencils just not quite packing the punch of pigmentation
I had hoped for.

Thanks Jennifer :)
Deleteeverything you had to say about this pencil is making me wish that 11th april was tomorrow. nutcracker is a good name but would have preferred something more foody, as the shade is really making my mouth water. At £3.99, this needs to be mine. you know the rest, wolf, tongue, jessica rabbit, other shades, yadi yada

Aww thank you :) I'm not that sure of the shade or pigmentation truthfully
DeleteI love the colour of this one, really makes your eyes stand out! Plus for £3.99 I think its an utter bargain! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Charli :) it is a really good price I agree :)
DeleteI've never tried these but I agree they're lackign in pigmentation. With that said...maybe they'd make a good base?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bargain! I'll be trying this out along with a truckload of MUA products next time I'm in Superdrug, it'd be rude to leave my poor shiny Superdrug card unused in my purse anyway ;-) xxx
