[REVIEW] Innisfree Shadow Pencil in #10 Starlight Grey

Hey guys! Sorry for the M.I.A, was preparing for my graduation ceremony for a week and just came back from Kuala Lumpur.

Anyway, I've heard a few people rave about this shadow pencil by Innisfree. It's basically an eyeshadow stick.

From my knowledge of this product, it has about 10 colours. Unfortunately, I could not find any online stores that sell this product anymore. They had a summer collection in 2014 in which the packaging was different from the original and the shades were different as well, and it was limited edition. However, I couldn't find the original shadow pencils so I'm not sure if it's discontinued or not. I got this last year and it was included in my 2015 Korean Beauty Haul so if you're interested, please check it out.

I thought the colour is gorgeous and it's super pigmented. It's also very creamy, glides on very smoothly and really easy to apply on the lids. It is a pretty shimmery grey colour. It's perfect for the inner corner of the eye and a substitute for a highlighter.

It is lightweight, easy to carry around, especially when you're travelling or when you just want to bring it with you in your handbag. Plus, you don't need a brush to apply the eyeshadow because it's in stick form.

It's also affordable compared to many other brands who also release stick eyeshadows.

It is, however not very easy to blend with a blending brush, or any makeup brushes, to be honest. You can definitely blend with your fingers, but it does get pretty messy and does not look very pleasant.

Also, there's very little product. Again, it's affordable, but the product isn't going to last you for very long (if you use it on the daily or use it often).

Formula: Creamy, smooth, easy to apply.

Longevity: Quite disappointed with the lasting power of this product. It lasted for about 4 hours only and after that, just a bit of the shimmers are left on the lid.

Does it transfer? It does, but only a little bit is transferred.

Price: 10,000krw

Store Location: Innisfree Stores (not available online)

Size/Amount of Product: 3.5g

Would I repurchase it? No, I'm just going to stick with powder eyeshadows in pans because it's much more easier to blend and it's much smaller in size. Plus, powder eyeshadows in pans are more affordable compared to stick eyeshadows.

Pros:

-gorgeous colour

-pigmented

-creamy

-easy to apply

-glides on smoothly

-lightweight

-travel friendly

-affordable

-versatile

Cons:

Overall Comment:

Even though the colour is gorgeous and highly pigmented, I would only use this when I travel overseas. It is quite a versatile product as it came be used as an eyeshadow, inner corner highlight and highlighter for the cheeks. It is, however not easy to blend with a blending brush, only has limited product and not the most long-lasting eyeshadow stick out there.
