Review: No7 Amazing Eyes Pencils!

Here's a product that I think deserves a lot more hype than it gets; No7 Amazing Eyes Pencils. I must have gone through about 5 Black, 3 Brown and 2 Grey of these pencil eyeliners and even though I occasionally buy others, I just go straight back to these. Nothing I've tried compares to them!

No7 Amazing Eyes Pencils, Top-Bottom: 05 Black, 10 Brown, 15 Blue Grey
These are some long wearing things! Application is just lovely as they are creamy without 'smushing' and breaking, nicely pigmented and blend well if you work quickly. The pencil will set within 30 seconds and then it will be unblendable and unmovable, but I find this to be a good thing... I never need to blend any further after I've applied it and it will prevent any smudging later on.

This is a new pencil. They're pretty long and have a smudge tip at one end which I only use every now and again when I can't be bothered to grab a brush, but it is pretty good and definately useful for travelling. When you buy this, it comes with two caps, one for each end however I find that I always end up losing one for some reason...

Top: Unblended, Bottom: Blended
L-R: 15 Blue grey, 10 Brown, 05 Black
One disappointment is that it only comes in these three colours. I'd quite like a purple or a blue, maybe even a white. The shades are all pigmented and all of them are very long wearing. I can apply them at 7.30am and they'll still look good at 5pm which is ideal for the office, school or college!

Needless to say, I love these and will continue to rebuy these until I stumble across something even more amazing (unlikely).

These pencils are hypo-allergenic and available at Boots in the UK, and Target in the US. Price is £7.75 however Boots has a habit of giving out £5 vouchers for No7 if you spend £5 in the store (separate transaction... spend the £5 then you get a £5 voucher to spend in another transaction).
