Hey lovelies! I'm so happy that I said I wanted to post, and I'm able to get a post done on the very same day! Woo! And I have been wanting to do this review foreeever. The pictures have been in my camera I don't know how long. It's ridiculous.

| Top to bottom: Bronzed, Amethyst, Turquoise, and Taupe |
I have the Wet n Wild Coloricon Kohl Eyeliner in 660A "Bronzed," Coloricon Eyeliners in 661C "Amethyst" and 659C "Turquoise," and Coloricon Brow & Eye liner in 648 "Taupe." I hate it when spelling isn't consistent within a brand. Sorry if it doesn't matter to you, but it's a pet peeve of mine. I don't know why the "Bronzed" shade is labeled as a kohl eyeliner, because it is sold right along the other eyeliners and it performs just the same.
There's no denying that some lovely swatches can be obtained from the pencils, but actually getting the color on your eye is a problem. The pencils are so hard, it's like trying to line your eyes with a rock. Not only is it unpleasant, but it's dangerous. I had to go over the same spot multiple times to get the swatches you see in the above picture, except for "Taupe," which is another problem. While it is labeled as a brow and eye liner, I don't like the color for around my eyes, so I would only use it for a brow product. The product is significantly softer than the other pencils, so a lot of product comes off in my brows. It's very difficult (if not impossible) to get a soft/natural look, and I'm not one for full-on, drawn on brows. If only Wet n Wild would switch their formulas!
If you're willing to scrape at your eye to get good pigmentation, then go for it (they're only around a dollar each), but I don't really see the point since the shades are pretty basic and lots of drugstore brands have shades very similar. If you're looking for a good, cheap eyeliner, check out Jordana. NYX and Rimmel have some fun-colored eyeliners that also have great staying power.
Thanks for dropping by, and I'll talk to you soon!
