PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: BOBBI BROWN CREAMY EYE PENCIL IN SMOKE 2

Here's an initial review on BOBBI BROWN'S CREAMY EYE PENCIL IN SMOKE 2

PRICE: 1000PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: BOBBI BROWN, RUSTANS, MAKATI CITY
OTHER LOCATIONS: BOBBI BROWN, RUSTANS, SHANGRI- LA MALL, ORTIGAS (SOON TO OPEN, AROUND SEPTEMBER)

Bobbi Brown's creamy eye pencils are rich and very pigmented. It comes in a dual ended pencil. The product itself on one end, then a smudging sponge tip on the other. The creamy formulation makes lining easy and the eyes stand out through the rich and pigmented colors.

Dennis, my beloved Bobbi Brown SA recommended this color to me. I was about to buy the Smoke color but he said that he finds Smoke 2 prettier so I gave it a shot. And he's quite right, it's a lovely stone- gray color.

THE VERDICT: 

Smoke 2 is a newer version of the shade Smoke. Smoke is a light gray color while this one is more of stone gray in color. It's lovely and it creates a soft black color when smudged or not.

Smudging Sponge

One good thing about this eye pencil is it's Smudging sponge at the other end of the pencil that you can use for softening the color and creating smokey eye make- up.

Overall, their creamy eye pencils are very good, but the staying power is equal to that of Ever Bilena. It lasts roughly for four hours on my brows. The only thing good about this is, you can use it as a jack-of-all-trades tool for the smokey eye look. Use it as an eyeshadow then smudge it all over the lid and line your waterlines and lash lines and lastly, define your brows. Smoke 2 is also my favorite color as of the moment because it's a unique stone gray color that goes off as a soft black color when smudged properly.
