Review on SHANY Multi Use Colors Chunky Pencil by Maria Marshall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very nice pencil set and unbeatable price

I am much happier with this pencil than I expected. Here are some quick points based on my usage: - Fast and easy app. Good time saver. It is applied smoothly, does not tighten the lips, minimally tightens the eyelids. Large selection of colors. I wasn't sure if I would use all the colors, especially dark ones, but I was happy even with those that matched my pale complexion. The pens are labeled "Eyeshadow" and "Lipstick" but they are interchangeable. (For lipstick I've used two purple eyeshadows so far.) Can also be used as a blush. Vegan pens. SHANY is a member of PETA. The ingredients come from Japan and Korea. (They are assembled into a finished product in China and are not made from scratch there.) -- Free from strong taste and odor. - Not annoying (at least for me). - Sufficiently durable. The eyeshadow beads up after about half a day, but I have deep-set eyes and haven't found an eyeshadow that doesn't wrinkle. The lipstick lasts for several hours before it needs to be reapplied. Requires reapplication after meals. Doesn't dry. The pigmentation is good. The color may not be as intense as some brands but I found it very good for daytime use. Can pencils be sharpened? (Haven't had a chance to try this myself, but other reviews suggest that it is. Not being able to sharpen them will definitely affect the final price as they won't last as long as I'd expect had .) -- A good case. Not sure I'll be keeping mine for long, but this is more than a decent case for those who like to have their makeup organized this way. The price for the set is great, fantastic value for money.

Pros
  • Long lasting eye and lipsticks come in sweatproof, heat resistant and waterproof shades.
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...
