FRIDAY FAVE! Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Eye liner pencils.

I originally brought shades Cinnamon and black when these first launched and if I am completely honest I didn't like them! I found them way too soft and stopped using them altogether for a while. I did love the shade Cinnamon though so I persevered and I am glad I did as I now really like them. 

I just added shades Sequin Green (shimmer) and Cocoa (matte) to my collection and re-purchased Cinnamon (shimmer). Cinnamon and Cocoa are also VB's personal favourites!

Now I actually like the soft application of these pencils as they do not drag the skin and they are very easy to smudge and blend as they apply so softly. They set and dry so that they are completely longwear and waterproof which I also love.

So its safe to say these pencils are a firm Friday Fave! Definitely Cinnamon is the winning shade for me.

They come with a really nice pencil sharpener as well which fits the pencils perfectly and is so much easier to clean I have noticed than other cosmetic pencil sharpeners which often really irritate me.

Available in 19 vivid colours consisting of shimmer, jewel and matte finishes.

RRP.£32.00
