Shade name

My Experience with Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner – Shimmer Electric Purple:

Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner comes in a retractable pencil. It has a dual-ended sponge smudger and sharpener attached at the bottom. The pencil top has a black-colored plastic cap which closes with a click making it safe to toss the eyeliner in the bag without any fear of opening. The smudger too has a small transparent cap on it. 😉 The body of the pencil is supposed to be color coded, but the pencil here is blue in color which is not the color of the product. 😛

Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner packaging

Sephora describes the shade as a shimmering bright violet color. The product is violet in color, then why name it purple!!! They could have named it “Shimmer Electric Violet” instead which would have been true too! 😛 Anyway, the color is really pretty and the shimmer is not chunky, it’s very fine and gives a beautiful shine to the eyeliner.

Packaging

The pigmentation is not good at all. I was really happy with the pigmentation of the shadow and liner chubby pencils from the brand and hence bought this one too, but it doesn’t match up to those liners when it comes to pigmentation. In a single swipe, I can see hardly any color on my lids. 🙁 Though the eyeliner applies smoothly and doesn’t drag on my eyelids or lower lash line, it goes on easily; but I have to layer it and have to go over multiple times so that the color shows up on my lids.

Eyeliner packaging

My lids are darker than my face and even after prepping them, I have to go over a couple of times, and I don’t like doing that at all. Also, anther downfall of going over multiple times is that the product flakes. 🙁 No, it doesn’t comes off, but I can always see some flakes under my eyes. I clean them up and the next time when I look into the mirror, there is fallout again. 🙁

Eyeliner swatches

Coming to the staying power, this aspect is good. I have tested it for around 8 hours and the product stayed well. The color was vibrant even at the end of the wear time with slight fading. It faded more from my lower lash line and almost vanished from my inner corners.

Removing this liner is easy! As the product is waterproof, it doesn’t comes off with warm water or cleanser, but no hassle with an eye makeup remover. It comes off in a breeze and leaves no reside behind.

Pros of Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner – Shimmer Electric Purple:

  • Retractable pencil, no product wastage.
  • Beautiful color.
  • Does not tug on the lids.
  • Staying power is good.
  • Waterproof.
  • Comes off easily with eye makeup remover.

Cons of Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner – Shimmer Electric Purple:

  • Bad color payoff, have to go over multiple times to build the color.
  • Fallout. 🙁

IMBB Rating:
2.5/5

Would I Recommend/Repurchase Sephora Collection Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner – Shimmer Electric Purple?

While I love the shade, I am disappointed with the fallout and bad color payoff. The shade is not very unique and one can easily find a dupe in drugstore brands that perform well and are much cheaper as well. I will not repurchase this eyeliner.
