I am really impressed with Sephora’s Colorful Shadow and Liner Pencils ($14.00). I had a chance to try out the color dark taupe shimmer.

When I saw these, I naturally thought they might be perfect dupes for the Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic Pencils ($22.00), and I am happy to report that they are!

I obviously used this as an eyeshadow as you can see from the photos. I simply swiped it across my lids and blended out with my finger. This lasted me all day with NO creasing! That 12HR claim on the pencil is definitely true. To top that off, I did not even use a primer. I must say I was more impressed with this pencil than the Make Up For Ever one, where I did see some creasing by end of day. These are also waterproof !
I have another one of these in purple which I haven’t had a chance to test out yet, but I am looking forward to it! I also want to test these out as a base for other shadows. I’ll definitely be picking up more of these!

Hey Indya, oh this is pretty!!! It looks great on your skin tone! I've tried one of the MUFE ones and was impressed by the lasting power. Wish Sephora were more accessible here (I can only buy it from Sephora.fr), but then again it's probably good for my bank account that it isn't!

Thanks! I know exactly what you mean, this has been a sephora-filled month for me!
