Koji Dollywink: Liquid eyeliner in Black

Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I made a post because of school and finals took up a lot of time. Today I want to talk about one of my favorite makeup item which is eyeliner! For the longest time I was on the hunt for the "perfect" eyeliner. I watched a youtuber who is Saaamage and discovered the Koji Dollywink liquid eyeliner through her. This was a few years back and I still use it till this day! This is a Japanese brand and I order it online. So far I have used about 6 or 7 liquid pens and this is over a long period of time, one liner pen can last me for months! Therefore, I would like to share this for those that would like to try a good eyeliner which is worth the price!


My review:

The pen is a nice size which can fit in between your fingers like a real pen. The brush tip... is beyond AMAZING! I am serious, it is sharp, very precise which is great for a winged eyeliner look. The texture and finish is not matte... it dries close to a semi- matte. But it is not glossy when first applied, it dries quickly and does not smudge or flake off. This is water resistant! I tested this and it is true, does not move one bit with water. :)

 I can draw on my eyeliner in less than 5 minutes with the Koji Dollywink eyeliner. It is a very pigmented black color and does not fade at all. I can have a good 7 hours+ wear with this liner. I do not have problems with it, but I will say that using an eyelid primer makes it last even longer! For those who have extremely oily eyelids, this may have a slightly gloss towards the end of the day especially when it is hot outside.

TIPS & ADVICE: Wear eyelid primer, even when you're not wearing eyeshadows. I use ELF eyelid primer (cheaper price) and Urban Decay primer (high end). The Urban Decay is what I would use on very hot days just in case. ;)

Current Skin Type: Sensitive, Combination
Price: $15 (now it costs less)
Repurchase: YES!
Overall Rating: 4.9/5.0

Pros:
- Waterproof! - Intense black color
- Smooth application
- Easy to control (pen shape)
- Precise (sharp tip)
- Dries fast, No smudging, No flaking
- Travel friendly
- Good on top of eyeshadows

Cons:
For those with extremely oily eyelids it can become glossy since this is not very matte, more semi- matte type. 

That tip is no joke, the best one for eyeliner! Great for beginners, you cannot really mess up much with this precision. 

           

This eyeliner is pigmented, very black and I believe they have a brown color which I have not tried yet!

I can create this wing with no problem, I rarely mess up when using Dollywink. 

 I can start very thin in my inner corners, curve and make it thicker with wing at the end and there is no bumps or lumps, perfectly smooth :)

I bought this on sasa.com which is an amazing website with all kinds of skincare and makeup from all over the world. I will leave the link here -> koji dollywink black liquid eyeliner. Right now there is a new packaging, they changed it a few times and I feel that for me the formula did not really change much. But, I will say the packaging I had first time with polka dots was the cutest! It is not too expensive, less now compared to before and worth the investment. I always bought this on sasa.com, but there are other sites like imomoko.com where you can buy this! I do not recommend ebay or amazon because I have heard of fakes being sold on there by other people.

Hope you all enjoyed this eyeliner post! I might a post on how to create an every day natural eyeliner look soon! 

                                                             ~Thank You!~
