I decided to blog something because I can't let my emotions take over so here it is.. A review of the Sephora 12 HR Jumbo Pencil in Taupe. Previously, I reviewed their 08 Gold which is absolutely stunning, creamy, amazing- name it all, here.
Has the same packaging ofcourse. If you remember my review of the Nichido Lip Pencils, they're also made in Germany. Tip: If you are planning to go there, bring me some cosmetic liners, please! :)
Anyways, since it is waterproof, you'll need to really be quick on blending the product or else it would stay put. I can take that as a negative side of this. It is actually creamy but you'll need to move very quickly in order to blend it. This can be used as a base, highlighter, eyeshadow- 3 in 1 product for a cheap price! $16 SGD ($12 in US).

It is absolutely beautiful! Very stunning shade. Ideal for everyday wear. I'd suggest using the MAC Espresso on the outer-V then use a matte black (preferably the MAC Carbon) to deepen it. It will look really great! It reflects nicely on photos and lasts all day on your lids. It glides on similarly to the Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners.. Great!

It does slightly reflect on the natural lighting. This pencil is more like NYX but a high end-ish type. This is once again, a great eyeshadow to use for everyday wear. If you love neutral colors with shimmer/metallic finishes, go with this!
Tested if it is waterproof: It IS waterproof, wondering why the photo shows it go asdfghjkl? I rubbed it magnificently (more than 20x, yep!) and if you're pretty much going to rub it the way you did to your hands to your lids, I don't really want to do that... If you're going to use a makeup remover, probably I might say atleast 3 swipes (not pads) will be enough for it to be clearly removed.
Will I recommend it? YES!
Will I repurchase it? Yes!
By the way, I'll not be going to Singapore and Thailand. Instead, I'll be heading to Korea! Yay to Myeongdong, the cosmetic street of Korea! Yay stock up tons of Jin Ramen! What I like most about it is that you'll get SHIT loads of samples when you purchase! Yaay Korea!
On my list: Etude House, Laneige, HERA, Tony Moly, Holika Holika, Too Cool for School, Innisfree, The Face Shop, Skin Food, Nature Republic, Uniqlo, Forever 21, Zara, H&M, Korean Concerts, Korean CD's and Albums.. Yup! My allowance is quite high because my grades are high and some stuff.. I have 850,000 Won to spend, and forsure, I won't spend all! Thanks for your time..
