Product Review: Stila Kajal Eye Liner Pencil


An entire hour spent sifting through goodies at Sephora, only to end up at the counter with a yawn eye pencil.

Yeah, I know… zzzz.

But hold on a sec, before you go clicking away to another blog to eyeball a more exciting haul, this modest purchase just might have been my best in months!

I first put Stila’s Kajal Eye Liner on my “check it out” list after seeing it featured as a Product of the Month on Mischo Beauty's blog. Now when a magazine recommends something… well, let’s just say I’ve been burned. But when a fellow beauty blogger gives a product the thumbs up, I’m on it like the semi-annual sale at Nordstrom.

This soft, (and shockingly!) creamy pencil glides on in single sweep. It leaves a rich, smooth line I thought was only possible with liquid or gel eyeliners. And no pulling or tugging at the sensitive skin around my fortysomething eyes.

Best of all, it stays put until I remove it at night.

Stila’s Kajal Eye Liner has given this “mascara only” gal’s eye game a much-needed WOW!

The pencil is available in eight shades ranging from the stardard Onyx (black) to the more adventurous Amethyst (deep plum).

My pick? Tiger’s Eye, a deep brown.

Stila’s Kajal Eye Liners are $18 a pop and available at Sephora.

  12. Hi Auntie!! I love me some Stila. Especially their lippies. But would you believe I haven't even tried their liners yet? Now WTF have I been doin' with my life?

  13. Eighteen bucks for an eye liner??? All I can say is, bring on the 99-cent pencils from Wal-Mart or Walgreen's.

  14. This sounds like something I need; I hardly ever wear eye liner because it invariably ends up under my eyes by the end of the day. I see it's on Amazon... And to think I was just getting my Amazon habit under control!
