CLIO Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner

Woohoo! Sexy Lee Hyori is back! CLIO introduced their revolutionary eyeliner Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner recently to Singapore.

This all new Pencil Gel Liner has the consistency, smoothness and staying power allowing you to create the perfect defined eye. With the siliconic cross polymer, the liner not only glides on easier than normal pencil eye liners, it also has the shine just like Lee Hyori in the picture above. 

"Gelpresso pencils are so easy to use and glide on with such ease. This is really is my new favourite eyeliner. Many women tend to shy awat from bright coloured liners because they make such a bold statement. We should counter that fear and prove how attractive purple liners can be." --- CLIO brand ambassador Lee Hyori

The Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liners comes in 6 shades and sold a total of 100,000 pieces in its first week of sales!

CLIO are really sweet like Huney!

So I was at Ngee Ann City's Watsons checking out the new eyeliners with the promoter, trying every shade out and undecided to get which shade, was sulking home without getting. But guess what?! A few days later, CLIO surprised me with this amazing parcel!

 

I received the Star Purple and Metalic Silver Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liners and the shades are Amaze-Balls! Not only are the sparkly bits prominent, it stayed on the whole day under the sweltering weather. 

 

Psst, you can even use it as an eyeshadow, primer base or slightly smudge out the creamy eyeliner for a sexy intense smokey effect!

And with such amazing product, how can I not draw my eyes exactly the same like Lee Hyori right?!

How to achieve Gelpresso "Gelfly Eyes" - The intense sexy eye?

1. Apply pearl beige/gold toned eye shadow to your eyelids.
2. Using Gelpresso Star Purple, start by drawing on your water line. Now take Gelpresso Golden Black and draw a line just below your waterline, and draw a wing tip towards the end of both eyes.
3. Next, use Gelpresso Metallic Silver and highlight the corner of your eyes.
4. Smudge the area where you have drawn on the wing-tip effect for intense and glomorous butterfly eyes.

And as if the eyeliner is not enough to impress you, I bet the packaging will blow you away ~ At the back of the pencil, simply twist the colour tab when the pencil is getting short (it's retractable) and then pull out the end, reveal a sharpener to give the pencil its sharp tip for the thin eyeliner line. Isn't it just perfect?!

Head on down to Watsons to get yourself a Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner. It's retailing at SGD $18.90 each.

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney

[Makeup Tutorial] CLIO Professional

Yipee! CLIO Professional is finally here on Singapore shores! You can the collection in most of the Watsons stores.

Behind the brand's success is CLIO's muse and one of Korea's biggest stars, Lee Hyori! Being a trendsetter with a chic and sophisticated image, she brought in a successful sale of 50,000 pieces of pen liner sold in the 1st 2 weeks!

About CLIO

Conceived by a talented group of make-up artists in 1993, CLIO has established itself as one of the top make-up brands in Korea. With its fast growing community of die-hard fans, CLIO continues to innovatively adapt itself towards their consumers' wants and needs, changing up to 70 products a year!

As Singapore here can get really warm and we perspire easily, we girls are always constantly in search of a eyeliner that do no smudge, waterproof and long lasting. CLIO's high-flying eyeliner range gives us just that!

Recognized as the No. 1 eyeliner, CLIO's Kill Black Collection has broken records with 2.8 million pieces of their now famous Waterproof eyeliner in the last 3 years. Known as the must-have makeup item, Korean consumers are continuing to flock to stores in order to get a hold of this long lasting, smudge free eyeliner range!

"I have a secret product I use to create the perfect eye make-up. CLIO waterproof Pen Liner Kill Black is that secret! It enables me to create a defined eyeline without fuss. Thanks to this waterproof eyeliner, my eye make-uo can last the whole dat without smudging even under very hot lighting during my shoots. That's why I can skip applying lipstick but I always carry my Kill Black" -- Lee Hyori

Let me introduce the individual eyeliners...

WATERPROOF PEN LINER KILL BLACK (SGD 22.90)

This deep black intensity containing carbon black is long lasting, waterproof and smudge free. The easy to use pen tip helps you control how thick you draw on your eye liner and is also easily removable. 

My Review: I love how the pen liner is so easily controllable. I could even get my eyeline drawn when riding passage in my hubby's car. It dries almost instantly as it touches the skin and does not smudge even when I perspire! 

WATERPROOF BRUSH LINER KILL BLACK WITH MINI MASCARA (SGD 25.90)

For a long lasting look, CLIO's Waterproof Brush Liner & Mascara Kill Black offers a deep black intensity containing carbon black - a black pigment used in eyeliners and mascara. This waterproof mascara does not smudge and easily washes off without staining your eyelids.

My Review: I like the softness of the Brush Liner, but it is not solid black, I have to build the blackness up. But I love how thin your eyeline can be! It is not as easy to control as the Pen Liner, so not recommended for passengers in car. :)

Comparison of the Pen and Brush Liner. On left is the Pen Liner and on right is the Brush Liner. You can see how thin the line can be?

As for the Mascara, it is very lengthening but I find it not volumnizing enough for me. It is not stinging to the eyes, so I can even go as close to the lash line as possible!

GEL LINER & CAKE EYEBROW POT (SGD 27.90)

CLIO's Gel Liner and Cake Eyebrow Pot are both deliciously smooth and long wearing. Easy to apply, this waterproof gel liner gives you an intense black look without smudging. The eyebrow pot contains Vitamin E acetate that helps to protect the skin. The efficient dual brush has both sharp and oblique ends, allowing you to get the desired look each time. Comes in 4 gel liner shades: Black, Grey, Copper and Purple.

My Review: I love how CLIO makes the product compact. On the top lid, you get a mirror and eyebrow pot and on the bottom is the gel liner; even the brush is dual ended, making everything so easy to bring along.

The eyebrow pot together with the angled brush makes eyebrow filling so easy and the brown powder suits our Asian skin and hair colour perfectly. The gel liner glides on easily, makes it easier to create the eyeline shape that I want. It's not very black to my disappointment, but once you have a black eyeshadow powder to pat on top on it, it holds the eyeline perfectly.

WATERPROOF MASCARA KILL VOLUME (SGD 29.90)

With a flick of the brush, CLIO's Waterproof Mascara in the Kill Volume brings your lashes to life. With each application, visibly voluminous lashes emerge making them appear longer and thicker, thanks to the pore like particles found within the product.

My Review: The Mascara is very volumnizing, darkens and lengthens my lashes. It's like wearing falsies, I simply love it! This is a must get product!

EYE LOVE YOU SHAADOW PENCIL (SGD 16.90)

This dual functioning pencil gives you the chance to use it as an eyeliner as well as an eyeshadow giving your eyes a mystical metallic effect. With its smooth application, the no fading, no smudging and waterproof properties, your eyes will sparkle once they've felt the magic of Eye Love You Shadow Pencil.

Available in 8 funky shades, the Eye Love You Shadow Pencil is suited for every Skin Tone.

My Review: This is another of my favourite! The colour glides on super easily and the shade of blue that I got is so special, I can't seem to find it at any other brands.A must get, must try product. The lovely people of CLIO even included a sharpener in the box!
