Color Bucket Flash Pop Up Geller in (Top to Bottom) Green, Mint, Blue, and Purple

Hey guys, how's your week doing so far? The reviews and posts might be few and far in between in the coming days in preparation for the Holy Week next week. I need to be able to set aside some time for self-reflection. :)

Color Bucket Flash Pop Up Geller: Green, Pastel Mint, Bright Sky Blue, Sparkling Purple

I've got a treat for everyone today. This is a rare eyeliner review! I find liners tricky to swatch and photograph, not to mention the clean up afterwards. Man, getting off smudge-proof and water-proof eye makeup is the shizzz. My eyes are red from all the abuse. I'm quite pleased with myself to be able to do this post.

Since this would be the first time that I'll be reviewing this brand, I did some background searches about this Korean company:
Color Bucket brings to you the most amazing collection of beauty and skin care products around the globe. The vast product line by Color Bucket includes lip flash jams, hair crayons, eye sebums, lip sticks and much more. These wonderful and quirky products help you in easily pulling off the trendiest and bold looks you always wanted.

This brand is mostly known for their vibrant and colorful makeup, and I've seen bloggers review their hair chalks. I normally wouldn't give these colorful liners a second glance, just because these are too bold for my tastes but they were on sale on Luxola (I can't resist a bargain!) and so once again, I bought more than I should.

(L-R):  Sparkling Purple, Bright Sky Blue, Green, Pastel Mint

Features:
Waterproof and oil-proof
Easy to blend and can be used as an eye shadow

(L-R):  Sparkling Purple, Pastel Mint, Bright Sky Blue, Green

There were 10 shades available for this line but I chose Sparkling Purple, Pastel Mint, Bright Sky Blue, Green (other colors include: Black, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Pink, and Orange).

(Top) Sparkling Purple, (Bottom) Bright Sky Blue

Sparkling Purple - is a medium-dark purple with silver shimmers. The color applied smoothly and evenly with minimal tugging on the eyes. Virtually smudge- and water-proof after it sets. Lasted the whole day on me (8 hours).

(Top) Sparkling Purple, (Bottom) Bright Sky Blue

Bright Sky Blue - is a medium vibrant sky blue with matte finish. The color applied evenly but less smoothly compared to the purple one. It required a bit more work to be able to get the color on my eyes. Smudge- and water-proof and lasted about 6 hours on me before it faded a bit.

(Top) Green, (Bottom) Pastel Mint

Green - a medium-dark emerald green with silver shimmers. The texture is like the shimmery purple - smooth and creamy with very minimal tugging. Also lasted the whole day (8 hours) on me.

(Top) Green, (Bottom) Pastel Mint

Pastel Mint - a light mint green with a matte finish. The most dry of the four I've got, but still applied creamy and smooth. It required a bit more work to be able to get the color on my eyes. Smudge- and water-proof and lasted about 6 hours on me before it faded a bit.

Cons
- None

Sparkling Purple, Pastel Mint, Bright Sky Blue, and Green

Overall: These pencil liners offer great color pay-off. They live up to their smudge- and water-proof claim as it stayed on my oily lids the whole day with minimal fading. All four colors apply like a dream but I find that the shimmery shades (Sparkling Purple and Green) are more creamy and has more "give" compared to the matte, pastel shades. Having said that, I rarely see matte, pastel eyeliners in the market with this quality at an affordable price. These glide on my eyes readily; only one pass is needed to achieve an opaque color and more importantly, they lasted the whole day on me. I like these Color Bucket Flash Pop Up Gellers so much that I am really tempted to purchase other colors (Pink and Bronze) even at full price. I am going to wait for some sales though! *Watch out for some fun, colorful looks with these soon. :)
