LOTD / Review: The Rose of Versailles - Princess Antoinette Liquid Eyeliner (Dark Brown)

[Haraju-Cute Box - Japan Cosme #1]

While there are many different brands of black liquid eyeliners, brown ones are pretty scarce. That's probably why I was particularly drawn to this liquid eyeliner by The Rose of Versailles

The Rose of Versailles - Princess Antoinette Liquid Eyeliner (Dark Brown) is exclusively available at Haraju-Cute counters at selected Guardian stores.

Retail price: $24.90

It is interesting to know that the liquid eyeliner contains moisturizing agents like lipidure, wild rose essence and rose water. And, the bottle is specially adopted for use till the last drop. 

As seen, no fanciful packaging (dark brown body with gold wordings and rose motif). I like the simplicity. 

It has a 0.1mm ultra thin brush tip, which makes it easy to draw thinly and precisely. For fresher color, do shake lightly before application.

The brush tip is soft, which is gentle on the delicate skin of the eye area. However, it applies on smoothly though it feels slightly ticklish. Fret not, it does not irritate at all.

It is easy to control the thickness, according to your mood/preference. If you want greater intensity, just layer on. 

I usually like to line my eyes rather thickly. This time, I draw thinly to show how precise this liquid eyeliner can be.

I even draw bottom lashes... very impressed with how "natural" they look! I've tried that with black liquid eyeliner, but the result was too harsh for my liking. Trust me, dark brown is a better choice.

The LOTD photos were taken after a day out. The liquid eyeliner is said to be super waterproof and smudge-free. True enough, it does not fade, flake, smudge or budge the whole day. It is removed easily using eye makeup remover. 

For your reference, these are the products I used.

  • Skinfood Good Afternoon Rose Lemon Tea BB Cream
  • Lunasol Aurorized Eyes EX01 Sheer Gold Beige Brown
  • The Body Shop All-In-One Cheek Color 01 Macaroon
  • Paul & Joe Pressed Powder N 03
  • Chanel Illusion d’Ombre Long-Wear Luminous Eyeshadow 83 Illusoire\
  • MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2 Lipglass
  • Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus BR666

  • The Rose of Versailles - Princess Antoinette Liquid Eyeliner (Dark Brown)
  • Kose Esprique Precious Dual Lip Pencil 
  • Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil

*Note: Products highlighted are provided by beauty companies. 

 

From far, the drawn bottom lashes can almost be mistaken for real. 

That's all for now. Thank you for reading!
