Boots No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in Blue/Grey Review


“Accentuate and frame the eyes with this silky-smooth and easy-to-use pencil.

The Boots No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil is a dual pencil liner with a smudge tool on the other end.  At $6.99 you get 0.03 fl oz. of products with availability in eight different colors: Aubergine, Black, Blue/Grey, Bronze, Brown, Chrome, Leaf, and Olive. You can purchase it online at Boots Website or Drugstore.com.

Product Claims:  The creamy wax and Vitamin C formula allows for a smooth application without dragging the delicate eye area.

I was not a fan of eye pencils until I got the Amazing Eyes Pencil. It’s a regular sized eye pencil. I had such a hard time removing the plastic from the pencil that I was afraid it was going to break. So, I guess that may be a good thing since there won’t be a possibility of anyone purchasing a used eye pencil. Gross.

Since I wasn’t a fan of eye pencils, I hardly used them. Not this time. The application was so smooth. I had no problems applying the product on my lid and it did not tug at my eyes at all. It was like slicing butter with a hot knife. The smudger brush was really fun to use to create a smokey effect. To be honest, this is my first time using one.

This pencil is a Blue/Grey color with subtle multicolor shimmer in it. It’s very creamy due to the Vitamin E, which gives you the ability to glide it over your eye with very little effort. It’s also hypo-allergenic which is great if you have sensitive skin and suffer from allergies. I can’t recall how long I wore it but it has long lasting power and lasts for several hours without fading or smudging. I would definitely buy this product again and would love to try it in Bronze.

Pros: Easy to apply, blendable, smooth application, long lasting, hypoallergenic, easy removal

Cons:  N/A

Ingredient List: Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Capric/Caprylic Stearic Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Rhus Succedanea (Fruit wax), Talc, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), May Contain (+/-): (Iron Oxides), CI 77499 (Iron Oxides)
