SHANY Multi-Use 30 Colors Chunky Pencil Set, Multi

I love these! I bought myself a set then when they got here, beautifully pigmented organized in the gorgeous display box, I wanted more for my daughters (so they don't "borrow" mine). Sadly I must have been too greedy because after putting 3 of these & 2 of the thinner eyeliner pencil sets into my cart & a set of 12 other Shany eyeliners that I almost messed up & bought with 1-click but I went back quickly & canceled & put them in my cart instead & the items all had a code to save 25% on 6 Shany products, & lower percents for fewer items. I finally chose all of the items I wanted & the code wasn't working. I tried to checkout 5 or 6 times stopping each time when the code wouldn't work (I've had this happen before then went back an hour later & had the code work so that's what I was expecting to happen). I got sidetracked by one kid then another & 3-4 hours later got back to my order only to find these were no longer in my cart but instead are "saved for later" and not currently for sale along with the other two sets of liner pencils. All I had to do was forget about the 25% off & finish the sale!I come back and check to see if they are back daily. I still hope to pick up some for my girls for Christmas (I always shop early! Helps keep from getting frustrated if things show up late)This set of pencils has 11 labled lip & the other 19 are labled eye pencils but all seem to be the same formula (& some eye colors look more like lip colors to me & some lip colors I've used on my eyes)..The colors go on well, like a soft crayon, & stay on.They blend well when first put on then they stay put.The colors that go on last! I have had issues with the lightest colors (white/platinum) not always showing up on me but that is when I put them on with some of the loose powders I bought from Shany (which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE! ) so maybe those products don't work well together.I ended up staying up late with kids one night & somehow not washing my makeup off until nearly 24hrs after putting it on & it stayed & looked good.I really do like these! I've used them as eyeliner on the waterline. They are great for adding a quick pop of color to your everyday look. Toss a cpl into your purse & use them to put your makeup on in the parking lot just before work if you wake up late & you'll still look beautiful as ever.And the price is crazy amazing! Even without % off specials & such!

So happy with this product. Beautiful colors. Feels good on the lips. Haven't used the eye shadow yet. Great quality for the price.

Let me start off by saying: DABBLE, DON'T SWIPE. I say this because the very first pencil I used broke off at the tip, rendering the rest of it pretty useless since these aren't retractable. I didn't throw it out because I realized I could still use it when I scraped some off with a nail file, added the crumbly bits to a q-tip, and applied it like that. (Someone said that you can sharpen these, which I haven't tried, but may update if that is the case.) Hence, my advice to new buyers is to try to lightly dabble the color on so as not to risk breaking the tips with pressure from swiping it across your eyelid. You'll still get plenty of color from them if you do.I was looking for some cheap eyeshadow pencils, since the ones at my local drugstore are about $5 each. The 30 pencils they give you with this set is essentially a money saving bundle for $25 or less (depending on your seller). I also enjoy the fact that a good portion of these have a metallic quality to the color, another feature I adore.Speaking of portions, there are some "lipstick" pencils, i.e. lip liners, included in the set that are not mentioned on the package, but specified in the item description on Amazon. My box had 11 lip pencils, not the 4 specified in the item description. I'm not exactly complaining, but I wonder if this is normal, or if the factory ran out of eyeshadow and had to scramble to find some extra lip pencils to fill the spaces.One other thing: the gold eyeshadow pencil in my box had a small clear plastic bead lodged in its cap. Perhaps some improvements on quality control is needed?

I loved the idea of all these colors and didn’t expect perfection…but I did expect them to be able to glide on a lot better and for a color as common and useful as a metallic gold to actually show up on my eyelid after scraping the crap out of it. None of the colors are true to what you’re shown even looking at the pencil itself. I do like the lip pencils a bit better. They’re creamier. I was just disappointed in general after finding so many wonderful new makeup products that are even cheaper than all those were.
