Shu Uemura's "Drawing Pencil"

Did you know L'Oreal owns Shu Uemura? I only found out during my trip to the L'Oreal sale. If you live in Montreal, you know that twice a year L'Oreal holds an invitation only warehouse sale. This spring, the sale had added a tiny Shu Uemura table. Among the selection I found their "Drawing Pencil" in lilac.

I hesitated picking it up because I was worried it would be too bold for my fair skin. But it is actually quite soft.

Its a nice change from my usual brown eyeliner, but one can only tell the colour from up close. Would I have picked it up knowing its effect? Sadly, no. The pencil was $26, and personally I don't think the colour payoff is worth it. Sorry Shu Uemura! I am still open to trying more of their products though!
