Is it makeup or a marker?
Or a little bit of both?
[INSERT CARTOONY DOUBLE TAKE HERE]
These Double Take Eye Marker and Creme Eyeshadows ($9.98 each) by cruelty-free drugstore brand Flower Beauty are dual-ended eyeshadow/liner pens, and since I have a thing for makeup that looks like something you’d find in a steno store, I wanted to give ’em a try.
They’re $9.99 each and have a cream shadow with a doe-foot applicator on one side and a liquid liner with a chunky-monkey felt tip on the other.
I’ve started using these for hurry-up-and-go eye makeup. I swipe a small amount of the cream shadow on bare lids with the doe foot, and mellow out the edges with a finger. Then I line my upper lash lines with the marker.
Since the shadows are super sheer, they don’t require much blending.
Oh, and FYI — the shadows seem to dry out quickly, so don’t forget to close them good and tight (might also want to keep your receipt, just in case).
Poolside Kiss has a sheer mossy green eyeshadow on one end and a jet black liner on the other. Lovely Lilac has the same black liner, but pairs it with a purply taupe shadow on the other end.
There’s also an additional shade not shown here called Steel a Kiss (love that name), a dark purple, which you can check out at Walmart stores and online.

September 18th, 2014 at 7:29 amI have a couple Flower products (powder foundation, lip gloss, lipsticks, the lip butters) and would like to explore the brand more- I wish they would come out with more colors and collections! This eye product does not catch my eye so much, but I hope Drew comes out with more stuff soon.

September 18th, 2014 at 2:43 pmThe eyeshadows look like they could be a little better but the liner part looks pretty decent. I love the concept but I wish they would have made the shadows more pigmented. That would have been great!

September 18th, 2014 at 4:21 pmI really like the concept of this product. I’d probably prefer a stick shadow on one end instead of the cream shadow with the wand applicator.
