little white truths

We received this black eyeliner in October 2014's Lust Have It Women's Box.

Bored as I am with black eyeliners (we've received too many from LHI and I prefer brown ones because they look more natural), Inika is a decent brand and I was happy to give this a go.

If you don't know anything about Inika, essentially the brand creates certified organic makeup that's also vegan, halal and cruelty-free. For more information, see Inika's website.
Inika claims/product details:

• Handcrafted 
• Contains natural plant ingredients and mineral colour blends
• Comes with an in-built sharpener
• Soft, creamy texture that wears all day without smudging
• Certified organic, vegan, halal and cruelty-free
• RRP $29 for 1.2g
• Shelf-life after opening: 36 months

See swatch above. On the left I gave it a good wipe, which did remove some of the product, but fortunately this didn't transfer on my eyes (see below).


I'm really surprised that this stayed put to be honest: it's so hard for me to find eyeliners that don't immediately transfer themselves as soon as I blink because I have puffy eyes. You would normally see a line appear above my eyes straight away, but this one hasn't moved. Huzzah!

Below I've applied it to the waterline. It doesn't adhere super well there, so you don't get a really pronounced line - but I actually prefer that because it looks more natural.
