Advantages: Rich, highly pigmented colours. Very well tolerated. Disadvantages: None.
I absolutely adore HelenaRubinstein makeup, and this is no exception.
These eye pencils come in several different colours (I have the black, brown, and violet), and they have just come up with a new "shimmering" line.
It has the appearence of a normal eye pencil, with golden embossed HR logo and a really nice golden metal capsule on top. Really classy and expensive looking.
The texture of both the black and brown pencils is very, very rich. It glides on, leaving loads of colour on. Very silky indeed - not at all like some other pencils that pull and irritate your skin.

--What does the promo say?--
"Dazzling Shine and Dewy Moisture. Inspired by the fascinating beauty of music hall showgirls dancing under the cabaret spotlights, HelenaRubinstein creates a new staging for your lips. A mesmerizing show of sparkles and glitter for truly dazzling lips."

The applicator provided is a synthetic brush rather than being a sponge, which I must admit I prefer. There is no information given on the bottle itself, with the exception of the HelenaRubinstein logo on the top of the lid and the shade colour on the bottom of the bottle.

Introduction
When friends came up to stay I?d planned to take them to Workington?s very own museum, the Helena Thompson museum. Hubby and I had already been several years ago with my parents on their first visit up to Workington, and it wasn?t the most exciting attraction I?ll admit. Things were made worse by my mum accosting the museum guide and talking for half an hour about the place being used as a wedding venue. Have no idea why since we were already married and wouldn't have wanted to get married there anyway!
It?s FREE and within easy walking distance of my house, with opportunities to visit pubs on the way back. However, my friends arrived later than anticipated, so the museum trip was cancelled.
A year later and my parents and family friends were staying with us ...
