REVIEW! | Urban Decay Junkie 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil


UD's Junkie 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, described as a metallic teal shimmer with gold micro-sparkle, is $19.00 USD of WORTH IT.  The color is gorgeous and so unique.  Is it blue?  Is it green?  Is it sparkly?  Does it have the subtle intrigue of Ariel's tail?  Yes!  All of the above!  Junkie is one of the most interesting (and pigmented!) teals I've come across.  It glides on like Crisco.  No tugging, skipping, or swearing! ;)
The creamy consistency will have you fearing a mid-day case of the creasies chorus line, but you have nothing to fear with this bad boy!  I struggled to remove it (after a full day of wear on oily lids) armed with a Clarisonic, Olay Fresh Effects cleanser, and fierce determination.  Ok, ok, maybe fierce determination is a bit dramatic since truthfully, I just washed my face like I do every night.  I wasn't thinking this would be hard to remove as the usual one-two punch of a brush and cleanser removes most of my eye makeup.  Not this little champ!  I looked in the mirror and honestly?  It looked untouched!  My eyebrows shot up.  I was impressed!  I removed it easily with L'Oreal Clean Artiste Waterproof & Long-Wearing Eye Makeup Remover (AKA "the green one") and a cotton ball, so it isn't one of those products that has to be chiseled off.  But will it outlast April showers, summer humidity, autumn allergy eyes, and the dreaded "Wintry Mix"?  You best believe!
If you have watery eyes or just tend to tear up at heart-string tugging TV shows, books, and movies, you may want to check out a liner from this extensive color collection (40 shades!!!!!) because it's definitely waterproof!  
My Rating: A+
