Good Day Everyone!
I have come up with a review of this brand called "Ikonic" which is available in Kryolan stores. Kryolan has very few stores around and they sell professional make-up. These eye pencils were just an unintentional buy and the reason I purchased them was because of this catchy explanation of the product, "Gel Eye Pencils". Yes, they are eye pencils and they are in GEL form! Plus it wasn't going to make a hole in my pocket as they are pretty low-priced.
Product: Ikonic Gel Eye Pencil.
Price: ₹180 for colored, ₹200 for black.
Shades in the review: Violet Gem, Gold Streak
10 other shades available.
Swatch:
Woohoos:
- They don't tug at all. Very very smooth application.
- Violet Gem stays put for 6+ hours on oily lids without a primer.
- They have gorge shades available!
- Amazing concept of gel eye pencils.
- Gold Streak is great for highlighting your inner corners or pairing with liquid liners to give a stylish effect.
- Ergonomically designed. It's easily identifiable as the cap of the pencil is the shade of the pencil.
- Comes off even with a simple cream.
- Since its buttery smooth, it becomes blunt only in one application (both eyes) and you have to sharpen again which is not only hygienic but also since it doesn't have an expiry date, it will get over soon. I don't like my products to stay for very long, anyway, that's just personal preference.
- They make you look dressy without looking done up thereby great for college/office going crowd.
Boos:
- They dry super fast on lids and then they just won't budge. Hence you cannot smudge them.
- Gold Streak gives a little wet feeling only on touching, therefore it smudges and doesn't stay for long without a primer. With primer, it will.
- Also, although Gold Streak is a pretty shade, it doesn't show up on my lid that well.
- Doesn't have an expiry date.
- Availability only at Kryolan stores.
- You have to sharpen a lot to get a fairly pointed edge, which wastes the product.
Verdict:For the price, its a mind blowing product. Don't underestimate this product thinking its unheard of. It's made by a German company and is legitimately sold by Kryolan. I am definitely buying ALL the 12 shades available keeping all the Boos listed at bay! If you get your hands on these products without a second thought, BUY THEM!I will surely repurchase this product.
Note:I do not prefer using colored eye pencils on my waterline. It's actually not safe. Hence, I cannot comment on its staying power on waterline.

Gorgeous colours! It's a shame about not being able to smudge though, that's probably my favourite part of eyeliner pencils. Sounds like a great product anyway though.
