When it comes to makeup, we’re with Kermit: It’s not easy being green. But Inika, a cosmetics range that’s as rigorously au naturel as it is au courant, makes being eco-friendly downright effortless. We’re smitten with the brand’s certified organic eyeliners, which come in rich, long-lasting colors and deliver guilt-free drama. Bonus: The lid doubles as a sharpener.
The sample I received was "Green Lagoon." Unsure if I would like this color at first because I haven't used green eye liners very often, but was happily surprised by this color. I used this liner with the "Aspen Pine" shadow crayon I received and they worked really well together - almost a subtle 80's vibe, which was awesome! I also loved that it came with an attached sharpener, which not many liners do! Overall, really loved this eye liner!
5I was disappointed to see green, it seemed a bit garish, but I tried it. It looked phenomenal smudged up a bit! Very subtle. Instead of screaming "Green liner!" it just added brightness. The formula goes on beautifully, as well. I'll definitely be looking to replace my current colors with this brand when they run out.
I recently became more conscious about the ingredients in my beauty products, especially ones that I use on my face. My old eyeliner had parabens in it, and so I was on the hunt for something with a more natural formula. I came across this on the Birchbox website and decided to give it a try. It's great! My eyelids are a little oily, but I apply primer before eyeliner and it stays put all day. The little sharpener it comes with is handy, too. The price is much more than what I paid for my old eyeliner, but the peace of mind that I get using a well formulated product daily in an area as sensitive as my eyes is totally worth it!
