The Elizabeth Arden Bold Eye Pencil comes in beautiful and colourful packaging that is representative of the New York in Bloom Limited Edition. I was pleasantly surprised by the chunkiness of the pencil as this was an indication that it would deliver on its promise to apply thick and vibrant colour in one easy swipe.

I applied the eye pencil onto my lower eye lines and as promised, one easy sweep was all it took to get some colour. However, I needed to re-apply the eyeliner to give me enough build-up for visible colour.

Another awesome surprise was the very handy sharpener that is perfect for the chunky pencil. Even though you can also use the eye pencil to colour your eyelid, when you need to use it as a liner, you can sharpen it using the perfectly useful sharpener.

As far as I can see, this eye pencil is no better than any other on the market and the most impressive thing about it is the sharpener.
