Review: Zosimos Botanicals Eyeliner Pencil

Eyeliner pencils are easy to find, but most natural versions contain beeswax. When looking for a vegan eyeliner, I tend to be quite picky. I like a pencil that comes in a range of colors, is not too hard and not too soft, and will last at least eight hours. Zosimos Botanicals makes a great eyeliner pencil that has earned my seal of approval.


Pros:
  • Come in a broad range of colors
  • Stays on through a workday (about 8-10 hours)
  • Simple and safe ingredients
  • No beeswax
  • Great consistency
  • Won't break when sharpening
  • Pencil will last through many uses (I sharpened it once a week)
  • Comes in a range of colors
Cons:
  • Hard to find in stores
Summary:
Zosimos Botanicals eyeliner pencils are a great natural alternative to many long-lasting pencils. It's great to see a pencil that not only performs well, but also comes in a great range of dark, natural colors. The pencils are also durable and come in minimal packaging. I would love to see this handcrafted cosmetic line expand their reach into more retail locations.
