The first time I saw chromagraphic pencils was I think last year, it came out with Pret-a-papier collection, I was very much intigued because it is multipurpose, meaning you can use this as an eyeliner (this instead of a white/black liner on waterline) and as a concealer. I tried using it both ways. So when I saw MAC's Chromographic pencil, I just thought that it would look subtle and pretty on the waterline. I know I should be happy because I wont need to buy this again but looking at how cute it is, makes me want to buy it still :p I look more airbrushed and my application is more even when I use my cheap sponge. no Im not exaggerating, it’s just the way it is. But what Im most disappointed about is that my 35 pesos sponge works and applies wayyy better. True that using this will leave no streaks and blending is quite easy but I find that it applies the foundation so sheer and it eats so much of my foundation (liquid) I had to use like 2 or 3 pumps for my whole face to give me enough coverage. I tried using this in applying cream, and liquid foundations. I tried a lot of ways to use this (like wet and dry) but the result is always the same. But then, to my disappointment, it did not. I mean $20 for a sponge?!! Well if the claims are true, why not? If it could cut my makeup application time and would make me look flawless and airbrushed then I would gladly shell out money for that. I was so excited to get this because of all the hype. Why? Well, simply because I’m quite disappointed.

All I can say is, Im glad I didn’t have to pay that much for it. I had the chance to try this little cutie without having to pay for the regular price.
