Jasmine Three Wishes Eyeliner Set Review and Swatches

Sephora Disney Jasmine Three Wishes Eyeliner in Gel, Liquid, and Pencil
If you were given three wishes, what would you wish for? For many cosmeholics having perfectly flawless lined eyes everyday is something we always wish for. In the second installment of the Reigning Beauties collection by Disney for Sephora, Jasmine's Three Wishes Eyeliner set is a great way to  experiment with different types of liner and looks and makes achieving a flawless look easy!

Included in Jasmine's Three Wishes Eyeliner set is one gel liner, one pencil liner, and one liquid liner. For the gel liner an angled brush is included. Unlike Vol. 1, Cinderella, Jasmine's collection did not contain any lipsticks. Since the culture of Jasmine and Aladdin, which is set in the fictional city of Agrabah, is more of a Persian or Arab decent,  there is a lot of emphases on the eyes. If you can recall in Disney Movie Aladdin, Jasmine has very dramatically lined eyes. While i think this set goes quite well with the movie and even the culture of the characters i would have loved to see a lipstick set. It could have included a rich red matte lipstick (like the one she is wearing in the photos below), a bright orange red like when she is in her garden with Rahja, a deep chocolate brown like when she is trying to seduce Jafar, or even a medium nude! But i guess these wouldn't go well for a spring palette (even when the shadows do)

The packaging of the Jasmine Three Wishes Eyeliner Set is a bright pink fuchsia. There is a gold designed border and the side features pop's of color with bright yellow and aqua flowers. The bar code features the genie. The top of this box features the quote uttered by the genie in the cave of wonders "Have a wish, or two, or three".

The liners:
Gel Liner-
First i want to address the packaging, it is a bit deceptive. While it looks like there is quite a bit of product this packaging has a false bottom. This liner only contains 0.19 oz. which i feel is a bit lacking considering the price range. The screw off cap features a golden lamp surrounded by a golden design. The glass that the gel is in is a frosted glass. The pencil is a simple black pencil with the name "Jasmine" engraved on it's side. The brush tip itself is a thin, semi-stiff, angled white brush. I feel this brush and gel gives good precision. This product glides on without streaking and stays thick (a comfortable thick). It allows the user to get creative and have very dramatic looking eyes. This liner lasted about 9 hours on the lid. Even slight rubbing only made this liner budge slightly. Use an oil based makeup remover or makeup remover pad to get this product fully off. I found rain did not remove this liner either. While it is still wet it can be smudged to create a smokey eye look.

Liquid Liner-
The packaging of this liner is pretty basic but also beautiful. A simple black matte tube with a screw off top which houses wand. The applicator is a brush applicator and has enough strands to create a thick lined look but also small enough to allow for precision. The bottom park of this tube features a genies lamp in gold surrounded by what looks like a golden net. This is all overlapped a glossy black net design. As for the quality of this liner, well this is where this product falls short. Averaged out, this product is about $14 ($42 for the set), which, in and of itself, is not all that bad, however, this product seems to me to have the same quality of one you could find in a drugstore. I found this a little disappointing. I was hoping for something a bit more higher grade. When i applied this liner it did go on opaque and non streaky but the applicator distributed excess liquid on both sides. I tried applying it on three other occasions and had the same issue. This product took about a minuet to dry fully. Until dry this product can be smudged but will not give a smokey look like the gel liner. This liner did stay put the longest. With vigorous rubbing this product was just about completely in tact and was a bit hard to remove with makeup remover. This liner is great for a dramatic cat eye look.

Pencil Liner:
This was the only product i was somewhat disappointed in. This short, thick, pencil features a golden gate design on a matte, black, background. The cap is clear and allows you to see the pencil. When applying this product (even lightly) the tip began to crumble. Once the tip was a bit nubby i was able to get a line. While this product did not tug on the skin and was not overly soft, it was a bit hard to get a precise line on the eye. I think this pencil would have been better suited as a thinner pencil. This liner was the only liner that showed fading rather fast (4 hours), came off quickly with water and slight rubbing. One rub and the product was removed. This product was very easy to remove with makeup remover. I did not find this product to smudge well. This product would be good for quick looks that will only be on a few hours. Good for thick, bold, lining.

Overall i think this set of eyeliners allows you to have a beautifully packaged item regardless of your liner preference. If you are looking for a smokey or precision liner use the gel liner, if you are looking for the thin line to last all day use the liquid liner and if you are looking for the thicker, bolder line for quick looks use the pencil liner. Overall quality is great while some remind me of drugstore. Decent for the price point of $42.You can find this piece at Sephora and Sephora.com.
