3CE Super Slim Pen Eyeliner Review
STYLENANDA's 3CE is very hard to come by in Australia when you want to purchase from a physical store as it is only officially retailed at Sephora or scattered Korean beauty stores that usually don't sell a lot of 3CE. The Super Slim Pen Eyeliner series comes in 4 colours: Black, Light Brown, Brown and Burgundy Brown. I purchased the light brown coloured eyeliner. On STYLENANDA's website, only Black and Brown are available, most likely because light brown and burgundy brown did not perform as well in the market. The packaging and product design for the eyeliner is very sleek and aesthetic but surprisingly the eyeliner itself is awkwardly small which I guess would be handy for keeping in handbags or purses and on the go.
Product Description
The 3CE Super Slim Pen Eyeliner is designed with a thin, defined brush tip that can be used for neat and precise liner application. It creates strokes that range from fine and slim to bold and daring so you can achieve both simple and dramatic looks. The product claims it contains a long-lasting formula that stays put for several hours it is also easily washable so there's no need for a makeup remover, just wash off with lukewarm water for a clean and clear finish and it is also quick drying therefore preventing smudging or flaking.
It is currently retailed in Sephora for $24 AUD and $14 USD on STYLENANDA.
Colour
The colour is much lighter than I had initially expected so I had to reapply it several times for the colour to show more dominantly. The light brown would be cute and natural to use for toned down looks in everyday lifestyles such as school as it isn't very eye-catching.

Application and Durability
The eyeliner is very smooth to apply and easy to control as most liquid liners are. The product does also dry quickly and doesn’t smudge or flake as promised and the formula itself is long-lasting. Overall I am very pleased with its application and durability.
Removal
Sadly the product description did not live up to it's name for me with the 'Easily washable for a perfect finish - no need for a makeup remover, just wash off with lukewarm water for a clean and clear finish'. Though most of the eyeliner can be removed with lukewarm water, it does leave a faint grey mark behind (as shown in the picture below). But with any eyeliner, makeup remover is the easiest way to go.
Conclusion
In conclusion, STYLENANDA's 3CE Super Slim Pen Eyeliner is extremely worth despite the awkward sizing of the eyeliner itself. It's smooth application, long-lasting formula and ease of buildup of colour from extremely light to a medium-dark brown. I give this eyeliner a 5/5!
