Look at all of these wonderful Touch In SOL cosmetics that you could possibly win.

If you want to go from subtle to stunning in time for the holidays, Touch in SOL is simply a great way to do it.  The more of their unique products that I try, the more obsessed I am becoming over this Korean beauty brand like with the awesome new lot of cosmetics sent for this review and giveaway. 

Imagine the impression that you would make with bold, statement-making color along the base of your lashes.  With Style Neon Super Proof Gel Liners ($16) you can be the hit of that holiday party with your eyes lined in traditional black set off with some attention-grabbing electric blue Astral Ice, perhaps, for extra impact or another from among those four other bright shades.

These pencils are creamy, well pigmented and waterproof little gems that blend so easily due to their argan, jojoba, apricot, calendula, rose and olive oils.  They wear forever without smudging or fading.  In fact, the only way these pencils come off is with your makeup remover. To learn more and see swatches of the rest of this line’s shades, do read my earlier post.

To make your eyes even more dramatic, Touch in SOL’s mascaras are up to the task.  Their Paper Pusher mascara ($22) uses lighter paper fibers to lengthen lashes compared to traditional nylon fibers for the same purpose. Without the presence of parabens, sulfates or phthalates, one coat is enough to lengthen to keep it on the more natural side, two coats look more like false eye lashes.  However, these fibers are little hairs that can be irritating after a while if you have sensitive eyes or allergies like mine.

My preference is their Stretchex mascara formula ($22).  This product is amazing with how this stuff with its air polymer powder can build up lashes with its silk proteins.  Lashes look so much longer, fuller with some curl from its curved brush.  I had beautiful, full lashes that lasted all day in perfect shape without smudging. 

Pair a bright eyeliner like the Astral Ice with a trendy fuchsia like #03 Desire Fuchsia, a rosy tulip version of fuchsia in Touch in SOL Technicolor Lip & Cheek Tints ($22).  This tube has a sponge wand applicator and gives fantastic, lasting coverage in a formula that is enriched with mango seed butter and rosehip oil among its ingredients.  

You can get double duty out of these tints!   This is #03 Desire Fuchsia.

Just as pretty is the #04 Mystique Coral Technicolor Lip & Cheek Tint to give both lips and cheeks an exciting pop of red-pink color.  

#04 Mystique Coral

These Technicolor Lip & Cheek Tints provide flattering bold color for the lips. On the other hand, the color when you dab some on your cheeks to blend with your fingers does give a healthy sheer flush that you can always deepen if you are so inclined with  little more of the tint.

Last time, I tried Touch in SOL’s Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighter ($21) in #001 For Your Eyes Only, a matte pink.  This time I got to sample the two pearl shades of #004 Golden Eye (a gold pearl) and the #002 License to Kill (pink pearl).  These highlighter pens are fabulous finds for playing up the eyes or in helping give you a killer illuminating glow to cheekbones or wherever you want to brighten up on your face.  All you do is just twist this pen to release that beautiful shimmer to its sponge tip.

Starting on the left is  Brow Gellin Eyebrow Stylers in Rachel, then Monica followed by #03 Desire Fucshia and #04 Mystique Coral Technicolor Lip & Cheek Tints and ending with Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighters in #004 Golden Eye and #002 License to Kill on the right. 

Another new Touch in SOL product that I discovered was their Brow Gellin Eyebrow Styler ($22).  This is a pen with a gel-like texture that dries to a powder that features a built-in angled brush.  Simply twist it at one end to reveal the inner pot with color, then dip in the brush at the other. Swipe away the excess in the cap or tissue and just glide it on to shape and fill in your eyebrows.  This line comes in three shades  for light-to-medium blondes (Phoebe), dark-blonde to brunette (Rachel) and dark brunettes to black (Monica).  Monica was the deep brown umber shade I needed.

These Brow Gellin Eyebrow Stylers are waterproof, smudgeproof, sweatproof and stay on.  The only way to remove them are is with your eye makeup remover.  I tried a basic makeup remover that you just rinse off and it still wouldn’t budge.

With Touch in SOL, you have a lot of fun ways to express yourself. The cosmetics that I talked about are available at Sephora so make sure to check them out.  You might want to start with the Stretchex mascara because it is one of my favorites!

Review + Swatches: Take a Walk on the Wild Side With Touch in SOL Eye and Lip Products for Beautiful Definition!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Touch in SOL's Galactic Girl was my favorite bright shade.  The violet with brown really rocked the color in a sensational way.

Giving eyes and lips some dazzling glamour is easy when you find the right cosmetics to help with the task. With the products that I was sent from Korean beauty brand, Touch in SOL, I discovered how to give my features an exciting change through neon color and vivid definition.

Before I tried these wild colors on, I was a bit hesitant about Touch in SOL’s new Style Neon Super Proof Gel Eyeliners ($16) for their unconventional effect.  However, the fun was what came next once I started playing with these creamy, well-pigmented waterproof liners and experimenting with how to turn up the wattage of my eyes by combining colors or eye shadow for reinventing new looks.  

I found laying down a bold bright line as I did with their riveting violet Galatic Girl played up the color of my brown eyes even more than I expected.  You might say it brought them into beautiful focus.

The Astral Ice, an electric blue color, paired with shimmering champagne and bronze shadow gave my eyes an edgy update.   

Astral Ice is not for the shy.  This lively liner is meant to be noticed.

Not to be outdone was the way my eyes looked once I tried on Eclectic Electric, the teal pencil, which by the time I finished my makeup seemed to make my eyes look huge with what the brilliance of that color did to resize my eyes.  

Eclectic Electric is bold fun.  Wearing this liner brings out your playful, daring side.

Lights Out was a rich matte black that also applied effortlessly for a pencil due to its beneficial oils such as argan, apricot, calendula, jojoba seed, olive, and rose.  One other color is available in this line called Cosmic Carrot, a bright orange, but I did not get that one to test.   

Lights Out is classic, rich black that blends as easily as it glides on.

You should see the extra impact that is possible once you retrace over that dark black with one of these bright neon pencils alongside. The size of my eyes seemed to take on a new proportion with how that bit of wild color only brought more attention to the area.

For your viewing pleasure, I swatched the shades for you.  Starting on the left is  Red Chili One Second Vivid Lip Crayon followed by Lights Out, Eclectic Electric, Galactic Girl, and ending with Astral Ice Style Neon Super Proof Gel Eyeliners on the right.

These pencils stay put, despite rubbing your eyes or when it comes to taking them off.  You will need your eye makeup remover to get them to budge.  Soap and water or a rinseable cleanser just will not cut it.

I also was sent one of the Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighter ($21) pens for accentuating the brow area or other facial highlighting in #001 For Your Eyes Only, a matte pink.  This is one of those sponge-tipped pens that you twist to release the liquid that later turns into powder form.  The formula has argan, olive, and jojoba seed oils, which makes for smooth gliding.  As to shades, there are three other shades ranging from subtle in how it catches the light to full shimmer that I would have preferred for any highlighting.  

Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighter

The eye product that totally won my heart was Touch in SOL’s Stretchex Stretch Lash Effect Mascara ($22).  The formula is gentle, lightweight and amazing with how its air polymer powder manages to find and wrap around each lash to build them up without clumping or stiffness just by working that wonderful curved brush.  My lashes looked longer from its silk proteins, more lush, blacker, and even had some additional curl to them once I finished after just one coat.  Even after rubbing my eyes, I am happy to say no flaking or smudging.  

Stretchex really lengthens and adds ample volume!

The last product in my box was a One Second Vivid Lip Crayon ($16).  The one that I got was Hot Chili (bright red-orange), a highly-pigmented color that has a surprising amount of moisture for a satin matte finish crayon thanks to its phyto seed oil complex. There are three other shades in this line from Tulip Pink, Wild Tangerine to Yellow Bird.

This is me wearing Red Chili One Second Vivid Lip Crayon.

This was my first time using any products from Touch in SOL, but now I am hooked after this experience.  I plan on looking into the All in One Beauty Aid Cream next with the cold weather inching closer.  Have you tried this beauty brand yet?  Do check their products out, especially that Stretchex Mascara because I promise that you’ll love Touch in SOL!
