Lancome Eyebrown Pencil and Eyeliner Haul

Speaking of nice parcel surprise, I have been waiting for my Lancome order for quite some time. Delivery is a bit slow, takes about 3 weeks to reach me. I ordered before Christmas and just receive my parcel today. Parcel's return address is in Zurich! That's Switzerland..wow far...maybe that is why it takes so long to get here.. ha..
See how creamy the white eyeliner is? This is the second time I am using Lancome eyebrown pencil. I have been using Mac and Shu Umera and they both last a lifetime. I bought this since it was really cheap online like $16 which usually cost more. Mac probably cost about $28 and Shu Umera, $35 if I didn't get the price wrongly. Shu Umera is definitely more expensive and personally I love Shu Umera best! The texture is dry and yet it fills every gap in between the hairs and it doesn't look harsh. Lancome is a bit creamier than Shu Umera and as my face gets a bit oily and I prefer something that is really dry. So for the Lancome one, I would still use it but maybe I would powder my brow area a bit heavier before drawing my brows lightly. And Lancome's eyebrown pencil comes with a brush at the other end which I can use it to spread the colour more evenly.
Overall: It is still good but not as crazily in love as Shu Umera's.

The Eyeliner has been my all time favourite so I am purchasing it again and I got it really cheap, for like only $6?!! There are both genuine staff and perhaps it was on a clearance sale.
