從箱底冷宮到二度回購：我的內眼線救星
有留意我 YouTube 頻道嘅話，應該記得我以前推薦過 Hourglass 嗰支 1.5mm 超幼細眼線筆。不過，嗰支 1.5mm 實在太容易折斷，每次斷咗我都覺得有啲煩，最後就決定放棄唔再買。
轉用呢支 Hourglass Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner (防水眼線膠筆) 之後，佢竟然成為咗我少數會用完一支、然後再買第二支嘅眼線產品！大家都知我屋企最唔缺嘅就係眼線筆（笑），可以令我買完又買，絕對係有佢嘅實力。
今日就同大家分享下呢支眼線筆由一開始被我「打入冷宮」到最後變成「每日必備」嘅曲折過程。
一波三折的磨合期 (THE TRIAL PHASE)
其實我同佢嘅起步並唔順利。
啱啱買返嚟嘅時候，我將佢畫喺內眼線位置，過咗一整日之後，我發現隻眼會覺得有啲酸澀、唔太舒服。試咗兩三次都係咁，我就無奈地將佢放返入櫃桶，基本上當佢係「閒置品」。
過咗幾個月，我心思思攞返佢出嚟用。神奇嘅係，之前嘅酸澀感竟然完全消失咗！自此之後，佢就成為我畫內眼線嘅不二之選。
質地與妝效：終極啞緻深黑、不易溶妝 (TEXTURE & FINISH)
我入手嘅色號係 Obsidian – Black (Matte)，係一個非常純粹、極之飽滿嘅啞緻深黑色。
佢非常順滑容易畫，輕輕一筆就已經足夠顯色。因為我嘅眼水比較多，好多眼線筆畫內眼線都好容易因為眼水而溶到下眼位黑晒。但呢支 Hourglass 表現好優秀，即使畫喺最貼近眼球嘅內眼線，佢都可以頂得住眼水，完全無溶妝，對眼即刻變得好精靈、有神采，成個人望落精神晒。
Hourglass 防水眼線膠筆表現拆解 (THE BREAKDOWN)
| 評分項目 | 表現 | Hakme 評語 |
|---|---|---|
| 飽滿顯色度 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 極之飽滿嘅啞緻深黑色，提神效果滿分。 |
| 畫筆流暢度 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 筆芯軟硬度適中，非常好畫，而且比 1.5mm 版本堅固，不易折斷。 |
| 抗水抗淚能力 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 內眼線嘅防暈染效果極佳，即使眼水多嘅人都能輕鬆駕馭。 |
| 控油表現 | ❓❓❓ | 我本身眼周肌膚不偏油。如果眼皮極易出油嘅話，持妝度可能會有所不同。 |
結論：你應該入手嗎？(THE VERDICT)
老實講，我本身眼周皮膚唔算多油，所以如果你係屬於「油眼皮」，我唔敢保證佢喺你身上會完全唔暈染。
但如果你正喺度尋覓一支極致深黑、筆芯好畫，而且眼水多都唔會輕易溶妝嘅眼線膠筆，我好建議你試下呢支。
雖然佢喺香港冇官方網站，但大家可以去專櫃睇下。佢哋仲有其他顏色可以選擇，大家可以親自去試下質地。
【ENGLISH VERSION】HOURGLASS VOYEUR WATERPROOF GEL EYELINER: MY ULTIMATE REPURCHASED TIGHTLINER
If you have been following my YouTube channel, you might remember that I previously recommended the Hourglass 1.5mm eyeliner. However, that 1.5mm pen was incredibly easy to break. It became quite frustrating every time it snapped, so I eventually decided to stop buying it.
When I switched to this Hourglass Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner, it surprisingly became one of the very few eyeliner products that I completely finished and actually bought a second one! You all know I am certainly not short of eyeliners at home (LOL). For a product to make me repurchase it, it truly has to have some serious capability.
Today, I want to share the rocky journey of how this eyeliner went from being “banished to the cold palace” (my drawer) to becoming my daily essential.
A ROCKY START (THE TRIAL PHASE)
My journey with this eyeliner didn’t actually start off smoothly.
When I first bought it, I used it to tightline my eyes. However, after wearing it for a full day, my eyes felt a bit sour and uncomfortable. I tried it a few more times with the exact same result, so I reluctantly put it away in a drawer, basically treating it as an idle item.
A few months later, I had the urge to take it out and try it again. Miraculously, that sour feeling completely vanished! Ever since then, it has become my absolute go-to choice for tightlining.
TEXTURE & FINISH: ULTIMATE MATTE BLACK & SMUDGE-PROOF (TEXTURE & FINISH)
I got the shade Obsidian – Black (Matte), which is an extremely pure, incredibly rich, matte deep black.
It glides on very smoothly and is so easy to draw with; a light stroke is all you need for full pigmentation. Because my eyes are quite watery, many eyeliners easily melt and smudge my lower lash line when used for tightlining. But this Hourglass eyeliner performs exceptionally well. Even when applied right on the waterline, it withstands my watery eyes without melting at all. My eyes instantly look sharper and more radiant, making my whole face look much more awake.
PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN (THE BREAKDOWN)
| Feature | Rating | Hakme’s Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Pigmentation | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | An extremely rich, matte deep black. The awakening effect is a 10/10. |
| Application Flow | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | The core is the perfect firmness. It’s very easy to draw and much sturdier than the 1.5mm version, so it doesn’t break easily. |
| Water & Tear Resistance | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Excellent smudge-proof performance for tightlining. Very easy to handle even for watery eyes. |
| Oil Resistance | ❓❓❓ | My eye area is not particularly oily. If you have very oily eyelids, the longevity might be different for you. |
CONCLUSION: SHOULD YOU BUY IT? (THE VERDICT)
To be honest, the skin around my eyes isn’t very oily, so if you have “oily eyelids,” I cannot guarantee that it won’t smudge on you at all.
But if you are currently looking for a gel eyeliner that is extremely deep black, easy to draw with, and won’t easily melt even if you have watery eyes, I highly recommend you give this one a try.
Although they don’t have an official website in Hong Kong, you can check it out at their beauty counters. They have other colors available for you to choose from, so you can personally test the texture yourself.
