CHIC CHOC Magical Shiny Eye Pencil EX02

Chic Choc is a line of cosmetics by Kanebo known for its eyeliners. 
There are many shades to choose from this line, from basic matte and shimmery blacks, browns, and grays to brighter colors such as pink, aqua, blue, violet, and even silver.
The shade featured here is EX02, a pale champagne pink that shimmers. It applies with medium smoothness, not buttery soft or rock hard that it pulls against the lids. While EX02 does not smudge, I find this shade just blends in the skin and does not really show up when applied as a regular liner on the upper lids. It is best used on the inner rims, but even there it is kind of dull and does not improve any eye makeup look. It does not show up on my NC20 skin very well. Perhaps this shade would suit paler skin tones better.
Having also tried the shimmery brown from this line which smudged and resulted to brown panda eyes, I think Chic Choc can do something to improve their formula. However there is also a glittery gray that is my favorite among the three but it is not pictured because I have given it to my sister who would find more use for it. It is a great silvery gray that can be used to line the lower rims and gives off a special sexy kind of effect. 

Oddly, Chic Choc (to my knowledge) can't be found in Japan, however it is sold in Taiwan.
