DollyWink and Heroine Make Liquid Eyeliners Comparative Review

Hello lovelies! Today I'm going to review and compare two Japanese drugstore eyeliners, DollyWink Deep Black and Heroine Make Kiss Me Black liquid eyeliners.
in their original packaging, both are available at Sasa.com, prices online are a bit higher than   the Sasa outlets in Hong Kong, but still very reasonable as these are drugstore brands.

same tube size, obviously, I like the DollyWink packaging much better because it's cuter (hello, there's a bow!) and easier to spot in my stash than the Heroine Make's dark tube.

both have very thin tips, but the difference will be seen on the swatch, as seen on the photo below:
top left and right: Dollywink
bottom left and right: Heroine Make Kiss Me

As you can see, DollyWink gives a thinner line while the Heroine Make can give a thicker, bolder line. If its good or bad, will depend on your personal preference. They both have dark pigmentation and both liquid liners dry very fast, and when they do, they won't smudge and budge throughout the day as they're both waterproof but can be easily removed with plain soap as I did with the swatches. When it comes application, I find the DollyWink to be easier to use since the tip is a bit softer than the Heroine Make.

SUMMARY:
PACKAGING: DollyWink > Heroine Make Kiss Me
PRICE: DollyWink USD12.50 > Heroine Make Kiss Me USD11.40
PIGMENTATION: DollyWink = Heroine Make Kiss Me
EASE OF USE: DollyWink > Heroine Make Kiss Me
STAYING POWER: DollyWink = Heroine Make Kiss Me

I hope this helps those who are trying to decide which one to get! Honestly, they're almost the same, but the one I will repurchase is DollyWink even if its a couple of dollars pricier. You just can't beat ease of use especially if you're a liquid liner noob like me. :P

Thank you for reading!
♡,
G

    Great comparison and review, G. I haven't tried both since I love gel liners and I'm now too lazy to apply liners but if I want a liquid one, I'll keep these two in mind. :)

    Great review! I really like my K-Palette eyeliner but the Dolly Wink one looks interesting. You pointed out that the staying power between the Dolly Wink and Heroine Make are equal and that they are waterproof. How easily is it to remove?

    LOL @ liquid liner noob - I don't believe that at all!!!!!!

    I prefer Kate's Super Sharp Liner to DW's, the tip isn't as long, which makes it easier to line (I guess haha) and more precise too.. the only thing is, it is SOOOOOOOO hard to remove =[

    I was about to buy the Heroine Make Kiss Me one but didn't *sigh*
    My sister in law used the Dolly Wink one but asking her for an opinion on which one to choose would be futile as she only bought the dolly wink one because it is cute..haha..
    you know what, the strange thing is, if i'm not mistaken, both of these liquid liners are the of the same price here in Sasa malaysia...0__0 no fair!

    It *was* loud. My poor dog ran underneath the bed. T_T I dressed like a bum in college. I think I may be making up for that. ;) Sure. In the meantime, I have a lovely photo of myself wearing jeans and t-shirt in my last post...haha!

    Oh, before I forget again...I know Mikey got too dark for a while there, but I did let him have another fun episode--in a weird way. If you're ever bored, that post was in November and called Alternate Universe. =)
