This Or That: Colorbar I-Glide Pencils vs Faces Long Wear Pencils

It has always been a bone of contention whether the Colorbar I-Glide Pencils were the ones to go for or whether the Faces Long Wear pencils fare better. Of course both are dear to us beauty bloggers and to all beauty enthusiasts but seriously sometimes even I am at a loss at what I should really go for. Both ranges of pencils have similar shades and similar staying power even on oily lids, so getting confused between the two is an expected deal :)

Hence, I am trying to make an endeavor to make it easier for everyone of us to finally make a decision where these two pencils are concerned :)

Similarities

Property	Colorbar I-Glide & Faces Long Wear Pencils
Staying Power	They have similar staying power. They stay on for more than 8 hours easily.
Performance on Oily Lids	They both stay on and do not transfer or smudge on oily lids. I have super oily lids and I vouch for them both
Texture	Both are super smooth texture-wise and glide on like a dream!
Availability	With Faces stores open nationwide plus with the advent of various online beauty portals, availability of both is not an issue.
Ease of Removal	Both are waterproof but can easily removed with soap or makeup remover. No tugging, no scrubbing :)

Differences

Property	Colorbar I-Glide Pencils	Faces Long Wear Pencils
Price	They cost Rs. 375/- per pencil	They cost Rs.249/- per pencil
Quantity	Each pencils weighs 1.1 gms	Each pencil weighs 1.5 gms
Color Selection	Decent range of shades available	The range of shades available in this pencil is a tad bit more that those of the Colorbar ones :)

Verdict
Though the competition was really close, Faces Long Wear Pencils win by a slight margin mostly on the basis of the cost of the pencils :) Other than that it is super difficult to judge on the better pencil :)

What is your take on it?
