Recently the unthinkable happened. I had no gel liner left
at all! *Faints* Everything had dried up and been thrown away so on the recommendation
of my friend Vicky (check out her craft blog here) I picked up this from Boots for £7.99. I was
pleased to see this actually came with a good quality brush, it’s not entirely dissimilar
to the No7 liner brushes.
The frosted glass jar looks great. The brush performs very
well too, used on its side you can create a thin line and you can use the
flatter side to apply it onto the waterline as well. The formula is somewhat wet
initially, it feels a loft softer and creamier than the ELF Studio Cream liner
for example, but it sets down to a satin matte finish that does not move. The formula
is very easy to work with and it doesn’t drag or skip across the skin at all.It's a deeper black than it appears in the swatches below, not sure what happened there!
Once it has set it lasts all day for me on the top lashline.
On the waterline it’s equally impressive, I get about 6-7 hours on the
waterline which on my watery eyes is a very impressive feat. I’m very pleased
that I went with this liner as I had been thinking about getting a Bobbi Brown
or MAC version but this performs exceptionally well and is substantially more
purse friendly as well. And I get a bonus liner brush to boot! X
*Bought by me*
Nice review. If I didn't have so many liners that needed using up first, I'd give this a go certainly
ReplyDeleteI was gutted that mine dried up :( Serves me right for not just using one at a time and finishing it! x
DeleteI've been loving this liner as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat review :)
Thank Becky :-) Glad it's working for you too! x
DeleteGlad you liked it. I've been using this for a while since I feel I look ill without eyeliner. Weirdly I have about a third of the pot left, not dried out yet.:)
ReplyDeleteI think I look like a mole without eyeliner on. Sexy. Glad it doesn't dry out too quickly, I never finish a full pot! x
Deletemaybelline is great for eyes!!! I have loads of their mascara...but I'm liking the look of liner for winter...
ReplyDeleteDo you recommend any of their mascaras in particular? I don't think I've tried any of theirs actually! x
