Hi everyone, so I'm here today to review my beloved new eyeliner that I bought with the intention to use it as my daily eyeliner, but I have figured it's probably not all that practical for that. I'm still on the hunt for an easy to apply, simple, black, pigmented eyeliner that isn't too expensive so if you know any, please leave me a suggestion on any of my Instagram posts or as a comment below! 

The eyeliner comes with a 2.6g jar of gel, and a "high precision brush" to apply the product with. It's around $25 at Priceline. I should mention that following applying the gel to your eyelids, the product doesn't dry straight away which gives you time to fix up any mistakes you may have made, which I like in a product.

Review:
I'm highly impressed by this eyeliner. Below I will critique the information of the product mentioned on the back of the box.

Color Result: As the back of the box claims, the long lasting waterproof gel eyeliner does indeed have an intense colour result. It's black, probably not to the extent of Rimmel's "Exaggerate Liner" for example, but it's still a dark shade.

It also claims to last 24 hours. I can vouch by saying that I have worn it for around 12 hours and it's still looked amazing by the end of the day, so it's lasting power is pretty darn good.

High precision brush that is provided: 

As you will see below, it's virtually impossible to draw a sharp wing with this brush as it's too big and rounded. If you don't mind not having a crisp wing then the brush shouldn't bother you but I seem to often make mistakes or smudge the product when drawing the wing (you can notice this in the photos of my eyes below - woops). However, I've found it easy to apply the product to the rest of the eyelid using the brush. (Does anyone know any affordable gel eyeliner brushes to recommend me as well?)



Waterproof/Smudgeproof: When wearing the product I splashed my face with generous amounts of water and impressively, it didn't come off or smudge. Despite saying that, when I proceeded to rub my eyes with water, the product did smudge and became patchy, so I would say it is waterproof but not if you're going to be aggressively rubbing your eyes with water. But who really does that anyway?

The gel is also smudge-proof if you aren't rubbing it with water, so you never need to worry about looking like a raccoon if you scratch your eye a couple times.

Easy to remove with eye make up remover: I use a waterproof eye make-up remover by Nivea which seems to do the trick since it's reasonably difficult to take it off using my normal make-up remover.

In summary:

Pros:
  • Pigmented
  • Doesn't dry on your eyelid straight away so you have time to alter your mistakes etc.
  • Comes with a brush
  • Gel is easy to apply (glides onto your eyelid seamlessly)
  • Nice packaging
  • Waterproof 
  • Smudge-proof
  • Lasts all day

Cons:

  • The brush provided is too big and rounded to draw accurate wings
  • Gel will smudge slightly if violently rubbed using water (this probably won't affect you anyway)
  • Bit overpriced
  • Gel could be darker in colour


Rating: ★★★★½


4½/5 stars.

It's a great product overall but if you're going to purchase this I recommend buying your own eyeliner brush that works for you beforehand.

What drew me towards purchasing this product was the fact it was highly compared to L'Oreal Paris' True Match Foundation. Considering this was on sale for a measly $23.00 combined with a prestigious $9 discount for Priceline members only voucher, I couldn't dare turn this down.


I chose the shade 130 in True Beige, pictured above. Be aware that the larger the number does not correspond to a darker shade. Most of you would probably be knowledgeable of that, but I'm mentioning it just in case. A family member purchased 140 - Golden Beige of the foundation and it turned out to be much more orange than my shade even though the shade I purchased (130) was only "one shade" lighter.

The consistency of the foundation is neither runny nor thick. However it's easy to blend, therefore its leaning towards runny. Judging from experience it provides medium to high coverage depending on how much you apply. I found it to be noticeably thicker in consistency in comparison to Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation which contrastingly provides little coverage of blemishes or redness. 

Having dry skin on the front my nose occasionally denotes that foundation or any type of product placed upon the faltering skin emphasises its dryness. This foundation seems to unfortunately emphasise the dryness as it has a more matte finish rather than a glossy finish considering it doesn't make your face shiny. However, I've found the regions adjacent to my nostrils can feel quite oily subsequent to application of the product despite having a matte finish, therefore I always set my foundation with a transparent powder to relieve that oily feeling, my favourite being Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

The product is generally long lasting as I've worn it out every so often, with the product still prominently remaining on my face after a few hours. Although, I haven't tried it going out to a club or in any other environment where it's probable that makeup will begin to diminish over time so I'm not completely sure on that environment and the products' long-wear ability.

Summary:
Pros: 
  • Successfully covers blemishes/red blemishes on the face
  • Long lasting
  • Doesn't appear oily on the skin
  • Range of shades to choose from
  • Great packaging - maybe a bit large for some but the pump executes just the right amount of foundation
Cons:
  • May feel a bit heavy or oily on the skin 
  • Can emphasise dryness in some areas
Rating: ★★★★☆
4/5 stars.

Overall I'd suggest this product if you ever see it on sale and would prefer to save your dollars rather than splashing it out on expensive substitutes.
