Great for the price
I didn't have super high hopes for this liner, as it's pretty cheap. But the reviews were consistently good, so I thought 'why not give it a go?' It's worth more than the price, but not a spectacular product. The eye liner gel goes on smoothly and is pigmented well. It stays on pretty well, and doesn't smudge. My one gripe about it is the brush it comes with! It's TERRIBLE. It was ok the first time I applied it, but once there was already eye liner on it, it got hard and wasn't functional the second time around.
Still kind of unsure about this product
I have very mixed feelings about the product, as my experiences have varied. I purchased this very shade at WalMart, tried to use it once, and found that it applied very streaky. Months lather, E.L.F sent me the same one for free as part of something I ordered online, so I tried it again, and it applied perfectly! Perhaps it doesn't have a long shelf-life, and the one I purchased in WalMart was too old? Regardless, for the price, I'd say it's worth a shot!
First of all, the price is unbeatable! $3 and it's worth every penny. It's very creamy, smooth, super pigmented, not too heavy. It's nowhere near waterproof or smudgeproof, but you can't beat it for the price!
I bought this product in hopes to transition from a pencil liner to a cream eyeliner. Overall, it is good for the price, although difficult to apply with the provided brush. I am hoping with the purchase of a new eyeliner brush this will be a better product for me.
This eyeliner is by far one of the cheapest eyeliners out there. But there are other gel/cream eyeliners around this price point that perform better. (essence, wet n wild) That being said, this does do a pretty good job, it lasts a relatively long time, has pretty good pigmentation, and glides on the lid smooth enough. There is also a very wide color range, which doesn't exist for other gel/cream eyeliners. My issue with this product is how quickly it dries out. The packaging isn't the greatest to prevent drying out, as it all plastic, as opposed to glass with other gel/cream eyeliners.
The reviews for this were amazing saying it was dark and it doesn't budge and it's dupe for mac's blacktrack fluidline. Yeah... I wasn't that impressed. I rated the price so high because it was $3 which is a great price.
I didn't find it to be as opaque as some of the reviews made it sound, I found I had to go over my liner to make it opaque black. Also the staying power was horrendous on me. I wore it in a slight wing to a dinner party, so the temperature was pretty standard not hot or humid. I didn't dance or do anything strenuous and my makeup was on for maybe 3-4hours. My eyeliner smudged like crazy, the corner of my eye was full on raccoon mode. Maybe I put too much on to make it the dark black but I did set the liner with black eyeshadow.
The liner was very creamy so it is easy to apply but really the staying power did it in for me.
It's hard to complain about a product that is $3. My eye shape is prone to smudge in the outer corner with just about every eye product but this product was far worse then anything I've used previously.
