Maybelline recently released new colours in their gel liner collection, and I picked up what looked like the last few pieces from Target. The one I am reviewing now is the blue-toned Sapphire.
Like all of Maybelline's gel liners, this too comes in a glass pot, and a brush is included in the packaging. Quite unlike applicators included with most products, this brush is actually very nice, so remember to clean it after every use, and it should last a good while.
On to the liner itself, it is a purple-blue colour, and while putting it on at home I was a bit disappointed because it looked almost black to me. After I got a chance to take a look at it under a bit more light though, it definitely is NOT black.
Swatches on my arm:
The liner goes on smoothly, but it takes a bit of time to dry, so if you aren't patient you could end up with a line near the eyebrow - not a good look :P It doesn't fade or flake off, and it stays on my lids without smudging or disappearing once it sets. I have tried it on my waterline, but since it isn't specifically written on the package regarding use on the waterline, I am not too sure about it.
How to Use:
I found this a good eyeliner for days when I don't want to bother with an eyeshadow (which would be most days) yet want a bit of colour. I did try this on my waterline, just for fun, but as I said, I am not sure if it's safe for use that way.
Overall, a fun and not-too-expensive gel liner for anyone looking for some colour on the eyes.
Cost: About $8.

ReplyDeleteRads, you told me it looks black!! No way its black! It looks super blue, abso gorgeous and makes your eyes look sexy :D Hmmmm...thanks for making me want it now that I won't be able to find it :(
ReplyDeleteI knowwwwwwwwwwwwww....am sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrry :( I tried it last weekend...and I thought it looked so black, but I guess it was the lighting :(( I was pretty sure you would kill me now that I know it's blue :| :| :|
ReplyDeleteBee - I hope you find it :)
ReplyDeleteAppu - I don't this one is "limited edition"....the green liner has LE mentioned on the packaging - my feeble attempt at wriggling out of the black/blue fiasco :|
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw LE on the packaging plus its not listed on the Maybelline site :( haha issok...me wil go check again at Walgreens :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteawesome color rads and you have applied it so neatly.... :) and the gel looks so silky in the pot.... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ramya :) It is a really smooth liner and quite easy to apply..
ReplyDeleteLovely Lovely Blue i must say! I am a sucker for blue liners. I found Revlon Fabuliner in blue the best (which is discontinued btw!) and keep looking for that perfect blue :D This one is gorgeous! abd ur eyes, they say something? ;)
ReplyDeleteMy eyes...aaah I think they are trying to say..are those Cheetos I see in the distance there :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteI love your eyes Rads, you can do so much with them...I for one dont like lining my eyes as it makes them look even smaller...as it turns out i dont have deep set eyes, i have hooded eyes which I do quite like actually but keeps me out of all the fun that eye makeup offers that is the only thing :)
ReplyDeleteHeheee thankooo Debb...:D :D
