This product surprised me, I didn't expect it to be as good as it is! I picked it up from Superdrug a few months ago on a 3 for 2 offer and as soon as I left the shop I thought "What have I just done? Why didn't I spend a pound extra and get the Maybelline Gel liner?" but I'm ridiculously glad I didn't!
Pros:
- It's very black, not a dark grey. It's a black.
- The lasting power genuinely surprised me. I can put this on at 9 in the morning, go to work, come home at 7 and it's still there.
- Easy to use and easily correctable if you make a mistake.
- Comes with a brush.
- Very smooth, creamy texture.
- Comes in a variety of shades, such as gold and brown.
- You get a fair amount for your money.
- Nice, simple monochromatic packaging.
- Only £4.99!
Cons:
- The brush is very small and it isn't the easiest thing in the world to use. I use one of my own brushes.
- The pot is quite small, even if it will last a while.
- Does smudge a little bit onto the lower inner third of my eye after about 4 hours.
I personally love this, it's staying power is really great and it's a strong colour. Would recommend!
I know it's an absolute sin to use before photographing but I had to use it!! |

So, that's my review of the Collection Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner in Black. It's available in Boots and Superdrug for £4.99 and I recommend it!

DeleteI usually use a pencil liner but I've been tempted to try one like this. For that price I think I'll buy this and play around with it! :D Thanks for the review.
