Maybelline Eyeliners

BE CONFIDENT. ACCEPT YOURSELF. If you cant accept who you are, then who can? 

I was in Boots a while ago and I was looking at the Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24hr (which I have been lusting over for a while now), after seeing it in a few of Tanya Burr's makeup tutorials/videos I decided it MUST be worth buying, and oh golly I was not disappointed! It comes in a little glass pot, so cute, and along with a perfect brush. Now just to point out, this isn't any old cheapo, crappy brush, I mean it's really good! It's soft and just the right size, it's easy to control and picks up the perfect amount of product. I absolutely love love love this eyeliner, I can't put into words how amazing it is, it can look so natural and effortless, but can also dramatically enhance your eyes and make them pop. I literally have nothing bad to say about this product however! I will warn you when I first opened the pot I thought, Oh you don't get much do you? buuuuut a little goes a long way and you really don't need much. And just another thing to top of the mountain of praise this baby is getting, it lasts forever! and I mean forever, it won't come off until you take it off and even then its a little tricky to budge (in a good way). 

I've had this about 3 weeks now and I've worn it practically everyday. Hardly a dent! 



Anyway enough rambling about that one and onto the next eyeliner I got, Maybelline were having a good day! So there was an offer on; buy one get the second half price. Now who's to blame for taking advantage of that? I've been looking for a new liquid eyeliner for a while and I am absolutely crap at the original ones, so when these felt pen style liners came out it was a god send. I initially bought the Collection 2000 (when it had the '2000') Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner as it was so cheap and did the job really well, I even repurchased it when my first one ran out. However I was looking to try out a different brand and see the difference so I thought it was a perfect opportunity; Maybelline master precise liquid eyeliner ultra fine tip. I have to say I think the only difference is the Maybelline version has a better pigment and a finer point (0.4mm) as it designed to have. This allows for a lot more precision and control, which I love! This also has great staying power and really defines your eyes, giving you freedom to create cat flicks or winged effects or even a thicker line. 

To compare these to eyeliners I would say that the gel one is more of a daytime liner giving subtle definition whereas the liquid liner allows you to really go for it and make your eyes stand out. They are both really amazing and I would definitely recommend these and repurchase them. Maybelline, I salute you. You know your eyeliners.
