Hi everyone.. :-)
I bought this gel liner from coastal scents nearly a month ago. So here is the review:
Shade/colour: True black (a deep matte black)
Price: 6.95$ / INR 310 (approximately)
Weight: 3 gms/0.11oz
Where to buy: coastalscents.com
So this is how the packaging looks like:
This is how the jar and the liner inside looks:
The texture of the gel liner is smooth and buttery and is highly pigmented <3. See how black it is:
Left: single stroke,Right: heavy and thick swatch(pic taken indoors in natural light)
Glides very easily on the lid and dries down to a matte finish.staying power is quite good..almost 8 hrs! It doesn't smudge but it flakes off if you rub your eyes even just a li'l! If you don't do that then there is nothing to worry about.Everything was well and good until one day when i opened it to find it almost dry!!! see the pic below and observe the sheen on the surface..
(left: NEW, right: After a few days)
I think this happened because of the bad designing of the jar..coz my maybelline gel liner is in perfect condition even after a long time(will do a comparison post soon).The liner was all lumpy and crusty when i tried to pick it up on a brush.I lost all hopes of being able to using it again..But i found a way to revive it! will tell you how in the next post :-)
Pros:
* Very pocket friendly price.
* Quantity is huge.
* Superb pigmentation.
* Good staying power.
* can be used on waterline too.(test it first if you have sensitive eyes)
Cons:
* Dries out super quickly in the jar.(altleast in my case it did)
* Dries out super quickly on the lids too.so you gotta work superfast while working on the eyes.
Rating: 4/5
All in all this is a great product to buy if a good gel liner in pocket friendly price is what you are looking for.Hope this review helped.. :-) If you have anymore doubts/questions please feel free to leave a comment :-))
Love,
Siri.
