REVIEW: MAYBELLINE EyeStudio Gel Eyeliner!

Well, hello there! Today I have a review for you all. This review as you may have already guessed is going to be on Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner, enjoy!


So, this is the first gel eyeliner I have actually ever tried, i'm usually more of a liquid eyeliner kind of gal. However, I decided to give this a go as I have seen and heard quite a bit about it. The eyeliner comes in a sleek, stylish hard glass pot and you also get a pointed eyeliner brush with it.


The brush is surprisingly good quality and i do use it to apply the liner which works nicely. At first, it doesn't really look like you get much product but a little of this eye liner goes a very long way. The eyeliner itself is in the shade '01 - Black' and it's nice and pigmented, it looks very dramatic and applies nice and smoothly. Unlike some liquid eyeliners, it does dry and go all crackly - this stays smooth looking.


Also, it doesn't fade away in the inner corners of the eyes which I am very pleased with as this is something that previously annoyed me about eyeliners. As I said, a little goes a long way with this liner and it has good staying power too - although I wouldn't say 24hr!


Overall, this is a very good gel eyeliner. It's easier and simpler to apply than most products and you get a lot for your money. It's a little on the pricier side at around £7.99 but considering you get a good brush with it as well, I'd say it's very worth it. Definitely try it out if you're looking for a new eyeliner or if like me, you wanted to try a gel one - it's worth a try!

And that's my review, I hope you found this helpful and interesting. Have you tried this eyeliner?!

Please leave me comments and any questions or suggestions you have down below - i love hearing from you!

TOP 5 FAVOURITE EYE PRODUCTS!

In this post, I am going to share with you my current top 5 favourite eye products. Let's get started!

Sleek's Oh So Special Palette - £6.99:



Firstly, I have my Sleek Oh So Special palette. I love this palette because it contains some really nice, workable shades for every day looks. It has a mixture of matte and shimmery finish shadows and there's a really good matte black in there too. The shadows blend well and there's barely any fallout which I love. It's a great little palette and is definitely worth it's reasonable price!

MUA's Heaven and Earth Palette - £4:



Next off, I have another palette. It's MUA's infamous Heaven and Earth palette. It contains twelve, really pretty, shimmery shadows and they are all gold and brown shades. Most of the shadows are really nicely pigmented and there is little fallout. I love this because of the neutral colours and the diverse shades of each colour that it has. It is so easy to create a day to night look with this palette and it's unbelievably cheap for it's great quality.

Elf' Eyeshadow Duo - £1.50:


The final eye shadow in this favourites post is my ELF eyeshadow duo in the shade Mocha. I love this because it has two key shades for me in most of my everyday eyeshadow looks; a medium brown and a pearly white. Both of these shadows have multiple uses, especially the white and they are so cheap that you really can't go wrong. It's a handy little duo to carry round with you on your travels and the pigmentation you get is very impressive.

L'oreal Telescopic Mascara - £10.99:



Fourth on my list is one of my favourite mascaras of all time: L'oreal Telescopic. I love the brush on this nascara and it lengthens my lashes like no other. My lashes are long but annoyingly straight and this gives them the length and volume I want. It's a little bit of pricier side but it definitely worth it and I would seriously recommend this mascara to anyone!

Real Techniques Eye Brush set - £20.99



Last but certainly not least on my life is my Real Techniques eye brush set. I love this set so much and i use them every single day. Each brush has it's own precise use and they are so, so soft on the eye which is always a definite plus. You can just tell that these brushes are high quality and they have a very reasonable price tag considering you get 5 brushes in the set.

And that's my list! I love all of these products and I have done a review on some of them which you should definitely go have a look at! Thank you for reading and don't hesitate to leave any comments or suggestions down below!
