** Gel Liner Stash **

Hello Sweeties!

Since im still not over my Liner Phase yet, im gonna do another quick review for the gel liners i currently have.. :)

im sorta regretting that i gave away my gel liner stash before, just learned how to use them properly recently, haha! used to mess up everytime i try to use gel liners, no matter how good my brush is, i cant seem to line my eyes properly with gel liners before. pwahaha!

so now, im back to a few pots again, starting to build another stash.. :)


will start with my favorite :

MAC Fluidline Gel Liners

i currently have 3 pots :



From L to R :
Graphic Brown -- Blitz Glitz -- Blue Peep


Graphic Brown (deep frosted brown with gold glitter)

**i love that its frosted and has fine gold glitter in it,
great alternative for traditional flat chocolate brown liners,



Blitz Glitz (softer black [compared to Blacktrack] with fine gold shimmer)

**gold shimmer is barely noticeable, so this could be the best alternative once you run out of Blacktrack. :)




Blue Peep (a gorgeous, vibrant turquoise/aqua shade)

** so far, this is the best turquoise gel liner ive ever seen, this makes my eyes look more awake.



-these babies have the best staying power among all the gel liners i have, looking forward to more colors of these.. :)
- formula has the right creaminess, very easy to apply, glides on the lids.. :)
- Retail price is around 200% of regular gel liners, but they are super worth their pricetags, a pot will last long, just make sure lid is tightly closed before storing. :)

Indelible Gel Liners



From L to R :

Penny -- Tanzanite -- Peacock


Penny

*nice Bronze/Copper-ish shade, havent used this yet as i prefer dark colored liners to make my eyes look bigger

Tanzanite

** color reminds me of Thai Silk clothes, deep plum/purple with iridescent purple shimmer, of all the gel liners i have, i reach for this more frequently than the others.


Peacock

** the shade name best describes the color, this indeed reminds me of a peacock's tail, frosted, gorgeous blue-green color thats not too loud.



-- Indelible gel liners are indelible indeed, they have good staying power and a pot will surely last long, formula is a bit harder than the typical gel liners, so be sure the lid's tightly closed as theyre prone to dry out faster than other gel liners.
- They are easy to apply and stays put until you decide to remove it.. :)
- they're not available locally (boo!), so i wish someone resells these babies coz they are good!
- pot size is the same as that of stila mini smudgepots, just the right size to finish up for a year perhaps.



******************************************************************************



Stila Smudge Pots


Top Left : Grey -- Top Right : Little Black Dress
Bottom -- Black

Grey

ash-grey that looks light on the pot, but turns to a darker charcoal/gunmetal color when applied


Black

Rich black.


Little Black Dress (Barbie Loves Stila Collex)

Black with purply-pink shimmer


-Stila Smudgepots dont last that long on my oily lids, and it tends to either flake or smudge sometimes, especially the LBD smudgepot.
-formula is creamy since they can be smudged and be used as eyeshadow/eyeshadow bases.
- Fullsize pots are being sold for less than Php 900.00 each @ our local Stila Counters


******************************************************************************

Dollface/Coastal Scents Gel Liners



Dark Violet


Looks dark on the pot, but is vibrant violet when applied.
What i dont like is that, it leaves a pink stain on the lids after.


Black

Rich Black

- I love that the staying power is really good (quite comparable to MAC fluidline)
- colors are nice (planning to get more, since i got these 2 since i got intrigued about the quality after watching Jeng's [ IamSUTiL's abubots ] eyeliner tutorial
- price is really affordable Php 375.00 for each pot.

i just noticed though that the consistency of both colors are different, black is really creamy, while dark violet has a harder/solid formula, also noticed that the black pot has more content than the other one..
anyhoo, both of them have good staying power, and for the price, i highly recommend others to try them! :)



________________________________________________________________

I forgot where i read this, but i wanna share it here if in case the theory is correct.

A theory about gel liners :
Gel liners that come in glass pots have a longer lifespan (the contents doesnt dry out faster) than the ones that come in plastic pots.

i sorta believe this theory as i used to have a pot of Etude House Code B Gel liner, and i noticed that the formula dries out faster than my other gel liners, then i noticed the pot, its frosted plastic, all the while i thought its frosted glass.



so, that wraps up my review for my gel liner stash.. :)

More reviews of stuff in the coming days. :)

Thanks for droppin by, Gorgeous!
