I picked this up a few weeks ago from Boots but it's also available online. It was £6 (link) which I thought was pretty reasonable. This is the first product from the Soap & Glory cosmetics range that I've tried.
The packaging is what you'd expect from Soap & Glory; it's a bit quirky and bright but still practical. It's basically exactly like a felt tip pen.
I should confess that I'm a total devotee to my Bobbi Brown gel liners and when I do want to wear liner, those are the ones I usually reach for. I've tried several liquid liners in the past and have always found them difficult to work with.
Soap & Glory say that this liner features 'our unique INKJET™ colour release & Gloss–Fix™ finish to give a rich
and intense colour. The foolproof marker tip creates two looks - Fine
point for a natural look or thick edge adds a dramatic flash!'
Their description is fairly accurate, I found I could get a fine line or a thicker one relatively easily. The nib is not very flexible though so it wasn't the most comfortable or precise application-wise.
As you can see from the swatches, it does have a glossy finish once dry. I really liked that look as I find black liner sometimes looks really flat when it dries so I was impressed with the finish. However, this transferred pretty badly on me when I did a thicker line.
Would I repurchase this? Probably not, I prefer my gel liners for their staying power but I'll continue to use Supercat when I want a finer line.

I bought this few weeks ago I never had a felt tip eyeliner pen before i was unsure at first about it but i love it now I have to say practice maes perfect. :) x
ReplyDeleteI definitely need a steady hand for it! Have you used gel liners before?xx
DeleteI have the Inglot one which i love but I just haven't found the perfect brush :(
DeleteOooh you need to try a bent liner brush (not the ELF one though, it's rubbish) - I have one from Sephora but you might be able to find something similar in Boots/Superdrug. It made applying gel liner so easy for me!xx
Deleteya i got from elf it was rubbish alright i'll just have to keep trying till i find one i havent been looking recently though must try boots thanks! :)
DeleteReally want to try this out. Great review and love the packaging simple but effective:) x
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!xx
DeleteI bought this some time last year, I wanted an eyeliner that was quite precise but don't like liquid eye liner so went for this. I like that it's a pen, makes it much easier to use but I found it wasn't black enough for me and when I tried to layer it to get a blacker line it removed the line already there :(

Ah really? I found it to be pretty black on me - just as black as the BB gel liner I use anyway! I didn't go over it once it'd dried so I didn't experience any peeling :/ xx
