a review : Maybelline gel liner

I have always loved the look of gel liner. Its dark, matte and in a way, perfect. I never tried gel liner before, so I decided to pick one up from the drugstore. I bought the Maybelline gel liner after hearing many positive reviews from various Youtubers including Wayne Goss.

This gel liner is really dark, waterproof, easy to work with and long wearing. It comes with a pretty good brush. The formulation is really great although I cant say its the best since I never tried anything else, but for the price, its pretty great. 

It was really easy to work with as it didnt dry too fast, so you do have time to apply it. It is more forgiving than a liquid liner.

It lasted well on my very oily eyelids ( i did use urban decay primer potion ). Throughout the day, it did not transfer or smudge, and that got me sold on this liner.

You do have to use a waterproof makeup remover to remove the liner.

Overall, I really love this liner. It is affordable, long wearing, black, waterproof and great for oily eyelids.

makeup : 

1. Nars audacious lipstick in Barbara (review here) - I am absolutely in love with this lipstick. Its the perfect brownish nude for my skin tone and its my go to lipstick. I think that this would look great with any makeup look and would suit most skin tones. 

2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara - This is a great mascara for lengthening my lashes. It doesnt clump and it will not transfer or smudge. Its great for people with oily eyelids. However since is super long wearing, its pretty hard to get it off. 

skincare :

3. Clarisonic Mia 2 - I bought the Clarisonic because my skin was just not happy at all for the past few months. But after using this, my skin has definitely start to clear and improve. My face feels gunk-free after using this.

haircare :

4. Nature's Gate sulfate free volumizing conditioner for fine hair - I picked this up on a whim and it has changed my hair life. It makes my hair super soft and manageable for 2 days (i have tangly and fine hair). This conditioner is organic so its good and healthy for your hair. It has lemongrass & clary sage. Im not the biggest fan of the scent, but the scent doesnt linger. I will definitely try out the shampoo after I run out of my current one.
