Hello Beauties! Not too long ago i shared with you everything that i picked up at IMATS 2012 and one of the things i got the most questions about were the 3 gel liners that i bought at Inglot. So in the meantime i have had a month to play with these lil babies so i can give you my honest thoughts on this product.
I ended up buying the 3 colours that i would get the most use out of: a black (77),an eggplant purple (74) and a chocolate brown (90)
To give you a bit of an idea of the liner's themselves there are 20 colours to choose from,all of which are matte.I love their range of colours,you dont often see this variety with gel liners.They are $25 each although i got 30% off mine,and the jars are actually quite large too (5.5g)
What Inglot say: High intensity pigments provide ideal coverage and rich colors after just one application. The Creamy and delicate long lasting formula dries in 60 seconds to a water, smudge and crease proof finish.
My thoughts: Initially i bought these to use as a base for eyeshadow,and whilst i do like using them for that and i do think they are a beautiful base they literally dry with the blink of you're eye.Seriously. You have to work FAST.I have really been enjoying using these as eyeliner,i especially like the purple for the water line.
The best quality these have is the formula. I have never used such a soft and buttery gel liner as these and for that quality alone i would re-purchase these in a heartbeat.They are so easy to apply,the colour is rich so only one brush stroke is needed and what shocked me most was how long these stayed for.They didnt crease,fade or wear off at all. Because these wore so well this peaked my interest and decided a little experiment was in order.
The top picture was done at 7 in the morning while i was doing my makeup,then i put a long sleeve top on over it of the day.Bear in mind i am a mum and a hair dresser so my hands/arms are in water alot .
The bottom picture was taken 12 hours later at 7pm.Now i think this is bloody impressive!
Same again with these pictures the only difference is these were done with an eyeliner brush and the others were with my finger.The faint mark in the bottom picture next to the black is a swatch of my other blacker-than-black eyeliner "Perversion"by Urban Decay. I wanted to see how the two compared,thy actaully looked identical when first swatched and as the day wore on so did "perversion".....
I would without hesitation buy this product again i loved everything about it i am just kicking myself for not buying the white and the teal colours i also had my eye on at the time!
I hope you found this useful and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask :)
I have looked at these when I was in Inglot and they looked amazing! They have such beautiful colours :) I like your purple one.

Michelle seriously I was standing there deciding for like an hour! They have the most beautiful colours I can't wait to get more :)
DeleteThese are great and I agree with the staying power... FULL ON!!! Although getting the product out of your brushes can be a bit of a pain in the butt!
ReplyDeleteHa ha true that! I clean them straight after using them its a bit easier, they are like a tattoo lol
DeleteBig time but its good to have products that stick! I have tagged you in a little bloggers confession posts

They look extremely pigmented. I've been into gel liners lately but just one thing puts me off, the time it takes to apply them! Otherwise it's alot easier than liquid liners.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pigmented! I find these ones really quick as you don't need to build the colour up they are beautiful, if you try them I would love to know what you think :)
DeleteThey do look amazing!! I'd love to see a comparison next to the makeup geek gel liners if u were thinking of getting any, hehe. wish I could afford the price tag on these!
ReplyDeleteI did pay a little more for these but they are brilliant! I have been eyeing off a lot of the makeup geek things I'll place an order one day lol
DeleteHey! These sound awesome...I have never tried any Inglot products before but have heard great things. I'm really interested to try these out if I am ever by a store on vacation. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Carly :) they' are so beautiful let me know what u think if u do try them :)
