Hi Girls,
Another of my recent make-up buys
were the L`oreal Paris SuperLiner Gelmatic Pens.
These are gel-based twistable Pencil
Eyeliners that have been recently launched by L`oreal Paris in India as a part
of their L`Or Lumiere Collection.
Price of each is Rs. 425 for 3g.
They have been launched in a variety
of gorgeous shades but I purchased two of them based on my requirement. I needed
something shimmery yet subtle enough for daywear and these eyeliners perfectly
fit the criteria. I bought the shades Glamour Gold and Deep Brown. The swatches are below.
GLAMOUR GOLD |
DEEP BROWN |
I broke the tip of the golden one
while swatching it. This usually happens when the product is old and dried out
but I guess they are a bit too delicate and have to be dealt with caution.
The eyeliners when applied on the
eyes are not too creamy as one would expect a liner of gel consistency to be.
Infact a couple of strokes are required to bring out its true color. Although once
that`s done the colors are simply beautiful.
They are unique shades and have
somewhat of a neutral quality to them, even the bright shades I saw in the
store. They are very much work appropriate or great for daytime wear due to
this quality and looked stunning with my brown eyes. Pigmentation is amazing
and the shimmer effect is the star of the show. Staying power is great. The
liner doesn`t budge from its place for the whole day!
BUT, BUT, BUT... there was a big disappointment in my case.
After about half an hour of getting tonnes of compliments
about how beautiful my eyes looked that day...MY EYES STARTED WATERING LIKE
CRAZY and TURNED RED :(((((
There was no burning or itching as
such but I could barely keep them open...I took off the eyeliner with my makeup
remover and washed them thoroughly with a gentle foaming facewash. And MAN WAS
I RELIEVED!
I immediately inferred that there
was some ingredient in those eyeliners that irritated my eyes. I do have
sensitive eyes but I was really sad that that they acted up at this occasion when
I was soooo excited to have bought them and use them and even get compliments about
them.
I looked helplessly at those pieces
of marvel lying on my dresser and decided I will sell them off in a blog sale. Anyone
interested in buying them please comment below.
So I highly recommend trying them
out on your eyes before purchasing them. And if allergy is not a problem, then
they are a brilliant buy.
