Essence Gel Eyeliner Midnight In Paris Review & Swatches

-
I love Eyeliner and Kohl. My makeup is incomplete without both of them. One problem I always suffer from eyeliner is that it doesn’t stay on my eyes for long. I have oily eyelids and my waterline is too watery. So the thing which can stay on such kind of eyes should be extremely waterproof. The first eyeliner I used was a liquid eyeliner. It was good but had shinny look.At that time I knew that only liquid eyeliner exist. Liquid eyeliners usually get crinkled or cracked effect after few hour. I tried pencil eye liners too but they have poor staying power.Then was the turn to try cake eyeliners. It made ring and smudged off on my eyelid. I hate horrible Panda eye look. They are not definitely for oily and droopy lids.I have seen many makeup artists using gel liners.I thought to give it a try. During my visit to a super store. I have seen essence counter and gel liner was there. It was affordable. So i thought to give it a try and bought this gel liner in black Midnight in Paris.This gel eyeliner is available in four colours.
  • Midnight in Paris 01
  • London Baby 02
  • Berlin Rocks 03
  • I Love NYC 04
The packaging is in thick glass pot with a black plastic lid on top.It contains 3ml,0.1l.oz of the product.It says high precision gel eyeliner and claims to be waterproof.Lets have a look at my experience with this product.


My Experience :

I really liked this product.Usually gel eyeliner are not much pigmented but this one is jet black. If I talk about staying power, it has good staying power. It is a plus point for me because I didn't have found consistency like this with other eyeliners except MAC fluid line. It stays on my eyelids for more than 12 hours without any sealer.The product is creamy and has really easy to apply texture.It glides easily and smoothly. But a good quality and clean brush should be used every time for applying this product. Otherwise it will make clumps while applying. It is waterproof and smudge proof. It didn't ran out of my waterline and stayed there perfectly.
The drying time is pretty short. You don't need to close your lids for long to wait to dry the product. It dries instantly after application. This could be a disadvantage for those who are not good in applying eyeliners because you have to remove any mistake with makeup remover only.
Oh i forget to mention one bad thing about this product it doesn't lasts longer.I mean my eyeliner dried and became useless after few weeks. I have read reviews saying it lasts for a year and it remained creamy but why it wasn't in my case :(
It costs Rs.530 and available at essence counters in most of superstores.

Swatch:

Here is the swatch of the product. It is looking dry due to the camera light but in real it is not.

Liked :

  • Highly pigmented
  • Creamy texture
  • Waterproof
  • Smudge proof
  • Budget friendly
  • Dries quickly
  • Doesn't run out
  • Easy to apply
  • Good staying power

Disliked :

  • Doesn't lasts longer

Rating :

9.5 out of 10

Repurchase :

Yes. I have already purchased another one :)

Hope this post will give you an idea if gel eyeliners. 

 Take care until next post

 Love :)

L'Oreal Elvive Active Selenium Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Review

I have used every shampoo, well known products and  dermatologists  prescriptions  for dandruff control.  But nothing worked for my scalp. My dandruff was too stubborn. I was very disappointed. I stopped finding any cure for it. On my visit to a super store, I caught the sight of L’Oreal Elvive Active Selenium Anti-Dandruff Shampoo on the counter shelf. I grab it just to wash my hairs like any other shampoo. I was already disappointed of the results I got from famous anti dandruff products that I had used in the past. So this was just an ordinary shampoo for me.  The shampoo comes in a large dark blue plastic bottle. The product claims effective from first use, effective results for up to 4 weeks, even if you stop using it. Reduces the appearance of persistent flakes. Let’s find out their claim proven to be right or wrong ;) My Experience:   It is densely thick and light orange in color. It makes great foam unlike other dandruff shampoo. Th...

Hello Friends,  I am happy to know that I am the first one to write a review about Swiss Miss Lipstick ;) Do you remember? We have seen our mothers and aunts using Medora and Swiss Miss lipsticks in the past. Both of them are probably the pioneers of establishing the cosmetics trend in Pakistan. Swiss Miss is a brand of Admiral of New York. My review of today is on Swiss Miss Lipstick shade Pretty Pink. I am in love with pink shades. It catches my sight everywhere, whether I am buying clothes, shoes, bags or cosmetics. This purchase happened due to my love for pink :) I have never bought any product of Swiss Miss before. This is my first purchase from Swiss Miss. I loved the packaging. In fact it makes it look like an expensive lipstick. It comes in a black plastic tube with a thin silver line around the opening. This tube is again covered in black cardboard box with product details and ingredients mentioned. The box says “vibrant color matte lipstick”...

Hello My Dear friends ! How are you all? My today's review is on a local brand Medora of London which contains a wide range of lipsticks and nail polishes. They are easily available nationwide on all cosmetic stores. This brand is made in Pakistan.Their lipsticks and nail polishes are my favourite ones. They have a wide range of matte ,shiny and glittery lipsticks. Matte lipsticks are my favourite ones.I like to use matte lipsticks due to their long lasting staying power. I am not a bold colour lover. I always love to go with nude,pink or peach colours . But I love trying different nail and lipstick colours. As I love nude colours, this shade of Medora named Viva Glam #235 is in my use from many years. I love this colour and it suits me too that's why its in my make up box from many years. I meant not the same lipstick :D. I repurchase it whenever i am out of this colour. Packaging is just OK. It comes in a dark Gray plastic tube which is covered outside in a c...
