I am very much a gel liner kinda gal, I simply find them to apply better and work best
with my annoyingly oil lids not to mention that most tend to be blacker than black!
However I have lost my beloved Inglot gel liner and want to wait until i'm in London
next month to replace it and perhaps pick up a few goodies while in store?
Anyway to tide me through I have been looking for a reasonable priced black liner
and have found a star product in L'Oreal Perfect Slim Super Liner which shock horror is not a gel liner!
The packaging doesn't really require much discussion - it's plain black plastic with gold trimmings
which is fairly classic and not at all tacky in my opinion
but what really sells this product in terms of application is the moulded grip towards the nib of the pen
which is a welcome addition of comfort to the handsand it does make application easier since it is pretty much non slip, great for when you are half asleep in the morning...no just me?
As mentioned I'm a gel liner fan so I really thought using a pen style liner would be troublesome
but it was pretty much straight forward and as the nib is so fine you can easily control the thickness
of line you wish - from precise razor sharp lines to thick broad line shapes...easy peasy!
It is mess and fuss free that anyone and everyone could use but all that is irrelevant if the product
inside turns out to be rubbish isn't it?
Well thankfully the liquid liner inside is as black as night and is opaque in one swipe,
I have no time nor patience to be going over the same line constantly...life's too short for that nonsense!
Admittedly L'Oreal Perfect Slim Super Liner is not the quickest drying liner out there
but it does dry quick enough within a minute so all is not lost and once dry it settles to a glossy black finish
that does not flake or crumble throughout the day but is easily removed with a typical eye make-up remover.
I can't comment on wither this is water proof or not but it does last a full day (10hours+)
and that is on my oily skin which I can't often say!
For under £7 I'm really impressed and will definitely repurchase this again!
Product Summary
Round Up - A easy to use black liquid liner that lasts the pace of the day.
Best For - Anyone as it is really straight forward to use and remove.
Pigmentation - (9/10) Really black and well pigmented!

I couldn't agree more :) Oh I will have to check that out :)x
DeleteI love this liquid eyeliner! It's the best liquid one I've ever used, I think I actually prefer this one to the much raved about carbon gloss one also by L'Oreal (bold statement, I know!) but it's just so, so easy to apply!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do find it smudges on my upper lid, but I think that may be due to my oily lids/not allowing it to dry properly? It lasts a bit better if I use a primer, though xx
I have never tried the other one but good to know that this is the best ;) ah I've had some problems with other liners doing that but i'm so impatient haha x
DeleteGreat post, will pick this up soon! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess :) I hope you do x
Deletei love the super liner carbon gloss, so i might have to pick this up once i'm out of that!xo

ReplyDeleteThanks jenna :) enjoy your new product :)
DeleteThis is perfect because I'm looking for a new liquid liner!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could help :)
DeleteThis looks really easy to use, I'm hopeless at liquid eyeliner with brushes.

Practise makes perfect...or so they tell me haha I still have the odd wobble or twelve ;)
DeleteThis looks great, I'm dreadful at applying liquid eyeliner but I might give this a go as the formula sounds perfect :-)
ReplyDeleteIt honestly is the easiest thing to apply thanks to the little grip :)
DeleteMight have to try this, I love these kind of felt tip liners.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love this then :)
DeleteDo you think the pen itself dries out quickly? Just a lot of pen liners dry out within a couple of weeks and I'm searching for a good one x
