Eyes Cream Gel Pencil Eyeliner review

I found these while shopping on Qoo10. It's an e-commerce website owned by eBay. Here is the link where I bought them from.

I got these at a bargain, a buy one get one free plus 20% off! These are originally ¥1200 each. I was surprised to learn that they were made in Germany!

Gel Liners are my favourites! They do an amazing job lining your eyes with the right consistency and stroke lines (subtle and smooth)

left is Bitter brown and right is Milk Brown

I noticed that once I leave them to dry for 3 minutes, they are waterproof. 

pros:

• waterproof
• nice consistency
• easy to store (can twist up and twist down)
• smudgy look (not sure whether this is a pro or con)

cons:

• how difficult it is to get the lid/cap off
• sometimes you end up with double strokes (the shape of the tip is not perfectly rounded off perfectly)
• the strokes are not sharp (quite smudgy, like eye shadow)

Like most gel eyeliners, this is a twist up and twist down type, which makes it easy to store and to get the right length of the liner. 

The only drawback about this is just HOW HARD IT IS TO GET THE LID/CAP off!!... This has been my frustration ever since I started using this, especially in mornings.

Fix this lid/cap and it will almost be the perfect eyeliner.

score: 7.5/10 (if you add in the lid factor - 5/10)
