L'Oreal Super Liner Gel Intenza review

*4*

Hi all,

My post today is about a gel eyeliner that's from L'Oreal, L'Oreal is a pretty trusted brand so I had high expectations. The Liner is called Super Liner Gel Intenza.

I received this in a beauty box for £15 which was filled with lots of goodies inside. Some of the things that was included was a mini Benefit porefessional, a set fake eyelashes, a Stila lip glaze ...

BUT today's review is about the eyeliner. Currently I'm using a maybelline liquid eyeliner which is like a pen, I prefer these shapes as opposed to the ones where you are dipping the stick into the eyeliner because i find pen eaiser to use. Personally I find you get easier control so you get a more accurate line. :D but that's just person opinion. For a pencil eyeliner I'm using Bourjois, which is another intense black that I really like!

I've never ever used gel eyeliner so I thought it would take a while to get into the hang of using it properly but I was totally wrong, it was very easy to apply even a thin line. The brush is supplied and it is pretty small making a thin line more easier to draw. 

The gel eyeliner is a smooth and creamy texture that applies easily on to the brush without creating a dip in the pot. It always annoys me when you press too hard with lip balms or body butter and you create a gaping indent, I like the surface nice and smooth :) Maybe that's just me ^_^

There are 2 versions of this product where the colours differ between them, only slightly but then again you want to buy stuff that is EXACTLY what you're looking for. So, number 1 version is the Pure Black and number 2 version is Golden Black. 

I received the Golden Black one and it is really pretty. It's not jet black but still pretty dark and then it is slightly glittery as well, for that gold touch. When you look at the liner it looks pretty gold, like shimmery in the light, but once you apply it on, it isn't that noticeable. This is why I like it, because you can tell it is still black one the eyelid but then it has a slight glittery look to it, making the colour less harsh. 

 

The brush also comes with the eyeliner and is the perfect match for the pot, the brush is pretty small so you can draw thin lines easily and then to create thicker lines/ more dramatic smoky eyes you can simply fill in the line on the eyelid. L'Oreal are also very thoughtful as they provide a lid on the brush which is better than wrapping the brush in a plastic case as it is more hygienic. 

Moreover, this gel liner is both WATERPROOF and 24 HOUR LASTING. I would agree that it is waterproof because it did  take a while before I was able to get it all off using make up remover. However, I can't promise that this liner lives up to its 24 hour claim because I haven't tried. I'd say that so far, the longest time I've had it on is about 10 hours and it was still solidly on there with the colour not have faded at all. So, who knows, maybe it can last that long!

Here are two pictures of the eyeliner on me. I didn't go over the line several times but if you did, I'm sure you'd get a much darker and defined line.

Ah, I have such awkward eyes...I wish the brown centre and outer dark ring were bigger :'( 

Anyway, as you can see, my line is quite noticeably black and just from looking, you can't see any gold tinge.

Therefore:

Appearance:   : I like that the black isn't too sharp and it feels special because of the glitter elements...it's perfect for party wear and casual day wear!

Durability: : Lasts very long and maintains the darkness, ie. no fading 

Ease of use: : I was super surprised and very impressed, the easiest liner I've ever used and now I use it all the time

Comfort: : Very light, no itchiness and doesn't cause the eyelid skin, which is very sensitive, to become dry

RESULT???

I <3 it so much!!! The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product, I have seen it in different drug stores, make up stores etc and the price does vary but it's roughly between 8 pounds and 9 pounds. I really recommend it for everybody because it's even simple for beginners to use. I am very happy with the gel liner and would definitely repurchase it!
