Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Gel Liner - Golden Black, Bloody Sweet, Bloody Angel

I'm always on the lookout for good eyeliners and when I heard that these were a stick version of gel liner I had to give them a haul. I love my MAC gel liners and the only thing that could make them better is if I didn't have to bother with a brush!

This product claims to have a creamy texture which slides on smoothly and lasts all day without smudging. Isn't that what we want from all liners? The pencils are retractable and has a little sharpener in the cap which I didn't realize until I was playing around with one and thought I had broke it ...

Golden Black is a deep black with fine golden shimmer. Bloody Sweet is a light pink with silver shimmer (which reflects green and purple much like crystal does). Bloody Angel is a a hot pink with the same silver shimmer. The shimmer/glitter bits are not chunky but their reflective property is somewhat obvious when wore on the eye. I would not use these to tightline because of the glitter pieces.

These are amazeballs! For serious. The pencils glide on like butter. LIKE BUTTER. and when I swatched them in store, the swatches were still going strong the next day after a shower. On the eyes, these really do last all day and give such intense color payoff. They don't smudge usually but I found on one particular humid day when my eyelids were oily (which they never are), there was a little bit of creasing. Aside from that, the formula of these is really top notch. You never have to go back and forth to get a opacity.

Do you use gel liners?

Daily Zen: I heard the House of Cards ringtone at my work place and immediately was transported to that show. Am anxiously waiting for the new season on Netflix! (Also, I realized the ringtone is the default for the new range of Blackberry phones...I thought they had it special made for the show...now how do I get that on my iphone...)
