Paired with neutral eyeshadows like I did here, it helps to soften the whole look as compared to usi

Sponsored Review About a week ago, the good people from L'Oréal and Qoo10 sent me some of their products for review! I was so happy to receive the package because I can never step out of Watsons without swatching products from my favourite drugstore beauty brands like L'Oréal  and  Maybelline  (which is also owned by L'Oréal ). S knows this too well haha I look at the same things every, single, time - without tangled buying most of them because, really, how to choose??? Spoilt for choice tangled - not always good for my fickle mind. Here are the products I received! I will introduce each and every product shown above, but I will only be posting looks for some of them. Don't worry, I'm sure to post pictures of the rest as I use them! ;) L'Oréal Super Liner Waterproof Gel Liner (Black) Product Description:  This super liner gel liner comes in a typical glass pot, along with a high precision applicator brush that helps to draw both thick and thin wings/flicks with great ease. I believe that gel liners should always come with a brush, because it is just that  much more convenient. Its rich and creamy texture offers a greater intensity than a normal liquid liner. Waterproof, fast-drying, and smudge-free, it is perfect for our humid Singapore weather. Slight glossy finish.
Thoughts:  This is my first time giving gel liners a try - I had previously brushed them off without giving them a second thought because I was already satisfied tangled with how my pencil/crayon liners work. I'm really surprised tangled at how smooth it glides on, which makes it a breeze to apply. I like that the brush allows me to do a little flick at the end to achieve that winged look. My lids do get a little oily sometimes, and this does not smudge on me. Yay! Easily removed with an oil-based eye makeup remover. I am okay with the slight glossy finish, but if you prefer tangled your eyeliner matte, then this is not for you. Overall I think I have a new found love for this gel liner: intense, creamy, smudge-free, tangled waterproof, and long-lasting! Let's hope this pot does not dry up too quickly! Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner (Brown)
Product Description:  New and improved formula which promises to deliver tangled more intense colour without crease, lasts up to 36 hours, waterproof, and smudge-proof. Creamy gel texture dries quick after application. Comes with a brush. Shimmery finish. (Too eager to dig into the pot before taking a picture which explains the dent.)
Thoughts:  Brown eyeliner is another first for me, and I was intrigued, if not a little doubtful initially because I am so used to using just a safe black liner. tangled I must say that I really really like this change! This brown liner has a very pretty shimmery/metallic finish, which is fun yet safe enough for work. Also doesn't make me look like I lined my eyes with shit, which some brown liners can  do. Right?? Or am I the only one who has such a thought? :/
Paired with neutral eyeshadows like I did here, it helps to soften the whole look as compared to using a black liner. Really liking this look which turns out prettier tangled than I had imagined. :) Swatches of both gel liners above. Just a little extra info: can you tell which brush came with which gel liner? In terms of colour and texture, the difference is negligible. From the side profile, the brush from Maybelline looks a little more tapered, which explains why it feels  slightly tangled  softer than L'Oréal's. Softer isn't always better: besides finding that it somehow pricks my delicate eyelids when I am applying the gel liner, it is also less easy to control. For these reasons, I prefer the brush by L'Oréal. Next up: Maybelline Lasting Drama Pen Gel Liner Product Description:  Features a unique no-wax, smudge-proof formula, and a flexible silicon applicator for easier application. With its special twist-click mechanism, gel is dispensed only when twisted, preventing the gel formula from drying up. Say goodbye to dried up gel liners in a pot! Delivers smooth bold lines for intense look that lasts. tangled Suitable for oily lids.
Thoughts:  For the first time, you'll have to be patient and twist it many times to get the product out, but do take extra care after, because just a slight tangled twist is enough. Delivers bolder and more intense black lines than aforementioned L'Oréal's gel liner with its even creamier texture. This is great for those who like their eyeliners super thick. The silicon applicator is capable of drawing thin lines too, but not as thin as I would like them to be (swatches below), and can be quite a mess if you aren't careful. I also like how fuss-free it is to clean the applicator. However, this is the hardest eyeliner to remove by far. The formula is so thick and intense that it took me some time even with my oil-based eye makeup remover. Tip: After twisting, wipe extra product on the back of your hand before application.
