Clinique gel eyeliner

After reading several reviews and seeing youtube videos, I thought I should buy the Clinique gel liner in black. I use black the most especially for smokey eyes, lining eyes on top, bottom and inside in place of kajal / kohl pencil. the one I usually use is blacktrack by MAC but in the past also used one by Stila, which has disappeared from Selfridges!!

It is too early to say much as I have just worn it on my waterline and will wait a few hours to tell you if it has smudged or run as my eyes do that. Also, as I am not 20 (waaaaaaaannnn, sob sob), I find kohl and other things get lodged in my 'fine' lines in the corners of my eye no matter how carefully I powder.......

SMASHBOX Metallic Cream Eye Liner Palette

I have recently bought this palette, thinking that it will cut down the weight and bulk of carrying several coloured eyeliners.

Shades that are present are top row: Onyx, topaz, emerald, Sapphire and Gold
Bottom row is Amethyst, Blue Topaz, Graphite, Platinum and bronze

The colours are al fabulous and come out true on your hand and eyes. My only problem is that they get smudged and run, so an option of putting an eyeshadow on top will work (got to try that). Not pleased as nobody wants smudged eyeliners. It is pricey at £30 and and quantity is small for each colour.

BUT BUT BUT..... I shall be using them as a colourful base on eyelids for all photographic work like I would use greasepaints so can you!

Will post a picture of this later.
