Wingin' It


I'm a huge fan of winged liner & so I'm constantly on the hunt for eyeliners that are long lasting & afforable. I had my eye on the Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner for a while & after reading a number  of good reviews I made the purchase. I got this in Boots for £7.99 (which I thought was reasonable enough!). It's in the colour 08 Black Gold, and is pretty much a black gel with gold shimmer in it but appears a dark brown / bronze-y colour on the lids. The 'stay power' of this liner is brilliant!! I mean, I can wear it all day and it will not budge. It's also really pigmented & a little goes a very long way - I've had this for a month now and have used it every day - it still looks like I've only used it once!


The packaging is sturdy -it comes in a cute little glass pot with a silver cap aswell as a little brush for application. The brush is just the perfect size for lining the eyes & allows you to create lines however thick or thin you want! Overall, this product is great - it has all you'll ever need in 1 little pack , so whether I feel like wingin' it or keeping in subtle I'll definitely be reaching for this!!




Have you tried this product before?

    I have this and really don't like it :( I just couldn't work with it.. I didn't find the gel applied smooth, it was kinda patchy/glupey in a way. But I think I have been using the wrong brush! I'm glad you liked it, shows I didn't waste my money.. I'm just doing it wrong x

      I tend to apply it very lightly, so I've never really experienced gloopyness whilst using it! Thanks for your comment!

    I have this and find i have to clean the brush after EVERY application as otherwise it all dries out. Although i do love the way it applies and stays. Thank you for the comment on my blog. I have followed you, follow me back if you like:)?

      Yeah, my brush hardens up if I don't clean it daily too - bit of pain but I guess it's a good brush! I actually intended on following you after I commented but GFC was being stubborn! Off to follow you now! :)

    I haven't tried this but it sounds really good, I'm always looking for an easy to apply eyeliner that doesn't smudge!
    I really like your blog as well, I've followed you :)

      I would recommend it if you want a long lasting liner that can be applied really easily - it's pretty cheap for the length of time the product will last! Thanks for your lovely comment! :)
