Hello everyone haven't talk to you in ages!


This review is on the 'Rimmel London Glam Eyes Gel Eyeliner'. I have to say the reason why I wanted to try this product was because Superdrug had a 3 for 2 offer and I though the packaging of this eyeliner was really nifty, it's very similar to the packaging of some Asian brands. I bought mine at Superdrug for £6.49 and I got it in the colour Black 001 which I think is the only colour that it comes in.


The packaging of this eyeliner is made of plastic from top to bottom and it comes with a mini detachable brush which you can either store in the long lid or attach to the lid for an easy eyeliner application. 

Although this eyeliner is very portable, I think the packaging is quite cheap I mean they could at least used glass for the pot and the mini detachable brush isn't useful at all, it doesn't fit on to the lid properly.
Moving onto the actual product, I found that this eyeliner certainly did not live up to it's name. On the packaging it says that it is a waterproof gel eyeliner, however I applied this to my waterline and the product did not stay on for long at all!
                                                                                    

It is really easy to apply this gel eyeliner and it glides on very smoothly unlike the 'Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner' but it's not very pigmented and I find that the colour fades away quite quickly. Also, it smudges a lot.




In this photo I've done two swatches on  my hand, the gel eyeliner on the left is the 'Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner' and the one on the right is the 'Rimmel London Glam Eyes Gel Eyeliner'. As you can see the Rimmel gel liner has more of a shiny finish 
where as the Maybelline one is more matte. I've only done two swipes of the Maybelline gel liner but I've done multiple swipes of the Rimmel gel liner because it did not come out properly.


This is the pot that it comes in, it is very small and there's only 2g of product in the container, not worth the money at all.














Pros

  • Glides on very smoothly
  • Very portable 
Cons
  • Smudges a lot
  • Not very pigmented
  • Not a lot of product for the money 
  • Poor quality packaging
  • Not waterproof 
Overall this product was definitely a miss for me and I certainly would not be purchasing this again. 

Hoped you all found this review helpful and I'll be talking to you guys again soon!
