collection 2000 lasting colour gel liner review



So this is my first ever gel liner so bearing in mind that I don't really have anything to compare with. 
So this is the gel eyeliner from collection 2000 or better known as collection now since its changed its name but somehow all their products have 2000 attached to it.  I personally prefer the name collection 2000 its a lot more unique than collection 

Price: £4.99 currently £3.99  (which i'm kinda annoyed about could of saved a pound) 
where to buy: boots. superdrug or wherever sells collection 2000 products 

Description (from collection website)
- These intense colour pigment pots will give up to 12 hours lasting wear, for a glossy finish to your essential eyeliner look.
- An applicator brush and handy hints on the back of the pack mean these lasting and easy-to-apply colours will give a professional finish that lasts!

Packaging 
It comes in a small box unlike other gel liners that I've seen  which either come in a long box or the brush is part of the lid, the eyeliner is in a glass box with a plastic lid which is quite good considering its a drugstore product. 

There's a little brush that comes with it which is pretty useless and i can't show you cos its so little and i don't use it that I've lost it :( sorry 

the little box
ingredients - sorry its blurry my phone camera won't focus:(

instructions on how to use

Texture
very creamy and opaque 
I've had this for 2 months now and it hasn't dried out though the edges kind of look like it has but then i do store it upside down 

Okay it looks like its dried out a bit at the edges - bit its still very creamy !

Application
I have found that giving it about 2 strokes will give you a nice opaque line and if you need to change it do it quick cos it will dry out and will be really hard to budge!


swatch - sorry for bad lighting
Overall
Pros:
  • compared to other gel liners this is the cheapest one that you can find in your local drugstore
  • smudge proof  
  • water proof
  • nice packaging that you can store upside down to prevent from drying
  • compared to other drugstore brands it has a wider range of colours - black, brown, yellow and a turquoise colour
  • suitable for people like me who have monolids cos it won't come off when curling lashes 
Cons
  • the brush that came with it is useless
  • may not last as long as 12 hours that is stated 
Rating - 5/5 
Repurchase? yes, definitely

Primark Liquid Eyeliner

So todays post is on my first liquid eyeliner which is primark it was a pound if i remember rightly which i think is an amazing deal!
I have tried the beautyuk one too in the past but i do not recommend that one it flakes like crazy!

so back to the eyeliner, it says on the bottle 'Liquid Eye Liner - Designed to define your eyes' which i agree it does - the formula is very opaque and dries semi matte. It is very long lasting a only flakes a little after like 6 hours of wear which is amazing for £1.

However as you can see in the pictures below the brush has gone all weird but doesn't matter to much because i have hooded/ monolids ( I have uneven eyelids) so i need a thick line anyway which i need to use another eyeliner for the flick.

It is easily removed with water and gentle rubbing - which the eyeliner flakes which might bother some people but is ok for me.

Theres also a slight scent which remind me of grapes?? Nothing unpleasant just kinda not expected lol .

PROS:

  • opaque
  • long lasting - don't need to worry about it during the day 
  • cheap - only £1
  • nice smell??
CONS:

  • the brush's gone weird - harder to control 
  • might affect some - it flakes when removing 
REPURCHASE? : Yes for the price of £1 you can't g wrong
