What did I get?
L-R Deep Plum, 24K and True Black
And see how pretty they are when swatched
Top-bottom: True Black, Deep Plum and 24K
True Black - came in perfect! Now I know why it always goes "Out of Stock", the consistency is great, it is definitely TRUE black, I am excited to use this as my HG Stila Smudgepots is getting dry as it has been almost a year with me!
Deep Plum - it came in with a "mousse-y" texture, I have to swipe a couple of times for the shade to come out as the photo above. I tried putting it on my lid and it looks, different, a good kind of different and the "mousse" texture gets dry.
24K - if Deep Plum is "mousse-y" in texture, 24K felt like whipped cream. LOL it bothers me at first because I have never tried gel liner to be uhm....a real "GEL" in texture lol But the texture can be put to side as one swipe gave out a really nice gold-ish color with the right amount of sparkle. So excited to use this on my lids. I have a feeling I need Truffle as base and top it with this one, have to test it, as it goes so well on my skin tone that it probably won't show up too much on my eyes.

You guys know me, I'm a smart shopper, since I'm already paying for shipping, why not add an inexpensive item that doesn't weigh so much???
The Pink Angle Taklon Liner Brush has it's own "award" from some of the beauty bloggers, and since my gel liners increase in quantity, I should increase the liner brushes right? RIGHT!

When I got this brush, I was having mixed feeling. Can't say it's bad, but it ain't that good as well. I guess I was expecting something else. I was expecting a slim brush, but the angled liner brush came in, well shaped like hmm how do I explain this... 3 DIMENSIONAL? lol I don't mind though, it's inexpensive, and I love surprises! :D
Here's the look, It's PINK again! :)
A closer look on the brush
The angle is perfect for lining the eye
(excuse the dirty hair coz I used it to swatch the gel liners)
That's the 3D I'm talking about..lol
As compared to my Smashbox Liner Brush,
CS Pink Angle Taklon Liner brush
Smashbox Liner Brush's Ferrule is flattened,
so brush is thinner
And here's a freebie from Coastal Scents
A Blue Diamonds Shadow Sample
It is pretty and the sample is good enough for several applications :)
On finger, without base!
You can't go wrong with pigmented shadows!
Do you own all CS gel liners?
I've read that not all the gel liners are consistent in their pigmentation.
Which color do you think I should include in my gel liner collection?
Any color worth looking back?
Thanks!
Have a great weekend and
Stay Happy!
