All Eyes on Revlon! {A Revlon Eyeliners Review}

Years ago, a friend of mine said, "Are you one of those Asians that buy Sony everything?" I laughed mainly because I didn't even realise how many Sony products I had at the time--camera, TV, laptop, etc. Fast forward a few years and I never thought I'd end up getting so many Revlon products, especially the Colorstay eyeliners. It was unintentional, and I picked all of these up before I had even started blogging.

But that's not the point! Revlon seems to produce the best drugstore quality products, and today I'll be reviewing their automatic liner (Colorstay Eyeliner) (which I also talked about here), their liquid eyeliner (Liquid Eye Pen), and their gel liner (Creme Gel Eyeliner).

Hello swatches!

The automatic liner and the cream/gel liner isn't the blackest of the black with one swipe, but I personally have no issue with that. Smooth and does it's job.

The liquid liner comes in a stiff felt tip pen, which makes it easy to control the thickness of the line. Very black ink leaves a crisp finish that doesn't bleed.

The cream/gel liner is a very creamy grey-black, comes with a brush and is easy to apply. There is a very subtle amount of sparkle in this product, which I had never noticed in my 3 years of owning this product until I did a hand swatch ._.
Also, I kid you not, their cream/gel liner smells like COCONUTS (or Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen) (It may just be me though, since I've yet to find anyone who thinks it also smells like coconuts...YES, I like smelling products don't laugh ;-;)

Nothing like having liners endure some hard work, so here is a smudge test, because curse those eyelashes that fall into your eye from time to time, resulting in a smudging hassle ಠ_ಠ

Oh boy. ._.''

You poor, poor liquid liner.

Can't say too much about the gel/cream liner, it did hold up pretty well considering it's creamy consistency.

And again, the automatic liner clings like iron.

"BABY WON'T YOU TELL ME WHY, THERE IS SADNESS IN YOUR EYES" Sorry, been serenading my dog with that song all day--but you get the drift--it's a tear/water test. 

Eyeliner gods HAVE MERCY ON THIS LIQUID LINER WHY??!

Ink literally ran off into the sink in a heartbeat.

The other two liners still held up pretty well with a small amount of water applied with rubbing/smudging motions though. There still is some additional smudging, but nothing significant and extremely noticeable.

EDIT: THIS IS WHY I'M NOT A SCIENTIST, I make conclusions without finishing/trying all possibilities, damnit Vanessa.

The automatic eyeliner can actually be built up pretty dark, and I've compared it to my other black eyeliner, the Rimmel Soft Kohl liner, as well as the super dark liquid eye pen.

Final Thoughts/Comments

- Damnit Revlon, you did a terrible job with the liquid liner. Which is a shame too because this liner is so incredibly easy to use. Unfortunately it smudges, is definitely not waterproof, and goes crazy on my oily lids. -sigh-

- The gel/cream liner is fabulous, and I personally like the brush + glass packaging, but if you're after the blackest of the black gel liner, skip this one.

- Today I found out if you do two layers of the automatic liner, you can get a pretty decent black instead of just a grey-black achieved with one swipe as seen in the photos above. EDIT: Actually goes pretty dark!

- Also totally unrelated, but I found out Facebook has Pusheen the Cat conversation stickers and now I can't stop using them

Sorry not sorry.

Anyways, I hope you found this post interesting? Insightful?....lousy? Either way, suckers, you got to the end of this post HAHAHAHAHA.
