I have been using eyeliners since I was old enough to wear make-up and I have been though them all, trying to find the best one out there. I have tried expensive products even cheap products. I wear eyeliner every single day so when I'm looking for a eyeliner I want it to last all day and nothing that will break the bank, as I need to buy it at least once every 2 months.
Products I have tried and tested
Rimmel liquid eyeliner: As a last resort Rimmel has always been their for me, when I haven't had the funds also when I was younger Rimmel was the only product around.The brush glides on the eye lovely very smooth product. Its a great product it lasts but not all day. It does fade throughout the day. Its not as striking its quite a faded product.Price: £4.99
Product rating: *** 3/5
Mac tattoo liquid eyeliner pen: I bought this product whilst in LA a couple of years ago the sales adviser really sold it to me, when I tested it on my hand, it was so opaque it looked great. I used it continuously for 2 weeks and which the heat it lasted pretty well. But after those 2 weeks the eyeliner had ran out I was so disappointed. As it wasn't that cheap compared to what I usually pay. This eyeliner was a pen which in my opinion does run out very quickly compared to others.
Price: $18.00

Collection 2000 liquid eyeliner: I bought this eyeliner a while ago, someone told me it was a great liquid eyeliner and it lasts all day, well they were wrong, this eyeliner was terrible. The application was rough and it wasn't smooth at all. It also peeled off throughout the day so I would find bits of it on my face which would then leave marks on my face not a great product at all.
Price: £3.00

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner: I had this as a birthday present from my house mate, as I'm such an eyeliner fan. I was always asking her about it and she said its a great product. And it was I loved this product its great for going on a night out if you want a strong looking eyeliner. The only problem I found was that its not so great if on your the go as it needs an eyeliner brush for application. The gel was very smooth to put on a glided lovely especially when you are wearing eyelashes for a night out. I lasted a while but its not a product I can afford if I'm wearing it everyday.
Price: £22.00

Topshop liquid eyeliner: I cannot boast enough about this product it is absolutely amazing and I am so upset that Topshop don't sell it anymore. This product is amazing, I bought it as someone had recommended it to me and having discount I thought it would give it a go. And I'm glad i did. the application is very smooth and it lasts all day! also this product has lasted me a year and its still going strong. This product is great value for money. Whilst working in America I was worried it would run out, so I bought one Rimmel eyeliner with me to tide me over. I didn't use it once. I love this product, because it lasted so long. Whilst I was in New York I asked the make-up adviser in Topshop if they had the product to see if I was in any luck. But no they didn't stock it anymore but she did say that it will be back soon, its out of season at the moment so fingers crossed and It might make a comeback. So PLEASE Topshop bring it back.

Topshop Magic Eyeliner pen: After being astounded by Topshop's eyeliner product and it being discontinued I thought I would give this product a go. Its a lovely product glides on smoothly and very handy for on the go as its a pen. It does go on smoothly like the other Topshop product but i don't think it lasts all day. But Topshop must be doing something right with their make-up products as it hasn't ran out yet. and I don't have a great expectation for pen eyeliners. But its still going and I have had it for about 6 months now. I thought it was a lovely product but just to tide me over from missing out on the other eyeliner. Amy used this product and she wasn't to impressed with it.
Price: £6.00

Sephora Liquid eyeliner : As much as I LOVE the Topshop product, this product is amazing. I bought this product whilst in Hawaii, whilst visiting some of the Sephora stores I tested out some of the eyeliner products and thought why not give this one a chance its cheap and from previous sephora products I have had they have been pretty good. I actually should be thankful that Sephora isn't in this country as I would be constantly poor. This Store is a mecca for make-up lovers all brands under one roof including their own brand which is so good. This eyeliner product is amazing it may be a little bit better than the Topshop eyeliner. But we shall see how long it lasts iv had it since September and its still going strong. This product glides perfectly and is so dark really stands and lasts ALL day. I can go to work in the morning and going out after work for drinks without topping up my eyeliner its great for someone on the go who doesn't have time to top-up. All round amazing product. I wish they sold this product in the UK, the closest store is Paris. But I'm sure they deliver to the UK I will have to investigate. I wouldn't use any other product........unless Topshop bring their eyeliner out again then I wont have to travel to France to buy my eyeliner.
Price $13.00
Product rating ***** 5/5 ( I would give it 10/10)
