Review: Essence Gel Eyeliner in Midnight in Paris

Essence - an amazing European brand which manages to churn out high quality products at a cheap (very cheap, oh so cheap) price. I am a little bit in love, currently owning 2 lipsticks, a concealer and this lovely gel eyeliner.

Oh this magical eyeliner. I am so impressed, I may have to renounce my love for Rimmel Professional liquid eyeliner (well, almost).  It is soft, it has an amazing consistency which is definitely a gel, not a hard waxy problem like some I have tried, and it is waterproof. I don't think it is that waterproof, as it started to smudge in the rain at Big Day Out, but it managed to last through a 12 hour day, only smudging towards the end.

Also, it is SO BLACK. So insanely black. So AMAZINGLY black.

Plus, it cost me $5.95 full price. Essence is constantly on sale at Target (Australian Stockist) as well, so you can get it for even cheaper. Which just blows my mind, considering the Australian prices of most products generally! 



I couldn't resist giving it a go before taking photos, so sorry for the brush marks in the pot! I did try to take photos before I messed it up too much though, I wouldn't want you all thinking I was unprofessional!
