LA Girl Glide Gel Liner Review

I found the champagne coloured gel liner from L.A. Girl in my mother's makeup bag a couple of years ago I believe and decided to try it on my inner corner. I became hooked!! It has the prettiest champagne gold highlight that just opens your eyes and brightens them. When I can't be bothered wearing a full face of makeup I'll just apply this on my lower lash like and inner corner, pop on some mascara, and I feel good to face the world. The creaminess of the gel formula makes it truly glide on with ease, it also makes it easy to blend. But it sets in place and lasts all day too! Now I need to go out and buy more colours.

For those wondering, yes I have bought my own champagne gel liner and no longer use my mother's haha.

I was wandering around life pharmacy when I saw these wee beauties. They had a buy 2 get 1 free so I thought why not give them a go. They are $8 each normally. I got 2 black auto liners and a gel pencil in a gorgeous dark metallic purple.

I don't wear eyeliner too often as I hate when it goes all above my eyelids and is too high maintenance, but these are just so great! Nice creamy formula which glides easily onto my lids. No tugging at all and the colour is very pigmented. What more can I ask for.

Once applied the eyeliner stays put! It does not budge at all. I need a heavy duty eye make up remover for this. Such a great eyeliner for such a low price. It sharpens easily and I have not had it break off at all.

I want to try more colours in this range, especially the blue. Highly recommend these and I think you can pick them up even cheaper elsewhere.

I have these in two colours (gold and purple) and they both work great. Easy to apply and have great lasting power!

Coloured eyeliners are an absolute staple for me - they're a simple way to create a day look with a bit of punch, or as the base for a more intense shadow look.

LA Girl Gel Liners are surprisingly awesome. Surprising because they are inexpensive, that is. These little gems are well able to compete with the pricier brands.

I have this in the shade 'Paradise Purple' which is a rich amethyst shade that is well pigmented. The creamy gel formula means you get a decent, solid line on the first swipe.

The colour lasts a decent time given the price - certainly gets me through my work day - and sits nicely on the eyelid or lash line without a lot of bleeding or smearing.

Great on it's own; even better blended in with a teal and a pink, or underneath a purple, pink, or bright look - but I've used it well with black and silver too.

Also great on lower lashline :)

My only critique - I can't remember where I got this one and haven't found them since!!

Also, it would be nice to be able to sharpen it to a slightly finer point.

I am so impressed with this liner. It is super cheap,, really pigmented and has great saying power.

The packaging on this is nice. It's an allover black with a base and writing that matches the color of the liner. This would be really handy if you have a few of these and want to easily find a color. The cap is clear and fits on really securely, I'm not concerned that it will fall off at all.

The actual liner is really creamy and soft. You do not need to push hard at all on your eyes to get color pay off. I do find its a little hard to sharpen though and it breaks off easily. I do probably need a better sharpener though.

I've used this on my upper and lower lash line plus my waterline. It stays about half the day in my waterline which is pretty decent but what amazes me the most is how it won't budge on my upper lash line. I usually can't wear pencil liners up there because i will get ugly transfer marks. This stays exactly where i put it and lasts all day.

i have the color royal blue which a medium, metallic blue. It's really pretty and i love how it looks with a neutral eyeshadow look.

i definitely want to buy more of these. I purchased this one on beauty joint, i had a look in my local postie plus but they didn't have this brand which was a shame. I totally recommend this liner to anyone who is looking for an affordable pencil liner from their collection.

When I first bought it I was a bit apprehensive due to the price, but I once I tried it I fell in love. It has amazing staying power, comes in a range of colours and has a beautiful creamy texture. It is simply a pleasure to use. I especially love their bronzey browny colour as it is super wearable, and a nice alternative to brown.

I'm totally new to the LA Girl brand and because the products are totally affordable I decided to try a few.

This eyeliner is fantastic value for money. It is super pigmented. I got a dark blue and I just cant get over how gorgeous the colour is.

It has a lovely creamy texture and no drag when applying. I wear it a good eight house and only wears off a little. If you were wanting to do a smokey look this blends quite well.

There's no smell(that I can smell) and its a twist up eyeliner rather than pencil, which I prefer anyway

I love a good richly pigmented smudgy eyeliner pencil, but unfortunately most pencils that fit that description continue to smudge throughout the day… and I DON’T love ending up with streaks of eyeliner all over my eyelids and halfway down my face. This is why, when I purchased this LA Girl gel pencil, I was happily surprised and quickly convinced of its awesomeness.

I have mine in the shade Dark Brown, which is a lovely deep chocolatey brown that’s dark enough to be defining without being as harsh as black. I love the packaging for these pencils – the main casing is black, but the pattern, bottom and writing is in the colour of the actual pencil, which makes it easy to find in the makeup drawer.

The pencil itself is extremely creamy and extremely pigmented. I don’t have to press hard or tug when drawing across my lashline, and it’s basically a pleasure to apply. It takes about 30 seconds to set properly, so that gives time to smudge it out further if needed, but once it’s set it doesn’t budge. I don’t have any problems with it travelling anywhere else on my face (yay! haha), and it even holds up pretty well in the inner part of my eyelid (I tend to rub my eyes, so most things don’t last through that, but this pretty much does), and the colour doesn’t fade away during the day either. I don’t ever apply it to my waterline, as I don’t like how that looks on me, so I can’t comment on staying power there, but I imagine it would last well compared to a normal pencil liner.

My only complaint with this is that because the pencil is so soft and creamy it can be a bit hard to sharpen easily, although a good cosmetic sharpener is definitely better than a normal pencil sharpener. Apart from that, however, this is a seriously great, inexpensive eyeliner that lasts amazingly. I’m definitely planning on picking up some of the other colours soon!

LA Girl has become a bit of a new 'it' range. So when I needed to replace my eyeliner, I picked up one of these.

They are a fantastic price (though mine was $6 not $4) so I didn't expect them to last all day. They do however, and are actually quite hard to remove at night.

The pencil glides smoothly as promised with the gel formula. My only complaint is that the only line you can really get is a thick smudgy one, which is ok for people like me who like that, but not ideal for people who like a more subtle or precise line. And for that reason it also doesn't make my go to list.

Being a pencil you have to sharpen it, which I found really daunting because it looked a bit too solid to sharpen. I followed the general gel pencil rules of freeze for 5+ minutes first and use a cosmetic pencil sharpen. However it can be done without freezing and with a normal sharpener. But the pencil doesn't create as good of a point.

I would use it again as it is a cheap everyday liner. But I would probably also get a second liner for more precise lines.

I have this gel liner in a beautiful reddy gold colour. It's super creamy and lasts on my eyes all day. I was on the search for a gold liner and for the price, this cant be beaten. It doesn't apply well to the waterline but it's great apart from that!
