I was in our local Unichem picking up a script and started looking at some sample liners on the counter. The sales lady told me these particular liners were exceptionally good value for money, only $5.00 each and also made in Germany which I guess must be good. There was an awful lot of colours to choose from, several shades of black, brown, blue, turquoise, gold, you name it, they had it. So I finally chose the deep bronze colour which looked like a dark brown. It is a soft and creamy, highly pigmented formula that glides on easily, doesn't smudge once it is set and lasts all day for me. Easily sharpened, just put in fridge beforehand. I highly recommend this liner.

Tips: I have since heard that these are even cheaper at Postie Plus.
I wanted to give these a try after being gifted a La girl lip liner. What I notice about La girl is that some products are better than others. I got my eye liner from a dollar store in Papamoa . Couldn't wait to try it out.
These pencils come in a variety of colours. I chose a Black pencil because it's a staple colour in my make up looks. This pencil is a normal size has the La girl labelling on it. Consistency of this is smooth. Smoother than other gel pencils I've tried. Has no scent at all.
Before I apply I always sharpen it. It didn't have any breakage in between sharpening. It glides on my lower and upper lash line easily. I find it easy to blend out. I got about 3 hours solid wear time and it did begin fade on my lower lash line. In summer this eye liner is susceptible to heat and will need storing in a cool place.
These pencils are pocket friendly . Their easy to find at selected stores. I only paid three dollars at the time. After trying this colour I would Definately like to try some brighter colours out. Definately recommend trying these out.
I'm a huge stickler when it comes to eyeliners. I've tried many over the years that have sadly been a disappointment - not black enough, too smudgy, hard to work with etc.
However I'm happy to report that this one is not any of those disappointments.
It does exactly what it says it does and that is that it glides on easily. It has a slightly creamy/gel type texture that shows great pigmentation.
I bought these in 3 shades - Deep Black, Whiten and Royal Blue. I really like the Royal Blue, really makes me eyes pop and I've had a few compliments when wearing this. The Whiten - I'm not quite sure whether I'm doing this one right but I find it too thick and gluggy, not like the other two. The Deep Black is my favourite and will be my go to eyeliner in the future.
I just wanted to note also that I have super sensitive eyes and I find it hard to find an eyeliner that does not irritate or make my eyes itch. This one is great for those with eye sensitivity.
The big question - does it smudge? If I'm honest yes it does a little but that is only if you rub your eyes like I sometimes do and I forget I have it on and wallah - black panda emerges. It will also depend on the season at the time too - in the summer time I would highly recommend using some form of a setting spray or powder if that is a possibility with eyeliner. Need to look into that part a bit more.
Highly recommend and I would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the Whiten not being so great.
I was really surprised by these liners. I bought a couple of these as they were such a good price and thought it really didnt matter if they turned out to be terrible.
I've had a few LA Girl products that I havent loved so I didnt have super high hopes for these. However I was very wrong.
These were really easy to use they really did just glide along my lash line super smoothly. The formula is creamy and super pigmented. I was worried that these would only last a few hours, but these held up all day until I took my makeup off which I was really happy with especially considering the price they really exceeded expectations.
I did run into a bit of trouble when I had to sharpen one of these but I used a normal pencil sharpener so really my own fault I have lost my cosmetic sharpener so I wont hold it against them.
I will definately be buying more of these in different colours
