L'oreal Super Liner

my first beauty product post! i didn't think i'd do this but i was so excited at getting it (mostly) right that i thought i should just post. i have loved the winged eyeliner look for ages now and bought a Red Earth liquid eyeliner, like, maybe 2 years ago, to try it, but it was disasterous every time. thanks to my clumsy and impatient nature, i was never able to get it right.

went shopping with K last week and saw this in Watson's at Sarawak Plaza. when i opened the tester, the tip looked pretty user-friendly so i decided to give it a go, for RM37.30 (which is, i admit, pretty damn expensive for a liner).

the colour i got is black and the packaging proclaims it to be an 'ultra-lasting, precision tip liner'. the end is tapered for better hold, i guess? i'd tested it on the back of my hand in the store and it seemed to be pretty steady, but when i got home and tried it on my eye, it smudged all over the place :~ guess i was pretty kanchiong about going to church as well so i didn't do it as slowly as i should have.

i read in a magazine somewhere that, if you're a liquid liner 'virgin', you should wait till you are about to take off your makeup for the day to try it out, as you'd be wiping evrything off your face anyway. so i did, today. this time i did it pretty slowly, just right above my lashes.
and it came out not-badly! the thick, somewhat stiff tip (like a felt pen) helps you to control your movement quite well. i first dragged the tip on the edge of the container so as not to have too much product on the tip and started lining about one-third of the way after the inner eye.
flicked the tip upwards to create the winged effect and voila! not-too-shabby liquid lined eyes! yayyy i'm so happy~ now i have wait for an occasion to try this out :) the 'wings' aren't as well defined or as winged as i would like, but still, it's a start :) worth 2 years and RM37.30?
