Hello there my lovelies, this is the first in a new series of posts, 'Five favourite __ products under £5' and i'm kicking it all off with the eyes. It's all about the eyes, windows into your soul and such… This, is the MUA LUXE Felt Eyeliner Pen, and ohmygod do I love it! I've gone through my fair share of eyeliners, felt tip and normal, and this one, is the best. I've had this since November and it's still going strong. Whereas others would have dried out (Rimmel Scandaleyes I'm looking at you) or been too watery/not black enough (Bourjois …something, it was so bad, I actually threw it away. I never throw away makeup) but this gorgeousness from MUA, ugh, I adore it.
This pen is easy to control, and gives a precise line, even if you're a bit unsure when it comes to liquid eyeliner. What I like about the packaging is that fact that it's sturdy, and feels good in your hand when you apply it, which I know is a little bit silly, but if it feels good and is easy to control, it's a winner, yes? Plus, the price is an absolute steal. £3. Yep. £3. I remember seeing this product in Superdrug and thinking 'Why not? It's only £3', with hindsight… I should have bought three of them, because I love it that much. It gives such a precise, very black line, and that's what I want from a liner; none of this wishy-washy not quite black nonsense, what I want is a ridiculously black line, and this MUA offering delivers. I know it doesn't look very spectacular, and quite unassuming with it's sleek and simplistic packaging (black and gold is always a winner) but this product, for me, is pure gold.
I think the most impressive fact for me, is that it has yet to dry out. I use it on average, three/four times a week, and I've had it since November. It's insane. I just cannot recommend this product enough, and I think it's a fantastic offering to start my little 'Eyes under £5' theme. Don't let my swatches below fool you, it is very easy to do thinner lines, I just get a bit heavy handed when swatches need to be done (and I may have gotten too excited…).
What do you think of this eyeliner? Are there any others that you'd recommend? What are your favourite eye products under £5? Can I tempt you to try this piece of gorgeousness? Let me know (: xx
Oh darn! I wanted to buy this a few weeks ago when I ordered from MUA but I kept thinking "No, it'll just dry out super fast and you won't get to use it" - seems like a bit of a mistake!
ReplyDeleteSeems like I'll have to get it very soon!

I think that's the fear with most eyeliners, but this one is amazing, and totally worth a swatch or two if you see it next (:

Oh wow, that is a really dark and precise line! I stupidly forgot to cap my last felt tip eyeliner so of course that dried out...haven't been bothered to pick up another since but I will give this a go!
