Covergirl Liquiline Blast review

Hey:) Y'all keeping cool?

I've had these for a while but I really like them, so lemme review the Covergirl Liquiline Blast in green and blue. Those aren't the actual names of the colors, but I threw out the packaging a while ago. They were pretty cheap, maybe $4 at CVS.

I like these. I'm sure they're supposed to be colored eyeliner, and I feel like the colors will look good on anyone. The green makes my eyes pop a bit but is very faint. The blue is so brilliant, and really pretty :)

The product goes on smoothly with no smudging throughout the day. They fade a bit in the water but they don't go all over the place. At the end, each has a rubber "smudger" tool, but it tugs on my eyes more than it smudges, so I don't really like that.

I give this product a 7/10. I wish it came in more colors:(

Ulta Automatic Eyeliner, Ulta Gel Eye Liner, Ulta Kohl Eye Liner

This post is in honor of Ellen A. :D



I'm an eyeliner junkie, in case you couldn't tell. For the longest time I used automatic eyeliner because it was nice not having to sharpen the thing. I just screwed it up and down. No dirty pun intended.

Today's review is for the Automatic Eye Liner in Chocolate (which is a medium brown), Gel Eye Liner in Envy (a deep green), and Kohl Eye Liner in Brown. They're about 2-4 dollars at Ulta if you buy two.




And here are the color swatches!! (I only have swatches for the Brown and Envy because my Chocolate ran out...sorry!)

Brown on the left, Envy on the right.
First up: the automatic liner.
It's supposed to be waterproof and long lasting. This goes on very smoothly. The color is either not very pigmented or not as dark as I'd like because I have to reapply maybe 3 times to get it to show up on my skin. It doesn't come with a sharpener so after 3 uses, the top is very dull and creates a thick line. It smudges off very easily and by the end of 2 hours, I look like a raccoon without ever having touched my eyes. I have no idea why I used it for so long except maybe because I thought all liners were the same? Innocent me. I give it a 3/10

Second: the gel liner
Basically, a gel liner in pencil form. It is sharpen-able, which is nice :D I don't mind sharpening now that I've dealt with the automatic and the dull point. It goes on very smoothly. IT DOESN'T SMUDGE!! It stays put for 8ish hours (the longest I've worn it). It's very pigmented, it only takes one stroke for the color to go on rich and dark. I give it a 9/10 :D If only it came in electric colors. It does come in purple, green, black, and brown.

Third: kohl
This goes on smoothly. Not as deeply pigmented as the gel liner but not as faint as the automatic. I find that it doesn't smudge but it does fade a bit after 3 hours. It works nicely for day time since I don't like my makeup to be so dark during the day. I give it a 7/10. It does its job.
