Back with another edition of SPLURGE or STEAL: this time it’s the battle of the gel eyeliners. Gel eyeliner rapidly gained popularity in the mainstream thanks to its impressive results in the cat-eye department, and its set-it-and-forget-it staying power. I’ve long used Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear gel eyeliner but these two drugstore renditions have me swooning. And I’ll never go back to the high-end stuff.
I’m a little afraid to apply gel liner myself, but I love the way it looks. And since you’ve pointed out the less expensive brands I think I’ll try it, and it won’t hurt my pocketbook if it doesn’t work out.-Ash

I love the splurge vs. steal posts! Thanks for researching for us :)I think you should do a video showing how to put on the gel eyeliner. I use a liquid eyeliner pen but am not sure how to use the gel eyeliner..

I have the Smashbox Gel Liner compact with a variety of colors. They really disappoint, for the price I need better quality. I end up with a black line on my crease. Maybe the drugstore can help 🙂
My cheap chic HG for gel liner is actually the ELF cream liner. I LOVE it!
Me too! Love this stuff.
I am really bad with eyeliners, but this maybelline is the best! Whoever worked on this little brush is a genius! It is so easy to use.
what is the price of the l’oreal one? 🙂
Picked up the L’Oreal liner based on your recommendation. Puts the MAC liner to shame. Thank you!!
Awesome! Love these posts! You have the most informative blog and I love it!
thank you! i’m glad you like these posts 🙂
Great produce review. Just wondering how you clean the brushes after use.
Glam Girl Naturals has great gel eyeliners! You can get them for $15, and they are great bc they are all natural, gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. Plus they last FOREVER, which is a great deal for the money!
