Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink) Review

Hey guys, today's post is a review of the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in the colour (Black Ink). I got this Eyeliner a few months ago in my duty free haul on the way to France and because I got it duty free, I got it for €19.10 whereas it retails at about €27. This is very expensive for an eyeliner but I'd heard great things about Bobbi Brown products so I thought I would see if it was worth the hype. This eyeliner is easy to put on, I usually put it on using my Sigma E65 small angle brush and it glides along my lid without tugging. It lasts all day long and by the time I go to bed that night it still looks the same as when I put it on, but it's also pretty easy to remove and doesn't feel like you've got cement stuck to your eyelids. The one thing that I don't like about this product other than the cost is that I feel the colour doesn't come out that Black and it's the blackest one they have. I feel like I have to keep going over it to get it as Black as I want otherwise I feel that it appears slightly grey but I do still like wearing it.

Although I do like this eyeliner and will keep using it until it's gone, I don't think that I would repurchase it because I don't feel that it is worth the price. I have used a lot of much cheaper eyeliners that are way more pigmented and I just don't think I would spend the money on this again. Some of my favourite cheap eyeliners are the Essence gel eyeliner which is only €3.99 and the Essence eyeliner pen which is only €2.99 (Click Here to see my review of the Essence eyeliner pen). Even though I didn't love this product, I haven't given up hope on all Bobbi Brown products because their concealer is my absolute favourite at the moment.

Friday Favourite #20 : Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer

Hey guys, today's Friday Favourite is the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in the colour Beige. I got this concealer in my duty free haul on the way to France for €19.95. It is a corrector for under eye circles and I am always looking for a good concealer for under my eyes so I thought I would splurge a little and see if this one would work. You may already know from reading my blog that I have been on the hunt for the ultimate concealer but haven't been able to find one that's good enough to be able to cover up my dark circles. I'm not sure I've found it yet but this is the best concealer for under eyes that I've found so far.

It's really creamy, easy to apply and provides a great amount of coverage. Because this concealer is a corrector, it is a peach-based tone to help neutralize under eye circles. If a concealer is pink or peach- based, it will cover dark circles better than a concealer that isn't so it's better to choose a concealer that is made specifically to cover dark circles. It is very travel friendly and comes with a small mirror attached as the lid. You can easily apply it with your finger but i prefer to use the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush (which comes in the RT Starter Kit with 4 other brushes for €20) because I think it helps me build a bit more coverage.

My problem with this concealer is the price, €19.95 is a lot to pay for a concealer no matter how good it is and I don't think there is anywhere near where I live that sells Bobbi Brown so I'm not sure if I will be repurchasing this product. I think I will still continue my hunt to find the ultimate concealer, focusing more on finding a cheaper one. I'm dying to try out the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer which is a lot cheaper than the Bobbi Brown one, and I've heard rave reviews about it, but if that one turns out not to be that good, I'll make sure to go straight back to Bobbi Brown.
