One of my recent drugstore finds is from CoverGirl as they rolled out their latest liner, the Liquiline Blast. A double-sided pencil that includes a creamy liner and a rubbery tapered tip, it’s meant for close-lid application with the option to smudge, smoke and glide for an unexpected pop of color. While the line includes both trusty stand-by shades of black and brown, they also have some fun options including a jewel-toned purple and a royal-blue hue. Just eyeing the pencil from the package, I thought it would be a great way to utilize color and quickly snatched up the blue option (CG’s Liquiline in Blue Boom).
Upon application, I found that the pencil went on smoothly, packing a hefty amount of pigment which looked unbelievably gorge considering the color. Because the finish was so creamy, I didn’t even need the tapered end to smudge, and could easily disperse the color with the tip of my finger. I envisioned this as a great compliment to a layered look, or pairing with a black liner for a two-toned effect (–a black lined rim with the blue to follow above the lash-line).
My complaints? Not many for the price-point, however I would have loved for a little more hold as the uber creamy base made smudging almost inevitable (a primer or setting powder is a must!). All in all I thought it was a pretty great find, and can’t wait to wear it out for a night on the town.

What’s your favorite pick for jewel-toned liners?
xx.
I am obsessed with the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On eye liners. The color Covet is my favorite, it’s a gorgeous teal and it lasts. It’s definitely worth the price. L’Oreal Hip also has some great metallic purple and black creamy liners I loved too.
I feel WAYS about UD 24/7 liners, the consistency of the pencil is ridic. Love your picks!
I just did a comparison between this and LOreal Extra Intense – check me out on Friday to see it!
Good post!
