Collection Fast Stroke Eye Liner First Impression

After Suzie from 'HelloOctoberxo' mentioned this product on her channel several times, I just knew it had to be good. I bought it today and gave it a go straight away and here's what I thought.

RRP: £2.99

PROS:

• This liner claims to be for 'precision & definition' and its sturdy nib fully allows it to do so. The stiffness of the nib allows precise application and with the point, it means for a perfect flic

• The actual colour of the 'ink' is super black, and not greyish like many drugstore black eye liners.

• It is in general quite a foolproof eye liner and easy to use, so perfect for beginners.

• When tugging at the liner after being on for about 5 minutes it successfully passed the smudge test as I didn't turn into a panda.

• If eye liners like the 'Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner' annoy you because they require a lot of rubbing to get off, you'll like this one. Using the 'Garnier Micellar Water' and a cotton pad, the eye liner came off super easily without any need of irritating my eye area to attempt to remove it.

CONS:

• I find the nib to be relatively thick and doesn't taper out till very close to the tip. Due to this, I found it relatively difficult to apply a thin line so I wouldn't say this eye liner is great for that. However, with patience and a steady hand, I'm sure you could still get a thin line out of this, I'm just saying it's better for thicker lines when used on its side.

• I know I used it as a pro, but its ease of coming off could be a con. It leads me to believe that it may not be incredibly long lasting, but I haven't worn it for a long period of time so it may well be.

• When I did the smudge test, although it didn't smudge, it lost some colour and turned grey. Although not a major problem as you probably won't be tugging at your eye all day, it's still something to bear in mind.

Overall, there were more pros than cons. I really do like this eye liner as the cons were only very minor things which I felt the need to point out or there would be none. Just a side note, if you're wondering about the finish, it applies glossy then dries to matte/satin finish. 

I give this eye liner a 4/5. It definitely gives my favourite Stila eye liner a run for its money!
