I received this at the New CID event in my goodie bag and so have had this for a while but I used it properly for the first time today. I'm not so much of an eye liner girl, so the thought of a gel eyeliner scared me a little? I'm not really a fan of change, and not really having the best technique I was a little apprehensive, but in fact I really enjoyed using it.
New CID Cosmetics i-gel comes in quite a huge box for such a small product, and inside is the i-gel trio compact and a brush.
There is three shades in the little mirrored pot; Granite, Graphite and Carbon. I'm wearing Carbon here, which is a pretty Black Black.
The consistency of the product really surprised me, in the packaging it looks like it would be a lot harder than it actually is. It's really soft and glides out very nicely. One tiny bit on the brush lines my eye, without having to apply any more. However, this would obviously differ from person to person.
I put this on at about 10am this morning, and now, at 5pm it is still in the same position and the colour hasn't faded at all. Now, not being a super eyeliner fan, I'm not overly sure what one looks for in good qualities, but I'm guessing the product not fading away or moving is a brilliant thing.
This brush works really well with the product and is the perfect size for a nice application.
This product is available in two other trios; Bronze, Copper & Stone and Emerald and Indigo & Midnight Blue. Different shades compliment different skin tones and eye colours but I imagine the Carbon, Granite and Graphite is most popular.
This is available on the New CID Cosmetics website here and costs £21.50.
If I do opt for a lined eye, I usually use my L'oreal Super Liner in Carbon Gloss, which costs a little over £5 and works perfectly, so I do think that maybe this would be a little pricey for someone like me that doesn't use a liner as a day to day product.
Have you used this product or any other gel eyeliner?
