Review: Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Gel Eyeliner

Lasting Colour Gel eyeliner is one of the new editions to the Collection 2000 range. After trying the Matt lip creams, and the powder and being impressed I thought I'd give this new product a go. The gel eyeliner comes in four shades: Black, Brown, Gold and Teal. They retail at £4.99, and are available from Superdrug and Boots.

It comes in a small box, equipped with a mini applicator. 

The box has instructions on the back on how to apply it, as well as a diagram. 

Here's a closer look....

Wow...

I'm so happy I decided to try this amazing new eyeliner! I've never really tired gel eyeliner before, but now I'm in love with it! This is really pigmented, and you can tell from the swatch above. That was only 1 swipe, so you don't have to keep going over it to get a more opaque finish. I only used a tiny amount too, so your getting even more for your money. Collection 2000's website claim the gel eyeliner provides 12 hour wear, however I managed to get a full day with no fading, smudging or eyeliner all over my lid. That was with eyeshadow primer though. From the appearance of the product on the eye, you wouldn't thing at all that this was a high street eyeliner! 

Due to my lack of eye brushes, I thought I would try it with the applicator provided with the eyeliner. I liked the finish look it gave, and it distributed the eyeliner fairly across the lid. But I would certainly say invest in a eyeliner brush if you don't already have one. Especially if you want a thin line, and want to wing it out. Anyone recommend a good eyeliner brush? 

The packaging is your classical glass pot, as you get with most gel eyeliner. The lid is plastic but still sturdy so the product stays nice and safe. I really like how Collection 2000 have concentrated on the product, rather then the packaging. As sometimes you can end up buying things just for the packaging right?

I just can't get enough of this product! And I will probably end up going out and purchasing the other 3 shades. I love everything about this product, pigmentation, lasting power, price tag and packaging. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of gel eyeliner, eyeliner or even trying out in gel eyeliner like me. It doesn't dry up in the pot either, so its definitely worth the £4.99!
