Eye's Chic Liquid Gillter Eye Liner/Eyelash Glue - A Dupe For MAC Liquidlast Eyeliner?

HELLO! I am sure most of you would've tried the MAC Liquidlast eyeliners and found them to be great in regard to staying power. I've tried the MAC liquidlast eyeliners and found them to be a must've product for special occasions such as weddings, parties or even for very hot summer days as these eyeliners DO NOT budge or fade away and stay put even in the most challenging weather conditions!

There is no doubt that MAC Liquidllast eyeliners fall into my top 5 eyeliners list but then I always try out new things and so I recently came across the Eye's Chic Gillter Eye Liner ($8.30) from KKCenterhk, which is supposed to be a black Eyelashes Glue (!!) and I accidentally discovered it had a great potential in becoming a cheaper alternative to the infamous MAC liquidlast eyeliners! Yes ladies, I'm SERIOUSLY impressed with the staying power of my newly acquired Eye's Chic Gillter Eye Liner!

I don't know why they have named it as a 'Gillter' eye liner, I suppose its supposed to to be a pun on the word Glitter as the word 'Gillter' is something I never heard of and I even did a dictionary search to no avail but then all said and done the product is great so I'll say all is well that ends well!

There is nothing fancy about the packaging, as it's basically simple, though I would've liked it if along with the name 'Eye's Chic', the bottle had some kind of description printed over it.

Below I've swatched my old favorite Miss Sporty Eyeliner along with the Eye's Chich Eye Liner. As you can see from the swatch the tip on the Eye's Chic Eyeliner is slightly wider in comparison to that of Miss Sporty. The Eye's chic eyeliner has a more shiny appearance and looks a lot more black & it's almost like a blackest black due to the higher intensity of black pigmentation in it.

The rubbing test- The eye's chic eye liner will stay on no matter how hard you rub! You can see from the above pic that my skin turned red from rubbing hard but I could not budge the Eye's chic eyeliner...it blows Miss Sporty eye liner out of water when it comes to staying power!

Eye's Chic eye liner also works great as an eyelash glue! I've tried it on my Revlon eyelashes and it holds the them right in place. So there you see, you can do two things with one - use it as a eyelash glue and also as an eyeliner!

I clicked some pics to show you how it looks when worn as an eyeliner....

What I dislike:
Again it has to be the staying power as this eyeliner as it's a pain to remove and you need to use a strong make up remover for it. I won't be using it as an every day eyeliner as I do not want my skin around the delicate eye region to develop pre-mature wrinkling due to regular pulling, peeling and tugging to remove the eyeliner!

Overall I am chuffed to have discovered this little gem and will surely repurchase it in the future!

Have you tried out the Eye's Chic Liquid Gillter Eye liner/Eyelash glue?

Revlon Beyond Natural Lashes & Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive Review

Hi all!
Today I am going to talk to you about a set of interesting products - The Revlon Beyond Natural and The Revlon Precision Adhesive! They were sent to me by Revlon PR who wanted me to try them on and give an opinion.


91169 and 91170 comes in a box with one pair of professional grade eyelashes retail for £3.99 and 91155 and 91148 come with two pairs each and retail for £6.59. They are currently available at Boots under a buy one get second at half price offer!

I received the following four Revlon Eyelashes for review. Now let me go in to a bit more in detail about each of them:-
  • 91169 Long Volumising - They are quite long and pointed and give definition to your eyes when used. After using them I feel they are best suited for night outs and parties as they give a dramatic look and might not be suited for everyday use. They are a bit shiny in appearance but this could be toned down by coating a layer of mascara over it.

No. 91169-For dramatic lashes, great for night outs and parties
  • 91170 3x Dramatic Volume - Compared to the 91169 these eyelashes are shorter in length but denser in appearance.These help to give a lot of volume to your eyes [3x times!] & are good for creating a cartoon or 'Anime' like effect on your eyes!
  • 91155 Intensifying - They give definition to your eyes yet also look natural in appearance! Can be used while you go to college or office and no one will notice you are wearing false eyelashes!

No. 91155-For ' your lashes but better' effect
  • 91148 Defining - They are more defining than the 91155! They are quite pointed, sharp and long in appearance and this plays a lot in giving definition to your eyes while at the same time they can be used during the day as they are not way too intensifying.
Now for an overall opinion about all the four eyelashes:-
  • Easy to use
  • Ultra light weight and lasted for a whole day on me!
  • Looks natural in appearance.
  • Can be re used many times.
  • "step by step" instructions on the back of the case is useful for you beginners out there!
Now for the review of the Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive 91147:-
It comes with a very thin fibre tip brush which I like as it helps in ultra precise application on eyelashes. The glue comes out white initially so you can see where you applied it and after 15-20 seconds they turn clear and transparent and I feel this is a plus point. They are latex free and water proof! Latex allergy sufferers will especially love this product as its used on a sensitive area [the eyes]! My verdict- I am loving the glue, it works really well with the eyelashes, It holds so well and if you follow directions, it works! Precision Lash Adhesive is available for £4.99 at Boots.

The final verdict - These eyelashes from Revlon, a trusted brand, didn't disappoint me and I am happy to have them in my make up kit!
