Love the look of the product. Cute.

My thought:
Although I have bought this gel liner months ago, I started using this recently (blame my laziness). The word "Eyebrow" kind of stunned me as I purchased this mainly to use it on my eyes (somehow I missed the word, no wonder I needed to get a glass). But got to know from others that you can actually use it on eyes.

When I first swatch it on my hand, I was disappointed (but I was so wrong to feel that...keep reading).



In swatch, it did not looked matte and it somewhat felt sticky to the touch. Which gave me the impression that it might not be smudge proof after all. I hate when my eyeliner smudges around my crease area. Unless I am going for the smudgy look.

Oh-The-Disappointment

But just when I started using this, my disappointment disappeared. For years I have adored thick eyeliner look. Years! I have tried multiple products to achieve that intense look. Most of the time I would failed to do so. Thick eyeliner on lower lash line would be a struggle. Finally, FINALLY! I found a product that is not only affordable but also delivers what it says. It is matte and super pigmented. And It stays put. And the good thing is, one product is all you need.

This would be my first gel liner (I did bought another one which I had to return as it dried like desert). Now I am totally addicted to using this.


L-O-V-E

I do not think I would be purchasing the famous Inglot gel liner any sooner as I am really enjoying using this. Completely satisfied with this already.

Need to mention few more points to conclude all.

Some major pros:
- I left the lid opened for several hours, I was horrified that I would find this dried out (since a lot of gel liners would). It did not dried a teensy bit.
- It IS long lasting. I ran some water after the swatch, it did not smudged a bit. Not even when I rubbed.
- Since it looks promising (that it would not dry quickly), it will last you a long time. Such a small price to pay either way. Because even if it doesn't, it's cheap so you can get it without saving.

And some cons?
- Don't like the brush. Not like it cannot be used, just need some practice, don't have the patience (yeah, aha, that's the reason).
- It's waterproof so if you're not good at doing wing liner or any type of line, you might consider buying a makeup remover bottle and loads of cotton balls and Q-tips. Trust me these are the lifesaver.

Anyways, I love it. That's all it matters ;)

Mini Review: Islamic Apparel (Online Hijab Shop)

To me, wearing Hijab properly is the real deal.

Today, I am just going to do a mini review on another Facebook Shopping Page and yes as you can guess, it is hijab related.



Since I have a lot of short sleeve dresses (most of which I got it as a gift and some were... ermm just-loved-it-so-much and must-have things happened), I started searching for arm sleeves to cover up the rest of my hand. Thanks to Allah that I finally managed to get them on this page named Islamic Apparel. No, they are not the only one who sells them. But they provide more color option than any other pages I have seen so far.

Picture taken from here

I instantly placed order for four pairs :D

(from left) Light purple, Coffee, Sky blue & Skin color





Me wearing the brown one

I ordered another pair while changing one.

Royal blue





One downside:


As you can see, not all pairs are the same length. And you can not blame the seller since they do not make it. Fortunately they do provide return policy (or was I being too whiny?? D:)
I changed the sky blue sleeves not because of the length (which can be ignored since it will be hidden anyway) but for the color. One sleeve's color looked tad bit different than the other. That could be ignored as well but ever since it was pointed out and it started to look vivid to my mom's eye I had to change it and get a new one. Really.

Otherwise I am happy with the rest of them. And absolutely loved the royal blue color!





P.S.: Loving being fully covered storyofahijabilife.
