Firstly... apologies as I have been M.I.A for the past three weeks. I really need to find my camera cable so I can download my pics... I guess I could use my phone... but the photos aren't as good. Excuses excuses! For the time being I will use some pics from the Internet.
Today's review is on Clio Professional, Waterproof Brush Liner in 1 Black.
Pic used from eBay
I was previously using some MAC Gel Liner in black however, I then had pink eye and had to bin it in case it contained the bacteria. Sad I know. So when I was at my local Korean make up store I picked up this Clio liner. The liner also contained a mini mascara however, I haven't used it yet.
Purchased from Konad on George St. It's on the same side as the Event Cinemas but a block heading south. They sell lots of Korean clothes and BB Creams etc. You can also buy some Clio products from S A Hair Nail & Beauty Suppliers, level 8 in the Dymocks Building on George St. Other Korean shops along Pitt St and Sussex St also sell Clio products as it's quite popular in Korea. I mean Hyori Lee is the face of Clio (if you don't know who this is youtube her... like now, U Go Girl).
Price - AU$20 approx. I think I may have received a discount when I purchased this so I'm not sure how much I paid in the end however, looking on the net it appears the average price for the eyeliner alone is around AU$20.
Quality - Nice and black, superfine tip, doesn't run out of liquid during application, long lasting (therefore, doesn't fade half way through the day) and it is waterproof.
Usage - I use this every day I apply make up, on my top lid. I usually wing my liner up at the ends.
Verdict - I love this liner. I was almost going to buy the Lancome Artliner however decided against it as many beauty reviews complained about having to drip the brush back into the container to pick up more product. The lid of the Clio liner keeps the brush nice and moist with black liner. Hopefully this liner will last at least 3 months and if it does I'll be happy with that.
I'm still a huge fan of gel liners, however in the morning when I'm applying my liner I want to be super quick cause I've probably woken up late. This is the perfect way to apply liner in a quick and precise way. Not bad Clio!
Laters,
Ivy
P.S - Lancome haul to be posted soon as I just spent AU$193 last Friday at the Lancome counter at DJ's. ^_^
UPDATE - 6 May 2012
I have found my camera cord so I have updated this post with my pics of the product.
Also the packaging has the cost on it! So, this product is AU$28.90 from Konad on George St. This is for both the eyeliner and the mascara.
