Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Liner

I have been using the Urban Decay 24/7 liners for around 4 years now, and until now I had found nothing that even came close to matching them in terms of pigmentation and lasting power. I had been seeing a lot of reviews of this popping up, and many people were saying it was comparable to the Urban Decay ones, so I picked one up. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting much, but for £3.99 I decided it was worth a go.

 

 

 

 

 

Rimmel claim that this eyeliner delivers "high intensity colour which lasts". There are seven colours to choose from, ranging from this traditional black colour, to a bright blue. I chose back to start as I use black eyeliner everyday, and as much as I love the Urban Decay liners, at £13 a pop, they are slightly expensive when you get through eyeliner as fast as I do! This, however, is almost exactly the same as the Urban Decay ones.

 

The pencil itself is plastic rather than wood, which makes sharpening easier, and creates less wasted product.

 

In terms of pigmentation, I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this. It's beautifully pigmented with just one swipe, and even though I apply this to my waterline, it does last an amazingly long time (around 5/6 hours), something which I struggled to find with cheaper liners in the past.

 

I absolutely love this product. I will definitely be purchasing this over the Urban Decay ones in the future, as it's almost £10 cheaper and is barely any different in terms of quality.

 

This is available for £3.99 from Boots and Superdrug.

 

Has anyone tried this?



Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

 

 

 

I hate the term "holy grail" but this eyeliner really is it for me. I have used this for about 4 years now, after my mum bought me a set of about 7 different coloured ones for Christmas. I immediately fell in love with these eyeliners, they are extremely creamy, pigmented and last for hours without even a hint of smudging. I have tried many other, cheaper eyeliners in that time, and I have found none that even come close to the Urban Decay ones.

 

I also really like the packaging of these. The outer box is a sort of mirrored effect with multi coloured writing, and the pencil itself is a matte black. However, I don't know if all the shades come as a matte black pencil - I used to use the shade "zero", which is also black, and that pencil was black with a silver end cap and a silver lid, and from what I could see in the shop when I purchased this, all the other colours were in a pencil colour corresponding to the liner colour with a silver end cap and lid (if that even makes any sense at all!)

 

 

Instead of being wooden, they are plastic, meaning that they are much easier to sharpen without damaging the product, and there is much less wasted product too. I have the shade "Perversion" which is black, but they have a huge shade range to choose from.

 

 

As you can see in the picture, the liner is extremely pigmented. I use this on my waterline everyday, and it does not budge until I remove my make-up at night. As I said, I use it almost daily, and one of these pencils lasts me roughly 8/9 months, so I don't think they work out *too* expensive.

 

These are £13.00 and are available from Debenhams, House of Fraser and online at Beauty Bay.
