Maybelline Eyeliner Matic || Review ♡

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months I've started to use eyeliner quite a lot more than I used to, when I decided to start using it again I only had one eyeliner in my makeup collection so I went ahead and tried it out, the eyeliner was the Maybelline Eyeliner-Matic, I'd owned it for about 2 years and there was literally about one use left in it which I used up. Because of how old the product was I wasn't sure whether they'd still sell it so I decided to go and see if they still sold them in Boots and it turned out, to my delight, that they did!
 
 
I usually judge products by their packaging and to be honest I don't really like this packaging, when I had it before (from like 2 years ago) it was much nicer and sleeker, (hence why I found it so hard to find this product again, haha) but I really love this eye liner for many reasons and I wasn't going to not get it again because of the packaging change! Firstly, this eyeliner isn't one of the ones that just kind of disappear off your eyes for like no reason, it stays on really well, especially on my waterline.

 (sorry for the photo quality I don't know what happened here)
 
This eyeliner is a pencil liner which I love because I'm pretty much awful at using liquid liners in every way possible, (I once got it in my eye and it literally blotted out all my vision and all I could see was blackness) also I like the fact that you twist the top to get the actual pencil out of the packaging, (it's like the eyeliner led or whatever, I'm poop at describing these things, no matter what I do this is going to sound beyond kinky!) so you twist the case and the liner comes out, the bottom of the pen has a sharpener which is really cool despite the fact that I'm totally unable to work it...

 
I like the fact that the liner isn't totally black although if you layer this (it only takes two layers) it can go totally black which I love, so you can have this as quite a natural eyeliner as well as a cool, bold one! I find this eyeliner really easy to apply and it doesn't feel remotely heavy on my eyes either which is always a bonus! I really recommend this to anyone looking for a good black pencil eye liner because it's really nice on the eye and I just really love it!
