ABOUT THE PRODUCT FROM MANUFACTURER:  

"For impeccably lined eyes anytime, anywhere! 

Perfectly blendable, its creamy formula allows for a precise and intensely coloured line. The smooth texture of this waterproof eyeliner virtually glides on the skin and stays put all day long, resisting to water, humidity and heat. Long-lasting, it is nonetheless easily removed with any Marcelle eye make-up remover. Available in a matte or pearlized finish. 

Hypo-allergenic and perfume free."

REVIEW:

When I received the new eyeliner to try out I def. lucked out because I love blue. Electric blue is a lovely shade of bright, bold blue which I adore.

A close-up, if you please of the tip and swatch - one is lined as thin as I could manage (on the right) and the other is a bolder swatch (one the left):

So how does this baby stack up? Well, I put this on at around 8  a.m. in the morning - no primer, nothing else save my morning eye cream. Please, please pardon my eyebrows on these pics:

This is around 8:30 p.m. or later in the evening - because of the lighting the colour may look a bit less bright but it wasn't. It hadn't budged or smudged or faded.

I didn't experience any itchiness or tightness on my lids all day. In fact , I  actually forgot I had eye liner on. I didn't find any colour migration either.

These pretty babies come in 8 other shades:

I know you might be thinking about the MAKE UP FOREVER liners - those bad boys retail at CAD$20.00 for the same 0.04 oz. 

These are a mere CAD$9.95.

Do I have to spell out which one I am spending money on? 

Granted they don't have the bigger selection of colours MFE does , but they have a good range to appeal to most eye liner wearers I think. And its Canadian to boot! So win-win all around!

VERDICT:  5/5 - Stellar quality and wear. I love how this blue makes my brown eyes pop and I am curious to try some other colours. Def. something I would buy without hesitation - go haul yours!
