Mineral Gel Liners, Anyone?

Okay, so many have tried MAC and Bobbi Brown gel liners. I really love the efficiency, drama and precision of gel liners. I also love the fact that they stay put longer than pencil liners. Gel liners are also better than loose powder liners because you don't need a separate sealant or mixing medium to make a paste with before application. Gel liners are also more efficient than liquid eyeliners because application is so much easier. But has anybody ever tried mineral gel liners?

I found some gel liners on sale at the Fyrinnae website. I was attracted to the colors and since I didn't have any liners in those unusual colors, I gave in and got some. I also snagged one beautiful, shimmery eye color in Digital Faerie, which I read is one of Fyrinnae's bestsellers.

I tried Pumpkin Coach this morning and I was amazed at the intensity of the color, and it really went well with my neutral/bronzey eye look today. I like the fact that it was noticeable, but definitely not over-the-top. It's an interesting accent to an otherwise boring neutral eye.

I really like the Fyrinnae gel liners; they give good color payoff (in fact, pigmentation is fantastic!). My only gripe is the texture. It doesn't smudge off, it peels off, like paint! I'm glad Fyrinnae is re-formulating their gel liners. I hope they eliminate the peeling effect. It's a great liner except for that one factor.


I used Pureluxe cream eraser as primer, Monave mineral foundation in Teporah, Monave Angel Finishing Powder, Bare Escentuals Well Rested over Mary Kay undereye concealer in Ivory, Monave blush in Star Lilly used wet, Rimmel 1000 Kisses stay-on lipliner in Wild Clover, MAC lip lacquer in Varneesh


On a different note, I just wanna state that MAC Springsheen blush is gorgeous! It's a lot, lot better than NARS Orgasm on my skintone. It is as pretty as Cargo's The Big Easy blush and the peachy pink color really brightens up my complexion. I can't believe I let it languish at the bottom of my traincase for so long!
