There must be something amazing about Slim Gel Pencil if it managed to grab third place in the @cosme ranking for the first half of 2013. Since I was in the market for a pencil gel eyeliner, I thought why not?
Slim Gel Pencil is a gel liner housed in a twist-up, pencil form. This formula boasts the benefits of intense colour payoff and smooth application, all squeezed into an extra fine 1.5 mm lead (or is core more apt?). It glides on fluidly without dragging. The colour is on the greyish-black side and has a non-shiny finish.
I have always had a problem wearing eyeliner on my waterline (Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils and Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes turn me into a raccoon) so it should have been obvious that I would not find my HG so easily. Slim Gel Pencil did not stand a chance against my waterline - it smudged within minutes. Nonetheless, rest assured that it works fine and does not budge from my lash line.
As with all Kate eyeliners, it refuses to come off easily. I have to whip out an attack squad that consists of an eye makeup remover, whichever cleanser I am using at the moment and a large dose of warm water to remove every single trace.
Kate offers three shades for this eyeliner: BK-1, BR-1, and GD-1. Mine was purchased from my second home, Watsons for RM 44. Have you tried Slim Gel Pencil? Is your experience different from mine?
