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?

LOL! I have an attack squad for certain Japanese mascaras and liners too :)
I really like gel pencils for tightlining but none of them last on my (very watery) waterline the way a traditional potted gel does :/ Oy, the hunt goes on!
gel liner usually lasts on my upper waterlines but nothing on the lower ones. i would love to try this since it comes in the convenient pencil form!
I love KATE liners! Their liquid liner is my go-to, so affordable and so good. I always stock up on those when I go to Taiwan hahaha. Didn't know they made this gel one though, I'll definitely have to check it out. Liners never last on my waterline either, but I usually don't wear them there so it's all good :)
I used to use Kate liquid eye liners as well, and i liked the brown one cos it doesnt smudge but the colour isnt v strong, as for the black, it smudges!!! Esp becos i have oily eye lids! :( May not try the gel becos its too oily for me, but i think they are quite long lasting :)
I really need to try it. I have the same problem with yours. Hope this will work for me too !♡
that looks pretty cool but i usually use either gel or liquid xx Lisa giglove
I guess I know what I'm picking up when I go to Japan at the end of this month!

I haven't tried this yet but I'm currently eyeing on Kate's liquid eyeliner because of a friend. I want to try this too because of your review! :)
i so loook for something which stays on my water line for long ....
I have tried this before and sadly it gave me racoon eyes :(
