As Black as Night

Don't you just love a good black eyeliner? When I want a black liner, I need the blackest of the black. Something that defies night, and doesn't leave me with a look that is more morning-after than smoldering hot. I'm constantly on the hunt for the deepest darkest shade of black--and I think I've found a champion. It was in the most unlikliest of places, as true black liners are concerned--the drugstore! And who would believe me if I told them it was by good old Black Radiance? We're talking long-lasting, smudge free, standout performance--even on the waterline! Go figure.

Here's the proof--now you tell me which one takes the cake:


Oh right, did I mention that it's less than five dollars? Get thee to a drugstore!

The beautiful Bubblegarm tagged me recently for a one-word tag game. The questions deserve a one word answer. bottoms up!

I know that if I don't tag some of you, you'll never do it--so it's all on you: Kajal Couture, StellarNZ, Tali, Dila and Su-Pah!

Are you back from the drugstore yet? Creme liner in hand? Or do you have a black that beats these? I'm loyal, but a winner is a winner...

My my, you sure know your black liners, don't you??? :)

Lol @ "something that defies night"! :DDD

So, um, what's the deal with the knuckles girl? Who's ass is getting kicked? :)))

Mwah!

Tali said...

'Dream last night?- EWW' ???????
Hmmmmmm?? Lol I am so curious now! haha

Black liners are so hard to get right. Eveyone need a different formula.. and ugh.. after wasting SO much money on expensive ones.. the drugstore ones normally do the best job anyway! :/ xox

@tina: i just picked up another one that should have been thrown in with this group...oh well, too late!

the knuckles--i'm not sure..i've wanted them for a while. umm, self defense?! I remember wanting them again after I saw JLo in Enough. hahaha! xxox

@tali: oh yea..the dream was on theme.. there's another drugstore one that i think is really great--but it's pencil form. i'll post! xxox

Rocaille said...

Defo post your recommedantion on the one in pencil form, I'm on the market for it :) Great review! xxx

ladyb said...

that liner looks amazing - where did you pick it up?

and I agree w. Tali Dream - Eww ? hahaha

fantastic said...

@rocaille: i will...i wore it today, and lo and behold--it's still on the waterline!

@lady b: you can find it at Rite-Aid...I picked up mine at Bartell's though (I think that may be a local drugstore?) ..I've seen it off and on at Walgreens though.

That tag is so cute, Love those words games :)
That black liner is a great deal.

Kajal Couture said...

Does that irritate when you put it on the waterline? Blacktrack irritates my eyes when on the waterline so I have to use pencils. I do like the $5 tag...speaks to my cheap heart!

I will be sure to do the one word post...I'm still lagging on the 5 hair products I regret buying post....will get to that one too....

Suka said...

@gabriela: thank you :)

@kajal couture: it takes time to get caught up with all of the tags..no worries :) sometimes creme liners can bother me on the waterline--this one seems to stay put though. i do have a good recommendation for a pencil on the waterline (very soft so it doesn't irritate my eyes)...i'll be posting soon!
