PRODUCT REVIEW | ASTA GEL LINERS

Gel liners are my favourite simply because they're long lasting and smudge proof (when used on the lower lash line,and most definitely the upper) and they should be yours too if you love to have your eyes properly lined

Asta gel liners is a product of Nigerian origin(yaaay!!!!). Well,you can only imagine how excited I was when I first heard about them.My experience with gel liners haven't been all that palatable(as they often dry out quickly) so I was more than eager to try a new product,especially after I read all the claims about the product and did i forget to mention that the shades come in such lovely names? we have Emerald(green), Twilight (blue), Onyx (black),Currant (purple) and Nude brown(a light shade of brown)

Pros

Asta Gel Liner in Onyx

• The liners are absolutely waterproof(just as they claim).I wouldn't advise you to use in your waterline if your eyes get irritated easily from tugging at it because its gonna be a big battle getting it out.Notwithstanding,its a good choice if you want a smudge proof line that stays put all day
• They are hypoallergenic.They wont give any irritations
• The liner comes with a short applicator brush(which i havent used yet,and I doubt I will),An angled liner brush will do better justice for me
• They can be used as an eyeshadow base or even worn alone as eyeshadow

Cons

Asta Gel Liner in Nude Brown

• I think the packaging is a bit too bulky for the size of the product.A clear packaging that would allow you have a peek at whats inside without necessarily having to open the pack would have been more appropriate
  
  
  
  Overall: I think the Asta Gel Eyeliners are totally true to their claims and are truly hypoallergenic. They retail for 1500 NGN(that's about $11) and I'd say that's fair enough for 5g of product.A thin foil (shown below) is also included to keep the product from drying out
  
  

The protective foil included

Would I use this product? Yesssss(already using it) and i would purchase the other 3 colors
Would I reccomend it? I would totally do If you'd like to purchase asta gel eyeliners for personal or professional use be sure to hit me up on mccoybeautyinc@gmail.com and i would hook you up. Have a great weekend people,cheers!

FOTD |EASY ON THE LINER

Couldn't help laughing out loud at the title that I came up with,but then it perfectly suits the look so i had to overlook it

This was the look i rocked today and i received several compliments even though it was a really simple look and im sure anybody can recreate it. I'm sure going to re-rock *winks*

 I used products that are easily within reach and affordable.but if it so happens that you can't  lay your hands on any of the products i used,feel free to substitute

Here's the breakdown of products i used in the look:


FACE

 Elf mineral infused face primer
Marykay Medium coverage foundation in 607 and 507
Tara Orekelewa powder palette(used the darkest shade to contour)

 Blush from the Zaron Showstopper palette

EYES

Elf jumbo eyeliner in black
Soft brown brow pencil
Black opal foundation in truly topaz(as brow highlight)
Fast lash
FM 3step mascara(added two coats for extra effect)

What have I been up to?

Hello everyone, i'm sure a lot of people have been wondering where i have been and what exactly i've been up to.
