I was out of gel liner. The one I had was essence which I was very happy with. I was looking forward to purchasing Maybelline gel Liner, as I have heard so much about it, but to my surprise I bumped into this unusual Maybelline product while shopping for my Halloween makeup stuff.
The Maybelline 30 sec Speedy Dry Eyeliner looks 'doubtful' when you look at it. I am even questioning if its even original but for the price of just Rs.350/- I was like "What the hell let's give it a go!"
I contacted Maybelline (because I wanted to know about the authenticity of the product) and found a very interested fact: "The original Maybelline products are from Germany. All others, especially indian and chinese MNY products are fake." So Ladies I got a fake but I am still excited to check it out.
The outside packaging is basic and simple, similar to the Colossal Kajal and Mascara packaging. Inside is a plastic liner brush and a eye liner pot.
The pot is glass with a jewel-like designed plastic top. The finishing of the top cap is slightly low quality (one of the elements that made me question the authenticity).

- The formula is surprisingly good and can be easily applied. It is better than normal liners but not as great as Maybelline Gel liner itself
- The brush allows to make a super thin line
- If you plan on having something that stays put for 4 to 6 hours this is good
- It's not smudge free but if you don't run or smudge it doesn't get smudged on it's own either
- Less pigmented then Maybelline Gel Liner but a good alternate to basic eye liners
Overall I like this product and have already used it a couple of times with satisfaction.
I got this product from Gulf Shopping Mall, Karachi which is located near teen Talwar. For just Rs.350/- this is a good buy but I am still going to get Maybelline Studio Gel Liner nonetheless :)

ReplyDeleteSometimes the fakes surprise you. I personally don't like the original gel liner by maybelline. It dries out in no time
