L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black Review

Lovely hello to all my beautiful friends out there,

Today, I have an eyeliner for you. My most favorite type of eyeliners are liquid liners – mainly due to the ease of application and especially when I am in a hurry. It becomes very cumbersome to dip the brush in the pot again and again (in case of gel liners) and then spot cleaning the brush, before the liner becomes rock solid. Also, I still take too much time to apply gel liners. 🙁 I was looking for an easier alternative when I spotted this in my local Target store. a 0.4mm felt tip and staying power of 12 hours made me pick this up. Does it fulfill the claims? Let us see.

Product Description:
Enjoy flawlessly clean lines as precise as 0.4 mm with The Super Slim by Infallible Never Fail. The ultra-fine felt tip gives you total control, delivering the perfect amount of liner. The intense quick dry 12 HR formula glides on smoothly with continuous and even flow. In one stroke create sleek and sophisticated eyes.  Skip-proof.  Drag-proof. Smudge-proof. Ophthalmologist-tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

How To Use:

Price:
USD 8.95 (may vary from store to store).

My Experience with L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black:

I know different colored liners are the trend but black is the safest bet, so I wanted a liner in black. The liner comes in a pen form which a curved rubber texturized portion in the middle for the grip. It makes holding the pen easy during application. The pen in black in color, denoting the shade inside.

The tip is really thin, not the thinnest I have seen, but still pretty good and is semi-flexible making the application easy and mess free. One can really make thin lines with it. The color is black, really black. 😀 It is very pigmented so one need not go multiple times over the same area. But yes, I do apply two swipes, I want my liner to be really dark. 😀 It applies smoothly, does not drag and gives an even application, but it takes around a minute to dry. It is not quick drying which does irritate me at times, especially when I am in a hurry and the liner smudges because it didn’t dry fully!!! 🙁

Now coming to the claims, i.e. smudge proof – well, sadly it is not smudge proof. 🙁 It does smudge and comes off if even you accidentally touch the liner. Once, I was trying to remove a stray lash from my inner corner and the liner was gone from my inner corner. 🙁 The staying power is good if the liner stays untouched (which is very difficult for me 🙁 ).

I have tested it for whole 12 hours and it faded a bit from the wing and was almost gone from inner corners.  So, 12-hour staying power claim doesn’t hold good. It gives 7-8 hours wear time. I don’t wear any primer underneath, but then I don’t have oily lids. Watery eyes can say no to this liner, as it will definitely smudge. The liner didn’t irritate my sensitive eyes.

Also, it is not waterproof, comes off with soap and water. I generally don’t wear liners on lower lash line, but seeing its performance on my upper lash line, I am sure it won’t perform so well there. Also, summers are still not here and I don’t think this liner will hold well on hot sunny days- with sweat and humidity.

Pros of L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black:

• Felt tip applicator.
• Great pigmentation.
• Rich black color.
• Can apply very thin line.
• Easy to hold and comfortable to use.
• Applies smoothly, no dragging or pulling across the eyelid.
• Comes off with water and soap.

Cons of L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black:

• Staying power, 7-8 hours, so the 12-hour claim is not true.
• Smudges.
• Easily comes off from inner corners.
• Not water resistant.

IMBB Rating:
3/5

Would I Repurchase L’Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner in Black?
No, though I liked the liner, I definitely don’t want it to just fade away from inner or outer corners. Also, I prefer my eyeliner and mascara to be waterproof.
