Few months ago I purchased e.l.f Cream Eyeliner so I could test it and see if it is anything like the gel liner I have (from Morgana Minerals) but, unfortunately, it’s not even close to gel liner. So, what’s the problem with this cream eyeliner?

e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner is, as it says – cream which means its texture is quite softer than the texture of gel liner which also means that the application is different – not the application it self, the color payoff is different. The thing is, since the texture is softer, the color won’t apply so nicely as it will with gel liner, and since I got it in black shade, it’s something I noticed immediately. The color simply isn’t *black* as it is supposed to be and it is necessary to apply it for few times to get black black color on your eyelid. That wouldn’t be the problem for me at all, just if I didn’t have to wait for the previous layer of color to dry completely. I you don’t wait, as I didn’t, when applying the second layer happens something I really hate – the previous layer gets erased! By applying new layer, the eyeliner brush simple picks any previous color. :/

If you get attracted by its packaging, I won’t blame you because I find the packaging being really nice, as is the price too – 3.50 GBP. Also, you get a decent amount of it – .16 oz / 4.7 g.

The bottom line is – it’s not an expensive product so I don’t consider myself losing a lot of money and if you don’t mind applying layer after layer – you probably will be satisfied. But, I don’t see the point of bothering with this as there is a great product at the same price which is excellent – gel liner! Don’t you think so? :D
