Review: Geisha Ink liquid eyeliner

Hey you guys, it's been awhile! I'm in Seattle at the minute and the kids are asleep so I thought this would be a great time to bust out a review. This one is for my new favourite eyeliner. My girlfriend from work turned me onto this liner and I can't live without it. Honestly, if I had to choose only one eyeliner to use for the rest of my life, this one would be it.

Here she is:








So I'm going to give you guys the pros and cons of this liner and you guys can see why I love it so much.




PROS:

-I can get an extremely thin line. I've never been able to make a line this thin with any other liquid liner, but you can keep going over it to make it thicker if you like that look (which I do sometimes.) On their website they say it's a micro-fibre tip...I don't know what that means, but it spells magic for me.
-It comes in a pen form which makes lining your eyes a lot easier than with most liquid liners.
-The payoff is amazing, it is a really rich black colour.
-It does not smudge. Really. I crap you not. I have a problem with all other eyeliners smudging under my eyes. If I don't use the right mascara, that'll smudge too. This is the ONLY eyeliner that doesn't EVER smudge.
-Lasts all day. I swear I don't know how it lasts so long, but it does and it doesn't fade. But if I go to bed without taking off my makeup (gross, I know, but only if I fall asleep by accident!) for some reason I wake up and it's gone...but it has NEVER, EVER come off during the day. Weird, but I thought I should just let you know that it isn't a chore to take off. It comes off easily with a makeup wipe.
-This may be a little thing for you guys, but it's big for me. I love how thin I can get the tail of my wings. Because of the super fine tipped applicator, I can get a really perfect, tapered line. With other liners I usually get this clumpy, horrid tapered line if I don't do it perfectly the first time. With this liner, I can go over the wing as many times as I want and still get that perfect, tapered end. And it's the perfect stiffness, so it's totally easy to work with.
-You know how with some liquid liners, it is this weird consistencey that gets all caught up in your lashes if you go too close and it gets clumpy all in your lash hairs...or if you go over it too many times starts to look gross? This isn't like that at all. I can use the point of the applicator to go between my lashes to make them look really full and it doesn't get clumpy at all. Love that.


CONS:
-It only comes in black. I would love a perfect blue/navy. Or a purple...green...**sigh** but it only comes in black.
-Price. It is $30 Canadian which is a lot for an eyeliner.
-Not found in a lot of stores. It's online at etailers and I'm really lucky that there is a spa near me that carries it, but otherwise I'd have to go make the 45 minute journey downtown to get one (which, by the way, I would totally do.)


The Geisha Ink website says that it's smudge-proof, waterproof and lasts 24 hours and I totally believe it. I love it!!

Okay, so here is a picture of the applicator tip:



And sorry for the wonky lighting...took this as the sun was going down, but do you see how thin that line is? I can actually make it thinner, but I was a bit distracted by my kids running around while trying to do this. Lol. The thin line was one swipe and the thicker line was made with one swipe, as well, but just with more pressure...check out the colour payoff:


Okay, well I hope this helps any of you out there who are looking for a good liquid liner. I love shopping around and trying new products, but this is one product I won't be looking to replace! Hope to do more reviews and looks soon :)
