The highly anticipated 'Highliners' have arrived right outside my door. And I'm very excited to share this with you all.
I recently received some cool products from a app named Influenster. Influenster kindly sent me some Marc Jacob's Matte 'Highliner' Gel Eye Crayon.

I was so surprised that I was chosen and so fortunate to receive the liners. Also I received colours that I absolutely love using on my eyes. On the John Lewis website the Marc Jacob highliners are described 'as a intensified rich pigment', 'glitter free' and 'malleable formula that glides on smoothly' .
These really do tick every box from what they claim to be. Now they do retail for £20 which is quite pricey for eyeliners, however Marc Jacob's is a high end brand that carry luxurious products. So overall I expected it to be a high price.

Below are some photos of the product and packaging that was sent to me.

So what are my thoughts on the Marc Jacob matte 'Highliner' gel eye crayons? I think they work perfectly on the eyes especially on the waterline. I definitely need to get my hands on the blue shades (Out of the blue and Deja blue). I used 'pink of me' in my waterline and 'earthquake' on my lid to create a wing with my bold look. I did have to use a angled brush to angle the liner as the product was a little too creamy to get a precise line. The liner glided on like a dream and the pigmentation was amazing. The 'Highliner' showed up really well without me having to rub it roughly on my hand before putting it on my eyes (usually I rub the liner on my hand so the liner can show up on my eyes).

And this was very easy to glide on too. The only issue I have with the 'Highliner' is because it's so creamy you have to be careful not to get carried away other wise the liner will smudge on your lower lash line or look messy. The liner does not move or budge at all after its been applied it lasts a quite a while. You need to wipe your eyes twice with wet wipes in order to take it off completely.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this eyeliner if your looking for a long staying power and a long lasting eyeliner. The price may be high for a gel crayon eyeliner but this is a high end brand and the quality is perfection.
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative Colour pop's crème gel eyeliners are really pigmented and retail for the fraction of the price $5 (£3.60)
Hope you enjoyed the review and check out the app for yourself.
