Bobbi Brown Gel eyeliner

[valiumredhead]

Oh my - it is rather wonderful, isn't it?

I have black ink - what other colours are nice?

Can't believe I have only just discovered this little beauty, have heard loads about it but never actually tried it - and the ultra fine brush is AMAZING.

it dries up in a flash.

Only if you leave the lid off while you are applying apparently, so I have heard - you need to put the lid back on between dips with your brush.

oh ffs
thats bollocks isnt it?
and patently untrue

There is, or used to be, a dark brown. Sepia, I think it was called.
I found it excellent for creating mehndi on DD.
It does not come off.

Neither did the intricate black tattoo I gave her for some other reason. It was still there a week later

I love it but it dries to boot polish!!! I still use it but have to scrape off a thick layer from the surface before each use. It does not make me want to buy another

Oh well, I will let you know if mine dries - I was very careful to put the lid back on between dips this morning!

I am lusting after Ivy Shimmer and Sepia.

Does anybody have any tips for applying it when you have eyelash extensions? Thanks.

How does it make it any different from if you have long eyelashes blonde? Just bung it on

I have Ivy Shimmer and the purple one - both gorgeous, iridescent colours (eyeliner addict) , there is a bit of a drying up issue but I've also used Mac and Clinique gel eyeliners and this seems to happen with each of them. No idea if sticking a bit of that mixing medium malarkey in with them will re-lubricate.

More googling suggests mixing the whole jar up can improve quality and make it last longer.

WRT Ivy Shimmer - is it black green, or very green?

Blimey. Puts in an order for mixing medium.

Hmmm, it's like a very dark emerald green, not in your face at all. I'm very pale, with dark hair and sewage green eyes and it suits me. I'll have a look at some swatches and put up a link to the most accurate.

Oooooo sounds nice! Thanks :)

I luuuuuuurve it.

Oh gosh. I neeeeeeeeeed it!

I like the black but it's very black for day wear - I need something a little less harsh.

You do need it, you do. (I'm a make up enabler)

I also like the new plum/black colour.

I got the brush and gel from ebay for £7 - utter bargain, at that price I don't care if i dries up!

I have espresso ink and ivy shimmer ink - both fab....I haven't had issues with drying out either. DD has denim ink and it's divine. I can't wait to see the new twilight one as it looks amazing

Yes Twilight is the plum/black colour, isn't it?

Espresso Ink= black/brown?

Bollocks, now I want the Twilight Shimmer. Curse MN

I'm on the look out for a new mascara - usually use MF Masterpiece, the black tube - but fancy a change. I like a traditional brush not these new fangled skinny brushes. Any suggestions?

That's tricky, Valium, currently I'm alternating between Benefit They're Real and By Terry, of the two I prefer the Benefit but then I'm a big fan of the drag queen school of lashes. Neither are my absolute dream mascara. I had a Bourjois Fast and Pefect mascara recently that was excellent but couldn't be described as subtle, I also like Max Factor False Lash Effect - about 25 zillion times better than that Benefit Bad Gal shite.
