physicians forum shimmer strips custom eye enhancing gel cream liner for blue eyes. it normally retails at aud$25, but every now and then all pf products are 40% off at priceline. yes, that's when i bought it!

i already have a set for brown eyes and a set for green eyes. obviously i don't have blue eyes, but i want a blue gel liner. there have been quite a few 40% off sales in between. but i've been holding off because i'm not sure if i want to buy it just for the blue. i already have black from the other 2 sets. the brown is slightly different from the brown eyes set but not sure if it's obvious.

i love that it's stackable. perfect for travelling even though i haven't had any chance to do so. however with this particular set, i have a difficult time breaking them apart.

user experience

i'm very pleased with the sets for brown eyes and for green eye. i've been debating if i should get the last set of the 3. there are only 3 sets available in australia at the moment. i'm more interested in the glam collection, but you know, it's australia. we either don't get them or have to wait forever to get them.

black is the only color i haven't tried from this set. as all eye sets have a black and i've already tried the other 2. they are the same.

in my previously reviews i mentioned that the best reason i like them is because they do not smudge. i've been using them a lot since getting them and i must say, smudge does happens, but very rarely. it's better than most other gel liners i've tried.

they do not stay on my waterline. <-- this wasn't mentioned in previous reviews because i had not tried it at the time. i read some reviews that say they do. not on me.

the blue, the main reason i get this set, isn't that great. the color isn't very 'solid'. it's quite streaky when applied. need to draw over several time to get a solid line. it's quite time consuming to get a well defined solid line. it's probably good if you want a smudge line effect, which i've not tried.

the brown is lighter with more golden tone than the one for the brown eye set. the staying power isn't that great. with well defined liner, the edge feathered in a few hours. certain area of the line disappeared too.

i don't like this set as much as the other 2 sets. somehow i'm glad i didn't buy this set first or i won't be able to try the other 2.

will i repurchase? no. not this set.

in action

both photos were taken when the makeup was still fresh.

wearing the blue gel liner. it takes several strokes on top of one another to get a well defined line. it's time consuming. but once you get the well defined line, it stays there quite well.

wearing the brown gel liner. i quite like this golden brown. unfortunately the line near inner 1/2 of the eye disappeared and the wing smudged by mid-day. i can accept that makeup look bad at the end of the day (tho not preferable!) but... mid-day?! :(
