L'oreal Telescopic Precision Eyeliner

Hey guys! 
Just a quick review on some AWESOME liquid eyeliner. 

I maintain with alot of beauty products its very personal to as what you like and don't like in terms of brush types/colour/matt or gloss - there is so much choice, which is very good but can be a nightmare, especially if you are trying to achieve your signature look on a shoestring budget. 

I feel with eyeliner I was so insistent on always have a soft and flexible brush as it gives a better, easier shape. Now I have used a couple of other liners which are of a fibre tip variety, I was excited to receive this little beauty from Deborah @ Cosmetic Kingdom as part of my 3rd batch of samples. 

First Impressions
I was a little wary of this product as Its a fibre tip applicator, however I decided to embrace it and go with it. The amount of eyeliner for the money you spend is a little uneven if I'm honest.  Theres a big lid/applicator handle on the item as well, nearly 3 times as long as the product itself! but this is a common find in liquid eyeliner.


Application
When applying this eyeliner, and generally with liquid eyeliner, I have a special way of doing it, it seems to work well and I was taught it a while back. 
Instead of starting from the inner eye and sweeping it all over to the outer corner, try from the middle and sweep to the outside and then start from the inside and join to the middle - I find this achieves a better shape and also avoids little wiggles etc. 
The tip goes on smooth however unlike a brush the line isn't completely smooth and natural-looking. 

My Likes
I like the longevity of the colour, it will last all day, whereas others do not. 

My Dislikes
The nib is a little hard and this compromises a smooth line on the eye.
