bbia last auto gel eyeliner

my last loreal gel eyeliner is almost finished, so i'm on the look for another pencil eyeliner. why pencil? because i've already bought the tony moly gel eyeliner, which is not practical for daily use. and i have my nyx dual eyeliner, but the pencil side, well let's just say it doesn't satisfy me. plus it's dull and i don't have any sharpener. and then i found out about bbia. never heard of it? me too.. before seeing it on beauty bible i have no idea about bbia at all. probably will write about this brand soon. okay, so i put the gel eyeliner and the liquid one into my birthday wish list, and my sisters decided to give me both. so lucky me!

this is the description from koreadepart: soft feeling without irritation to eyes. quick dry eyeliner with fast fitting. waterproof to maintain a vivid line for a long time. built-in sharpener.
you can buy these in sets (they have several sets), but you can also buy them in singles. the color options are good too, but i do hope they have navy on their singles. they have noir (black), noir P (i think it's black with pearl or glitter), jazz (dark brown), mellow brown, royal bronze, rose gold, angel, 50's (dark green), and burgundy.


the packaging: the gel eyeliner shaped like a pencil, with a cap and a bottom part (it's the black band) that can be twisted to get the eyeliner out and a hidden sharpener at the very bottom. each eyeliner colored according their shade. so in my case, jazz is dark brown, while rose gold is rose gold.

the color payoff: it's very vivid, vibrant color in just one stroke. pretty impressive. not one streak.. my latest loreal gel eyeliner, one of them is dry so it gives me streak line when being applied. but this one.. both of them are soft and glide on my skin easily.

the staying power: it takes time to set to dry, but just a couple of minutes, after that, no transferring whatsoever, even on my oily eyelid. but make sure you use eyelid primer for longer staying power. if you have hooded lid, make sure you don't blink or it will transfer on your upper eyelid.

the product: it's soft gel eyeliner, softer than loreal one. so it will blunt easily. so you will need to sharpen it if you want to get thinner line.

the result: a bold color that stays for a decent time, won't transfer after being dried completely. you can use it on your waterline without irritate your eyes, but i can feel my waterline a bit dry after a couple hours. so if you have sensitive eyes or using eye lenses, probably it will irritate you. so use with caution. as for the line, since it can blunt easily, it can't product thin lines like liquid liner, though you have sharpen it. you can make it slightly winged, but not a perfect cat eye though.

for me, it's perfect for daily use to tightline or just regular eyeliner. easy to use and good staying power. a bit drying for waterline though. but if you're more a cat eye person, you might want to skip it since it will be hard to draw perfect cat eye with it. with a good selection of shades perfect for everyday use from black to burgundy, i think everyone will have one for themselves (though i'm still hoping there's a navy in its selection). price wise, it's not that expensive.. so give it a try..
