Save Your Pennies: L'Oreal Carbon Black Telescopic Eyeliner

If it's not apparent already, I'm a bit of a makeup addict and I'm generally pretty good at picking out products I like but I certainly find some duds along the way.  But just because I wasted a few pennies of this stuff, doesn't mean you have to!  Here's the first of my Save Your Pennies/Spend Your Pennies series.  

L'Oreal Carbon Black Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner

Blech, I've had a heck of a time finding a liquid eyeliner I like.  I bought this one because I thought it was one recommenced by one of my favorite You Tubers.  I was incorrect.  At first, I thought I liked it anyway.  The tip, which is sorta like a felt tip pen, made applying liner easier than eyeliners I've had in the past and right when it was applied, I loved it!  Pigment was great and it made clean lines.  Wah hoo!  

Except not.  About 4 or 5 hours into the day it would start to smudge around my eye and the pigment would fade significantly.  A real bummer considering I even used an eyelid primer AND a setting spray.  For awhile, I kept using it anyway because I didn't want to feel like I wasted my money by tossing it out and I just sorta figured that I always have issues with eye makeup staying put anyway.  My dumb eyelids!  

Then I snapped outta it!  I realized I didn't need to settle for mediocre products because I'm sure there's an eyeliner out there that works for me (and in fact, I think I've found one).  Life lessons ladies!  So, in my opinion, save your pennies on the L'Oreal Carbon Black Telescopic Eyeliner.
