Coastal Scents Gel Eyeliner in "Beach Glass" Review

Hi Everyone!

Today I am going to review  Gel eyeliner by coastal scents in shade "Beach Glass".
It comes in a cute small glass tub. It looks very small , but it has decent amount and will last a long time since only a small amount of the gel eyeliner is required.





I fell in love with the shade the minute I saw it, its a very pretty sea green color with a hint of blue, with lots of sparkles in it. It is quite shimmery. It cant be worn to work as its quite an attention grabber. But, its perfect for a holiday especially for beach. It adds a fresh look to your face and looks awesome when combined with golden/bronze lip gloss.


The shimmers in it are not very fine, I mean something is wrong with the consistency of the gel liner, its not as smooth and buttery like normal gel eyeliners. It needs to be layered over 2-3 times to get consistent color all over. When you swipe it once you might get uneven application.


When I ordered this, I got it totally dried out, I mean so dry that I could see cracks in the gel, I couldn't even get it on the brush.This is the issue with all the gel eyeliners. So, I added some almond oil in this and then it got quite creamy.
Swatch: Right most

Another drawback is that you don't get any brush applicator with it, so you need to have angled eyeliner brush with this.Staying power is okay, not that great. It stays on easily for 3-4 hours, after that it starts chipping little bit.





PRICE: 5$

Pros:
  1. Lovely beachy shade, perfect for holiday.
  2. Love the shimmery look.
  3. Cute packaging
Cons:
  1. Dries out easily.
  2. No Brush applicator provided.
  3. Not available in India.
  4. Needs to be ordered online from CoastalScents.com
  5. Not great staying power.
  6. Shimmers are not very minute.

I love the shade so much that I might order it again once it finishes. It adds life and freshness to your holiday look. Just looking at this shade makes me go into a holiday mood :)

Thanks for reading :)
