Recently I decided to give L’Oreal’s HIP Cream Eyeliner a try. Combine the cute curious little cream-liner pot with the “Buy one, get one free” sign flashing before my eyes, and it’s a done deal.

At first, I was kind of hesitant when I saw the slant tip applicator brush it came with. I am a liquid liner devotee, and cream is still fairly new to me. I was in total shock at how easily it just glided on, and in a perfect line! Not only that, but the color (Black 905) was bold (guess that’s why they call it High Intensity Pigments) and didn’t smudge at all!

Another plus – it takes barely any product at all to get your liner exactly right. I find that one or two small dips into the pot of creamy black is all it takes!

The only negative thing I noticed was: although I got my top lid lined perfectly, I could never seem to get the bottom just right, but it’s possible that it is just my lack of coordination haunting me again. The price is also steep for the drugstore, but I’ve seen worse. Check it out yourself on Amazon for $12.

Either way, I loved it and I give it a 9/10!
