Daniel Sandler Waterproof Eyeliner - Review

Hi Everyone!

I was very excited to receive a Daniel Sandler Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Blue Velvet* through the post. I've never tried anything from the brand, but have heard great things & always been intrigued. The thing that's stopped me from taking the plunge & purchasing is that, to the best of my knowledge, it is only available online.

The eyeliner itself is retractable - my favourite kind as you don't loose product when sharpening & it's much less of a faff! But be warned - the product has a tendency to break on applying pressure. So far it's broken twice on me, making the fact that you don't waste product with a retractable liner a moot point! 

Apart from having to be careful not to break the pencil, the application is relatively easy. The only difficulty I had was in getting the line thin enough just before I reached the inner corner of my eye - today's line is & little backward, being thicker in the inner portion of the eye!

I was impressed with the price of £9.25, sitting in between drugstore/highstreet eyeliners& those from the likes of MAC & Urban Decay. There are 6 colours in the line which I think is a good range. The selection includes grey, green, brown & purple, as well as the obligatory black.

The colour payoff is good & you can deepen the colour with more pressure (which I wouldn't recommend as it increases the chance of snapping the product) or through layered application. I did find that on application the liner near my inner corner smudged onto the lower lash line but this was easy to wipe away with the fingers. I was not able to test the waterproof claims of the eyeliner but can say, after having a little cry, that unfortunately it isn't tear proof.

I often have difficulty removing waterproof products. It takes too long & my sensitive eyes become irritated as a result - not with this product! Just a few swipes with a makeup wipe (I know, I know, I should be using makeup remover!) & the liner had gone!

Overall, I am pleased with this liner. I just think I need a little more practice to get more precision in the inner corner area of my eyes. I'd be interested to try some of the other colours in the range & will definitely be investing in more of Daniel Sandler's makeup line.

The Daniel Sandler Waterproof Eyeliner, along with other products from his range can be purchased from Beauty Expert here.

One thing I should draw your attention to here is that Beauty Expert don't list product ingredients on their website. If this is something you need to look into, like myself, you'd need to either contact Beauty Expert or do as I did & look them up directly on the Daniel Sandler website.

Have you tried any Daniel Sandler products? What have been standouts for you?
