IT Cosmetics Eyeliners

It Cosmetics No-Tug Anti-Aging Gel Waterproof Auto Eyeliner Duo item #A240490 looks good. Sells out too. Of course some negative reviews saying it doesn't last or stay on. Do you ladies have experience with it? I don't always trust the reviews since people often seem to get the products mixed up, etc.

Also, what do you use to remove waterproof gel liners and is removal hard on your eyes?

TIA

Haven't any of the Beauties tried these? I was hoping to hear some of your reviews

Has anyone tried the new one in a pot? Any good? I'm interested because Jamie said it would never dry out which is the main negative of the gels.

Blondelle, I think the IT gals must all be offline today? Let's bump this tonight and tomorrow to see if we can catch some of them later

I haven't tried the gel pencil liners referenced in the original post, but I do use the IT Cosmetics gel liner in the pot. I have the rich plum and graphite and like them alot. As for not drying out, I did get through half of the first plum one I bought, and then it started getting to where it would be harder to get a smooth line with it, so it did dry out some. These are as good as the ones from Bobbi Brown in terms of intensity and staying power. The plum is a very pretty color and enhances my green eyes.

As for taking it off at night, I use Maybelline waterproof eye makeup remover (clear pink bottle; dual phase where you need to shake it to mix it first) on a cotton pad and just hold it over my eyelashes for a minute or two to melt both the liner and mascara. This seems to work really well and then I wash the rest of my face with a cleansing oil and then cleanser. There are other dual phase eye makeup removers out there - all major brands make them but since I use alot it is more cost efficient to use the Maybelline.

I ordered a set of the deep plum color because that's what was left. I couldn't get any pigment from it. I sharpened again and it did a little better.. but I really don't care for this one at all, and I'm pretty easy to please with several different liners. This one did tug.. but most of that was trying to get it to show up, which isn't good at all.

I should have sent them back because I won't use them.

Maybe it's just the plum color. Some of the reviews elude to that point- that the black and brown do just fine but there could be a problem with that particular shade.

I didn't check your link in the OP, but I bought the set of two of the same colored pencils.

If you try, I'd steer clear of plum- at least in the pencil form.

I was looking at these yesterday, and because I had the same questions that you are now asking, I didn't order.

Re: IT Cosmetics Eyeliners

Susan kay, I didn't order either....yet Still deciding.

They don't look like pencils that you would sharpen such as Funloving described above. There is another duo that includes Plum and Highlighter (not Plum and Bronze). That item is #A253479 It Cosmetics Line & Brighten Anti-Aging Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Duo.

Fun, are those the ones you tried? I'm hoping those are the ones you used and item #A240490 are possibly better If you sees this please let us know!

Yes, I've tried it and DO NOT WASTE your money! I used it on my undereye and on my waterline. It lasted about 1.5 hours (if that) on my waterline. The liner underneath my lower lashes lasted about 3 hours but it ended up smudging.

I love them!!!! I ordered the Duo last time they were presented and I got the Navy and Smoke and both are gorgeous colors-very saturated and last on me all day. I do use Trish McEvoy's Eye Base, but these last until I cleanse my face at night!!!!I want the Black and Brown colors next!

Are those the pencil ones that you like? I was hoping to get some feedback on the ones in the pot.

I have not used the eyeliner pencils, but do have the liner in the pots - espresso and silky taupe.

First thing to consider:

The pencil duo is .017 oz. x 2 = .034 (three-hundredths of an ounce) for $26.36.

The pot is .12 oz or 3 1/2 times as much product for less - $24.00.

I have hooded eyes and the liner in the pots stays all day. It's a little messy to apply (don't bother with the brush sold here) but works well with a thin brush. I've had them for a couple of months and they are not drying out. The colors are very nice too - will probably get the graphite.

I am still working with mine, but I find so far they are too soft. I can't get a sharp line and they don't seem to 'set'. I think Jamie mentioned you have a few seconds to correct before they set, but I think it just stays moist, if you know what I mean.

I've only used the gel liner in the pots -- LOVE them!!

i tried this eyeliner and it does go on really smoothly and easy, but it bothered my eyes! i used it on the waterline on the top lashes. it felt terrible after it dried down, it just made my eyes feel too heavy and irritated. i returned it and went back to using urban decay. it's not as bold looking but it feels better.

I haven't tried It liners but I have noticed that I really prefer pot liners lately. I feel I get a much better line and have better control. They seem to last better throughout the day, too. I love Nars. For removal, I have found Sephora's blue remover for waterproof eye m/u to be effective, gentle and affordable.

Do you pot eyeliners for the lower lid or only for the top lid.

Re: IT Cosmetics Eyeliners

liz ae — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:51:53 GMT

Am wearing IT pencil gel liner now. Put it on at 4 am, it will be there for me at 11 pm. Maybe it stays on for me because I always wear an eye shadow base. It used to come off with my regular cleanser. Now I used a makeup remover but that is because the cleanser has changed.

Not crazy about the sharpener but short of that would reorder.

Edited Oops...different product but I wrote all of this so it may benefit someone. A257169 I own three..black, brown and navy and LOVE them all! I line my inner eyelid and it has been the only eyeliner I have used that stays and doesn't make it's way to my tear ducts giving me that black blob. ( if u line the inside of you eyelids, you know what I mean). The brush makes it so easy to apply and blend on the lash line. It is truly waterproof! When I use the brown one, I use a little on my eyebrow and an eyebrow brush and it makes for a great brow definer. I like these pots of eyeliners as I used one by tarte in the past but it dried up pretty fast. I've had my three pots from IT for 6 months and so far so good. When you think about how minuscule amount of product is in a eyeliner stick and look at the amount in the pots, you know this is a great value! The brush is a real bonus too!

I bought a duo of these for the first time during the CEW event. I consider myself a liner aficionado at this point (does it count that I have tried them all and keep buying????), and they are just 'meh' to me. I find them drying (and seem to dry out while unused). I do not notice any "no-tug" properties. In fact, I don't find them that easy to use. I won't buy them again.
