L'oreal HIP Cream Liners - Midnight Blue, Teal, and Eggplant

Am I the last person on earth who just recently tried these? As you already know, these cream liners have been on the market for quite a long time already but I never was able to bring myself to buy them because they are kind of expensive for drugstore makeup. These retails for about $11.00.
Fortunately, I bought them way back when CVS was having their huge sale and when I saw that they were on sale for 75% off, I jumped on the opportunity. I thought finally I have a reason to buy this, lol.

Packaging
  • They come in a clear glass jar and a black cap, which look identical in shape and size to those of my Benefit creamshadows.
  • You get a good amount of product there so very unlikely to finish it soon.
  • 0.159 oz or 4.5 g


Midnight Blue is a beautiful navy blue with blue shimmers.

Teal is obviously teal. I love the pop of color this brings. The finish is matte.


Eggplant it is. The finish has a subtle sheen.

Product
  • They do feel slightly drier than I would have liked, therefore they are a bit harder to pickup with the brush. Consequently, you'll have to work a little faster during application as well.
  • They last all day without smuding or smearing
  • You can use them as eyeshadow base
  • They are very pigmented
Conclusion

I think the colors that I picked are gorgeous. They are a great alternative to black or brown for a little pop of color. I wished that they were creamier and a little easier to apply (as eyeliner). On the bright side, I really like the fact that they have a great staying power. Once you put them on, they won't budge until you take them off. Price-wise, I would advise to wait until they go on sale. My rating 8/10.
