Inglot AMC Gel Liner in 77: First Impressions

‘If this doesn't get me into eyeliner, than nothing will’ were my first thoughts while I was paying for Inglot AMC Gel Liner in 77 ($15 for 5.5 g) at the register. I wear it so rarely but seeing myself pinning so much eyeliner looks really reflected my inner need to get on that cat-eye bandwagon train.

I did manage to apply my L'Oreal So Couture Super Liner (my fave from the felt tip category) and the Bourjois Ultra Black Liner was also fab for thick, graphic lines. But… I rarely wear graphic eyeliner in real life and the L'Oreal one dried up eventually – I rarely repurchase makeup I don't use on a everyday basis. Gel eyeliners seemed soo interesting but intimidating as well. One gel eyeliner popped up every time I browsed for something good online and I finally took the plunge earlier this month.

I think that this Inglot eyeliner still needs to prove itself in months ahead so these are going to be my impressions on it so far. Inglot AMC Gel Liner has the potential to become one of my absolute holy grail make-up products – even though I admittedly don't use eyeliner every day, I have started wearing it roughly every other day since I've purchased it and I can honestly say I haven't used another eyeliner since.

• ‘Ako me ovo ne gurne u svijet ajlajnera, nista nece’ rijeci su koje sam u sebi izgovarala dok sam na kasi placala Inglot AMC Gel Liner #77 (27KM za 5,5g). Toliko rijetko nosim tus ali sam se bezbroj puta uhvatila kako na Pinterestu sumanuto trepcem i pinujem fotkice tusa na 101 nacin, tako da mi je postalo jasno da imam zelju cesce ga nositi.
• Solidno sam se snalazila sa L'Oreal So Couture Super Liner tusem (meni najdrazi flomaster tus) a Bourjois Ultra Black Liner tus je stvarno odlican za iscrtavanje onih debljih, grafickih linija. Ali realnost je da rijetko kada nosim takav stil tusa na ocima a nakon sto mi se L'Orealov tus isusio, nisam imala motivaciju da ga ponovo nabavim – rijetko kada obnavljam zalihe proizvoda koje ne koristim na svakodnevnoj bazi. Gel tusevi su mi odavno djelovali zanimljivo ali sam ih se pomalo i plasila. Koknkretno jedan gel ajlajner se stalno ponavljao kada god sam na netu trazila nesto pristojno a pocetkom ovog mjeseca sam se odvazila na kupovinu.
• Mislim da se ovaj Inglot ajlajner tek treba dokazati u narednim mjesecima tako da ce ovaj post biti moji prvi utisci. Reci cu vam da ima potencijal postati jedan od apsolutnih HG proizvoda – iako i sama priznajem da tus rijetko nosim. Ali cinjenica je da otkako sam kupila Inglot ajlajner, nosim ga svaki drugi dan dok sam sve ostale ajlajnere prestala u potpunosti koristiti.

It comes in a massive 5,5 gram tub, which will last you forever. I used to think I would prefer a glass jar but I must admit that the plastic pot is more travel-friendly but without a luxe factor. It seems to be the most pigmented eyeliner in the world! It's superior to anything I have tried and you really feel like you're getting the most for your money as 5,5g is a huge amount for this type of product. If you tend to be loyal to one product, this will be great for you.

Texture is very creamy – it applies and glides over the skin like butter. I literally only have to dab the tip of the brush onto the surface to pick up the product and can line away with ease. There's no dragging at all and no cracks. It is the most economical eyeliner because one tiny dot of it creates a line along the lashes. And it is literally the blackest black – no hint of blue or grey! I can attest that it is indeed waterproof, smudgeproof, flake-free, color intensity lasts all day, does not transfer onto the surrounding skin (yay for hooded eyes like mine!) and it stays put on the waterline.

It is not the easiest to remove, only oil-based removers do the trick and it still leaves small residue on the under part of lashes. Packaging is minimalistic and the eyeliner had a protective seal under the lid which is great – and it hinted that it may be prone to drying out. I will be keeping track of it in case it dries too quickly, probably shall buy Inglot Duraline regardless of how this eyeliner performs as I think those drops might come handy. Just imagine turning any eyeshadow into a creamy eyeliner? Great for experimenting without breaking the bank too often. 

I am mostly worried about this little guy drying out quickly as it already seems to be losing that initial creaminess and I am still searching for the perfect eyeliner brush to apply it with. Currently I'm using the Real Techniques Deatiler Brush and the Essence Precise Eyeliner Brush but they're not my perfect match. Any suggestions on what to pick up?

• U posudici cete dobiti 5,5 grama proizvoda sto ce trajati u nedogled. Nekada sam mislila da preferiram staklene posudice ali plasticno pakovanje je dosta lakse i pogodnije za prenosenje, samo oduzmite luksuz iz te jednacine. Sto se tusa tice, ostavlja dojam najpigmentiranijeg na svijetu! Stvarno je superioran u odnosu na sve sto sam imala priliku isprobati i sa njim zaista imate osjecaj da ste za izdvojeni novac dobili nesto vrijedno jer je 5,5g za gel ajlajner ogromna kolicina. Ukoliko imate tendenciju da postanete vjerni proizvodima, ovo ce biti super za vas.
• Tekstura mu je jako kremasta – nanosi se i klizi preko koze kao puter. Bukvalno vrhom kista dotaknem povrsinu ajlajnera, sto pokupi dovoljno proizvoda za iscrtavanje linije. Nema povlacenja i isprekidanih linija na kapku. Najekonomicniji je ajlajner jer samo iz jedne tackice mozete razvuci cijelu liniju duz trepavica. I stvarno je potpuno crn – nema plavih niti sivih primjesa. Mogu potvrditi da je vodootporan, ne razmazuje se, ne rasipa se i ne upada u oci, intenzitet boje je isti tokom cijelog dana, ne preslikava se na okolnu kozu (super vijest za vlasnice hooded ociju, poput mojih!) i mozete ga koristiti na waterline-u.
• Nije ga najlakse skinuti, to sam uspjela samo sa uljanim skidacima i opet ostane tragova izmedju trepavica i unutar kapka. Pakovanje je minimalisticko a ispod poklopca se nalazila i zastitna folija koja je dala naslutiti da je ovaj ajlajner sklon isusivanju. Bas cu to pratiti u narednim mjesecima a Inglot Duraline kapi cu svakako kupiti jer mi se cine prakticnim. Uz njih mogu pretvoriti svaku sjenu u kremasti ajlajner – odlicno za eksperimentisanje a ne iziskuje pretjerane ni dodatne troskove u varijaciji boja.
• Mene najvise brine ta mogucnost isusivanja jer sam vec primjetila da je ajlajner mrvicu izgubio na onoj pocetnoj kremastoj teksturi. Takodjer sam u potrazi za idealnim kistom koji bih koristila uz ovaj tus. Trrenutno koristim Real Techniques Deatiler kist i Essence Precise Eyeliner kist koji su ok ali ne savrseni. Koji bi mi vi kist preporucile da kupim?
