Little Black Bow (part of the Glamour Daze collection) is one of my favourite fluideline gel eyeliners from MAC.
It's a dark grey shade with tiny little iridescent glittery particles, sooo pretty. Little Black Bow is such a nice change from the bold black eyeliner that I normally wear (Blacktrack by Mac is my current 'go to'), it's nice to mix things up every once in a while, don't you think?
Seeing as it's a glittery shade, I know I should have really blogged about this for the Christmas and party season, but I totally forgot I had it, woops!
Gel liner application can be a little tricky if you aren't used to using a brush for your eyeliner. I know I struggled at first, but the more you practice, the easier you'll find it. I find Gel eyeliner the best for getting that really clean cut, precise line, like a ribbon effect.
Now let's talk staying power. Mac Fluidline eyeliners have the best staying power I've ever found in an eyeliner, by far! They literally don't budge, you can apply in the morning, wear all day, and head for a night out and it literally doesn't move. It's also really easy to remove too, perfect.
I didn't swatch this for you, as it seems to be difficult to capture on camera, I promise you it's gorgeous in real life though!
Little Black Bow is £15.50 for a 3g pot, which seems to last forever and ever! So it's completely justifiable.
Have you tried Little Black Bow? What's your 'go to' eyeliner?
the price is actually not so bad! and the colour of this is gorgeous! but i've tried the maybelline gel liner and i am just awful at it! i find it really hard to keep my hand steady! maybe it will take practice before im willing to pay the higher prices! i just use any old black liquid liner! :)

I've never used a mac gel liner (I have the maybelline one too though and love it) but I have used mac kohl and pro longwear liners and they are amazing! Stay put all day, even in hot weather :) Definitely worth the money xx

This looks and sounds so pretty! I use Mac's fluid line or Bobbi Brown's Black gel liner, both are really good :)

this sounds lovely, a nice change from black. ive been using the maybelline gel eyeliner and now ive got the hang of usuing a brush i love it :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks very pretty! I really need to get some gel eyeliner as it looks so amazing, then maybe I'll be able to try this!xo
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely, I'm normally a liquid liner girl but have recently been practising with gel liner! I love the bobbi brown or maybelline gel pot! Which brush do you use with gel liner? xx
ReplyDeleteI find the MAC ones run really easily on me. Its a shame because they have the best colour range. The only one I have found that stays put for me is the elf one which is great as it is super cheap. It doesnt stay super black thought which is a shame :(

This looks stunning! I wish I could wear it but I have hooded eyes and no gel eyeliner ever seems to work on me:( xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning shade, i'm a sucker for anything slitter or with a irridencednt sheen to it on the eyes. MAC should make it a permanent colour if it's only out with the Glamour Daze Collection

Nice review. Ive never tried anything irridescent before but this looks like it could be versatile for different looks. Great post:)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a gel eyeliner before but i've wanted to give one a go for a while so thanks for the review! I've always stuck to liquid eyeliners in the past but am increasingly finding that they look too dark and full on!

ReplyDeleteI've never tried any gel eyeliners before. I bet I would completely make a mess or poke my eye!
ReplyDeleteI started a new blog and would appreciate any feedback on how to make it better! I'm new to the blogging world.

This is a lovely colour and such a sweet name! I find fluidlines crumble a bit after a while but it's good you don't have this problem! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this so much as I adore the Maybelline gel liner. May have to give this high end alternative a try! xxx
