Face of Australia Mechanical Eyeliner in Gold - Review

Hey everyone!

So a few weeks ago my box of goodies came and in there was my gold Face of Australia Mechanical Eyeliner.

At first glance I thought it was alright - the packaging was simple and nothing fancy, but then again I wasn't expecting anything more. However, the VERY FIRST TIME I opened it, the eyeliner came flying out of the plastic and landed on the floor! So I had the eyeliner part of it in one hand and the plastic packaging in the other. Was very dissapointed with how poorly made it was. After temporarily succeeding in putting it back in, I tested out the colour. Now, I chose gold because I'm trying my hand at Old Hollywood Glamour (:D) but after swatching this product I found that it was less of a gold and more of a pale, mustardy yellow, and you needed 5 or 6 swipes for it to actually do anything worthwhile. I ended up using it as an inner-corner highlight until the 4th day I had it and the eyeliner stick snapped in half! I threw it out after that - wasn't worth the hassle.
I tried to like this product even after its dissapointing first impression but to no avail.

The moral of the story?? You get what you pay for. There are much better eyeliner products out there.

Did anyone else have similar problems?? Let me know your opinion of it.

Until next time :)
