NATURE REPUBLIC Gel Eyeliners

gel liners are my absolute favourite type of eyeliner

they are the ones i SOLELY SWEAR BY

NO OTHER; IRREPLACEABLE

ok i assume you get my point

 

why you may ask?

compared to pencil liners, gel liners are easier to use because the colour comes on with less force

i have used pencil liners in the past and my eyelids hurts from all that scratching done trying to perfect the shade i want

compared to liquid liners, they are easier to remove if you make a mistake while drawing, and dont leave faint black patches (from the erasing) as badly as liquid liners

 

granted, there is negativity too

its harder to achieve a perfectly straight line with gel liners than say liquid liners

but thats what sharpeners are for! (:

ok there are days where im lazy to sharpen my liners and i just end up drawing thicker lines haha

 

also i feel that gel liners gives you a gentler look compared to liquid/pencil liners and doesnt make you look as fierce/bitchy if your drawn line is too thin

 

introducing, my secret weapons!

 

 
from top to bottom: botanical gel eyeliner, provence gel eyeliner, and lastly the tropical dream gel eyeliner

 
and all 3 are from NATURE REPUBLIC

 
looooove nature republic's packaging
always so environmentally friendly~

 
and here are the tips of my eyeliners
i love multi-function products!
at the end of the provence liner is a smuger for you the create the smoky sorta effect, and the other two has sharpeners at their ends

 
closer look at the ends

 
let me just say that i am very guilty of drawing my eyelines in the car/taxi on the way to work
and i really hate it when the tip of my liner is blunt because it just adds on to the difficulty level of drawing while on the move!
so i always sharpen my liners in the car with these end sharpeners
so convenient!

and swatches

basically all three liners has the SAME IDENTICAL EVERYTHING BUT ITS NAME (or colour)
same price (7000원), same texture, same creaminess, same consistency, same effect, same everything
im guessing that it only differs in name because it was released at different periods after the discontinuation of the previous one

so the tropical dream was the first one ever that i chanced upon last june
and i bought like 5 back and finished 4 by september
no i will not admit that im an addict, but i blame myself for sharpening too much off each time )':

then my friend went to korea in december and got me the botanical one but in brown (i had asked for black)
but it was an AWESOME MISTAKE
because i am now in love with the brown! ^^
this brown actually makes me look so much gentler, like my eyes are enhanced but its not that obvious that im using eyeliner to enhance them
*when i go to korea (in 2 weeks time!) im gonna get more browns!!

and the 3rd one, the provence liner, my colleague got them for me just 2 months ago when she went to korea
i got them because i had finished exams and was going to work like almost everyday and so i needed more of my staple liners in case they run out

if im not wrong, there's a whole provence line in nature republic besides my gel liner
there's provence lipsticks, provence eyeshadows, provence foundation, provence nail polishes etc

whatever it is, i hope nature republic continues their gel liners forever
name or no name i honestly dont care
as long as its there!

i really dont know where else to get these other than from nature republic in korea
i tried online stores but they are always overpriced or sold out ):
if you see them being sold on the internet, tell me!
