REVIEW: GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pens

Hello Everyone,

I've had GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pens for at least 6 month now, and been using them regularly. I have three of them, Black, Turquoise, and Brown, and I can tell you that I'm extremely impressed with these little liners. If I had to pick, these would be my favorite ones and the ones I use the most out of all the eyeliners I have.


What they say: 

It dries very quickly and will not fade or smudge. The super skinny tip makes the application very easy. The ingredient combination of this product provides an intense shine an extreme long-lasting-wear. GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner is now available in 8 fantastic colours.
The optimal drying time allows the product for blending.

What I say: 
Each of these costs £5.99 at Superdrug, but they are frequently on sale 3 for 2, and you get 1.8ml (0.1fl oz) of product. I wouldn't say the tip is super skinny, but it's small and flexible enough to draw a fine line, or a fuller line. This tip offers a pretty good control, so even if you're not great at using eyeliner, you should not have much trouble with these. You can see the tip in the photos below. 









002 Turquoise - is a nice blue-green, but I wouldn't call it turquoise if I didn't know the name. To me, turquoise is brighter than this shade, but even if I'm picky about the name, I still love it. See more photos here.




003 Brown - this is my favorite shade from the bunch. I love how it is sparkly but at the same time without any glitter. The shade works very well with my eyes, making the eye color pop. It is also the most opaque of the three. See more photos here




006 Black  - I have plenty of plain black eyeliners, but I picked this one up because it was an unusual black. It is black with fine gold shimmer, which you can see very well in the swatch above. Unfortunately it is the most runny of the three, so I have to paint over the line 2 or 3 times in order to get it as opaque as I like it. It is also my least favorite. More photos here



These eyeliners apply great and stay on for good 10-12 hours on me without smudging. They do take a little bit to dry, so I have to be careful about opening my eyes too wide or they will transfer to the top lid. But once they dry, they stay put. I haven't tried blending any of them, but I would imagine that it is possible since they take some time to dry. 


One minor gripe I have with these is that during makeup removal, they collect into these little black/brown/turquoise balls that get all over the place and sometimes into my eyes. Sometimes I feel like I can just pull the eyeliner off the same way I pull off fake eyelashes. But really, whatever happens during makeup removing process should stay there right? 


Overall, I love these and would recommend them to anyone looking to try some fun liquid eyeliner shades. Have you tried any of these?

  3. hey iv never tried these before but im really tempted now, the brown one looks really nice and different to the plain black i wear on a daily basis. what have you used on your lower lash with the black liner? that gold/copper colour is stunning.

  4. Thank you for the comment :) I've used Collection 2000 Glam Metallics in Fierce, but I'm afraid it's discontinued :( At least I don't see it in stores anymore. (You can still find it online though).

    I think you'll really like the brown one, it is not typical dark brown.

  7. Oh bummer than you can't! I know I will miss it when I go back to US because it's not as readily available as it is in UK.

  9. Oooh, felt tips!! I wonder how these compare to the MUFE Aqua Liners....these are certainly a better price! Great review!

  10. The tips certainly look very similar to me, but I've never tried MUFE anything so I wouldn't know about the quality :( I do like that they have a lot more shades to choose from :) Also, Gosh ones are pretty similar to Urban Decay ones too (minus the shades quantity).
