I'll definitely have to check these liners out! Thanks for the rec, Aquilah!

It was about 7 years ago CVS bought out Revco in Georgia... Eckerds were going out of business and Walgreens was booming! I dunno what it's like now since I haven't lived in Augusta in 2 years, but that's what it was like when I left.

Aquilah, I managed to visit Boots but they didn't have the Vinyl Jelly Gloss Lipliner either!!! they only sell 1000 kisses Lipliner £2.99 (= $6) and Exaggerate Lipliner £3.49 (= $7)

As I said I really wanted to buy something, I purchased Wet 'n' Wild Lipliner (4 Fab Fucha) it was £1.49 (= $3) the reason I bought was it looked like it was the cheapest one I could find in there. oh well.

Same here in Finland. I couldn't find those gloss liners

Well, we always seem to get new products a couple months late in our stores. But isn't weird...Rimmel is an UK based brand and people in the US are able to buy new stuff from them before us in Europe.

That's very kind of you Aquilah

If i can't handle Wet 'n' Wild, I will ask your help!

Gleam84, do you know how much are those lipliners (1000 kisses & Exaggerate) cost in Finland?

Well, now I'm curious what is available in Japan.

I read on another forum that all these pencils are not your ordinary lip liner, it's more like a gloss in a pencil. More like a sheer lip liner.

I'll definately be on the lookout for them next time I'm in the States. Thanks!

 

[badbadgirl]

Thanks for the rec- I want to check these out.

It doesn't take as much "blending" and softening to get them to not look "harsh" as with a regular l/l.

The first thing I do is smudge my liner with my finger after putting it on anyway and I find I don't have to do that with this. Yeppers! I was tempted to use Fudge w/ my NYC Cafe the other day, but I didn't. I really do like these a lot, and since I prefer glosses over l/s, then this works well for me! Time to buy more ASAP! LOL!

I agree. I am spoiled!! XD I prefer the regular pencils, they give me better control; I guess it's just a preference.
