Sleek Kajal Eyeliner

I've heard Kajal liners mentioned on several blogs before, and always wondered whether they would work for me, so I was pleased to be sent one of these new liners from Sleek Makeup recently to review. 

They are available in two shades - black and purple, and I was sent the purple shade to try. 

They are the original "self-sharpening eye liner", ie as you use it the point wears down evenly so it stay pointed...
This has a really soft smudgy waxy texture... not surprising given that it contains the following;
I really love the shiny wet look of this product when swatched and applied too - I was expecting this product to look and feel drier and be more intense, but the waxy shininess makes it wearable and blendable too...
The end of the liner does not have a very precise "sharp" tip, such as you would expect from a pencil liver for example, but in a way this adds to the casual effect this product gives..

It wears well on the waterline and is also a great product to tightline with, and seems a bit less tickly than using a pencil or brush. The soft smudgy texture means this can be blended out as a shadow in its own right, and also means it would work well as a base for powder shades. 
For this super easy look I lined and tightlined the eye with the kajal, swiped it above and below the lashlines and smudged out with a cotton bud. 

The product lasts really well on me, however if you have fine lines under the eyes, you may want to set the product under the eye with a powder as I did notice it melted into fine lines after a few hours. Nothing a quick finger swipe didn't sort out though!

The Sleek Kajal is also available in Black, and costs £3.99 at Superdrug
