Beauty Bargain: Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner

Before I bought this eyeliner I used Rimmel's Exaggerate Eyeliner, but I've always been intrigued by felt tip eyeliners so I decided to give this a try. Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner costs a mere £2.99 and for this what you see is what you get. The product is probably about as long as a pen and quite slim, with large felt tip end. 

For the price I'm surprised about how pigmented the colour is - it's very black! It's not at all grey. As you can see from the picture it's also very easy to achieve a thin line and build it up into a thicker line. 

I personally find this felt tip liner easier to apply than a normal brush type eyeliner; there's no excess to deal with and the tip is so precise that it's simple to achieve a straight line. I only wear black liquid eyeliner for nights out and a eyeliner flick is a must for me, I just love the look! In general I'm not the best at doing them - I take ages as I find it hard to get both eyes to match - but I think it's easier to create the flicks with this eyeliner. However this does lead me to the only negative of Collection 2000's offering - when doing flicks if you angle the pen so the tip is facing upwards for too long, the formula doesn't come out very well. Exactly like a pen! 

I haven't worn this for 24 hours but it lasts through a night out! Yet it's easy to remove with face wipes or makeup remover. 

I've had this for quite awhile, but as I don't use it daily I can't accurately judge how long it's lasted so far unfortunately.

The Verdict

For £2.99 I think Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner is a great budget eyeliner. I don't think it's the best eyeliner out there, but for me it does the job really well and I will definitely re-purchase. 

This eyeliner is also available in the colours blue, purple and teal. To view the range click here.
