Review: Jordana Fabuliner!

I like to know a bit about a product before I go out and buy it. I'd been hearing a lot of good feedback on this product for the past six months, but for some reason, I still hesitated to buy it. Finally though, I bit my lip and spent the $2 it cost on this fabulous liner. I haven't regretted it.

Packaging: The packaging on this liner is minimal. It doesn't come in a box, but comes alone. The actual liner is slightly curved, which makes it easier to handle. It is sleek, and black (or brown depending on which color you buy).

Packaging Grade: A

Application: This liner applies wonderfully! It glides on seamlessly  and doesn't drag on your lid. I don't think that there is much else that I can say, other than it applies amazingly. This liner is perfect for winged-out looks.

Application Grade: A

Wearability: This liner wears fantastically. It stays on your upper lash line flawlessly. I haven't tried it, but it would probably wear well on your lower lash line if your eyes aren't teary. It somewhat holds on your tight-line, but definitely doesn't hold on your waterline. It doesn't budge unless you rub it vigorously  or get it wet.

Wearability Grade: B+

Cost: The cost of this liner is unbeatable. For a whopping two dollars, you receive this phenomenal liner, which doesn't budge! It is absolutely worth every penny.

Cost Grade: A

Longevity: So far, I've owned this liner for about two months, and it's still going strong. It hasn't lost it's pigmentation at all. It really is one of it's kind.

Longevity Grade: A

Total Grade: A


Final Thoughts: This liner is outstanding, perhaps the best liquid liner i've owned. It is also very affordable as well.

Would I Repurchase This Item? YES.
