Catrice new range: gel eyeliner *brown*

i am a diehard optimist -  although i was quite disappointed by the black version of this ("01 Black Jack with Jack Black" - look here),  i threw out another 4€ for the brown one "02 It's Mambo Nr. 2".
i shouldn't.
but the colour in the glass jar is just gorgeous! a dark cool brown with fine shimmer.
it has a thicker consistency than the black one, although it looks too dry on my arm-swatches, i was very surprised how well it applied, it glides on the lid smoothly and evenly. i like the colour very much, i can make a thick winged line with this without it looking too harsh like with a black eye liner.
sadly i was also surprised by it's negative points: as i looked into the mirror by mid-day, i had two thick transfer-lines on my upper lid. those even were quite hard to remove, ironically.
:(((
i wished they would improve it as soon as possible.

this is how it looks swatched: don't let the first impression fool you! when applying to the lid it glides very smoothly. but it's a great colour, isn't it?

it's not very smudge-proof, though: this is how it looks after i rubbed it a little bit with a dry cosmetic tissue.
