Lavera Natural Soft Eyeliner Review

Image borrowed from http://www.lovelula.com/
Rating: 4/5, available from Lovelula for £8.50 (+ p&p). Available in black, brown & grey.

Eureka! A Lavera product that we got along with! It's not quite perfect, but as far as natural eyeliners go this one has good colour intensity and lasting power. Unlike the Lavera mascara that we blogged about last month, this product doesn't insist on leaving a residue under your eyes and is easy to remove.

It's caused no irritation and has attracted a few compliments, which is always nice. It is also easy to apply, so there's no needless dragging of the oh-so-delicate skin around the eyes, which is another bonus.

I don't know whether it's safe to use on the waterline, but it's staying power there is a little temperamental and probably depends on far more factors than I can think of right now. It's best used as a smudgey kohl pencil and can't really hold a slick line. Which is a shame because that would have earned this a 5/5, still a 4/5 is nothing to scoff at and is pretty good going given that up until now Lavera have failed to impress everyone (Ok, ok, me, Em and L) here at Treasure Boxes and Trinkets. Don't even get us started on our failed attempts with their shampoos, they did less for our hair than Dead Sea Spa Magik Shampoo...and that's saying something.
