Revlon's Bedroom Eyes

I saw an ad for this in a magazine and i just picked up at the supermarket. I paid about $9. I thought it looked really cool in the ad. Like a VERY smoky eye look which I often try to make in other ways with eyeliner and shadow. Incase you don't know it's a "powder liner". Like a sponge-tip brush that sticks in a little pot of powder. I bought "fishnet jet" which is black but it comes in dark navy, plum, and brown shades also. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried it yet b/c I find it very hard to use. I ended up with the powder dusted all over my cheeks and looked like a chimney sweep and I had to use make-up remover to get it all off. Does anyone have any tips on making it less messy or any ideas on a neater way to apply it? I like the idea but its's very hard to use. Thanks in advance.....

p.s. I couldn't find a good picture of the product but it looks like a bottle of liquid eyeliner but inside is powder instead of liquid.

I've been wanting some of this for a while but keep forgetting about it.

Maybe I'll actually be of some help when I get it.

thanks. Let me know how it goes for you.

I guess you just have to tap out the applicator really well first. it still usually dusts over my cheeks and temples a little so I have to makeup-remover it and then re-apply powder and bronzer around the area. It's a fun look for nighttime. With a little glimmer of shadow and cheek highlighter. So sexy! Just risky with such a high mess factor. Plus, like with kohl liner you have to make sure not to touch or you'll be smudgy. Like Bert from Mary Poppins. That was his name right?

hmm.. Does sound like a mess. Did you try putting lots of loose powder around the area? Then it should sweep off easier. Also, maybe putting it on your eyes right after something liquid/creamy would make it stay put better. And then lining over it with a pencil? I don't know, I'll have to try it..
