So, I've had Maybelline gel eyeliner for over three months. Purchased mine outside Nigeria and been meaning to write a review, so here it is.
My spare Maybelline gel liner (What an unopened pack looks like)

It comes in a black pack as seen in the pictures above, a small brush (applicator) is included in it. This brush helps- especially if you don't have an eyeliner brush for this purpose. For best results, I make the brush a little damp (using facial wipes) before each use. Also I always wipe the brush to get rid of products after use.
Applicator/ Brush
Maybelline gel liner was used in achieving this look.
PROs: (a) It's very easy to use and you can achieve any intensity you want with it. (b) The 24hr written on the pack is valid, (I have never worn my makeup round the clock tho) but it stays till evening when am ready to take it off. (c) As opposed to some other products, it doesn't crease when worn without an eyeshadow or primer as a base- simply put, you can apply it alone if you are not the 'makeup type'.
NB: I have a very oily lid that makes eye shadows crease if worn without primer.
CONs: The brush (applicator) makes the product finish more quickly, *lol. What I mean is, it sometimes absorbs more product than needed (which ends up in my wipes when I clean the brush). You might be able to control this, or use another applicator ( a thinner brush).

Pricing: I bought it at an equivalent of 1200 to 1500 (depending on conversion rate), which I believe is worth.
As at the time of putting this post together, this gel liner is not (YET) available at the Maybelline Nigeria. Hopefully it should be soon. It's a really good gel liner and I would totally buy again.
My little Maybelline collection.
