Most bloggers, including me, would've considered this prod as a wonderful gel liner staple if only it stayed creamy long enough. I noticed the gel liner hardening by the 7th or 8th week of usage. And up until three weeks ago, this beauty product was simply stashed inside my drawer, boxed and a big part of it unused.
Fanny Serrano Gel Liner in Black, more or less 400php (~$8)
So what I did was:
1. boiled 2 cups of water
2. prepared a ceramic mug with a lid
3. tightened Fanny Serrano Gel Liner's cap
4. poured the boiling water inside the mug, submerged the gel liner (and prayed that the product was truly tightly sealed, you wouldn't want water in it), covered the mug, and waited for 20 minutes.
The gel liner has a thick frosted container so I thought that it might be necessary to submerge it for a long 20-minute period.
And it worked!!!! For a second, after getting it out of the water, I thought that I failed because it really didn't change much in appearance (hence, I didn't take a pic); however, I lightly glided my pinky on its gel surface and it actually felt like how it did the first time I bought it.
I now have a creamy, inexpensive, HG gel liner!
Nice! I might try that gel liner too.. only that... I'm not really good with gel eyeliners. Haha! Thanks for sharing that tip. I'll remember this one. :P
ReplyDeleteawww nice idea!!:)
ReplyDeleteomg! i have the same experience, it was my HG liner 1-2 times of use but it dries so quickly. this is a very helpful tip, buti hindi ko pa natapon yung akin. thanks so much for this!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that heating it would be the solution. Heating may change some of its chemical components though. But anyway, you said it worked so I believe you. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I read one blogger added a few drops of baby oil on her Fanny Serrano gel eyeliner and according to her, it worked too.
Lots of love,
No need to throw unused make-ups! I'm glad it worked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll try that with my MAC gel liner to see if it will work for me too ^_^
ReplyDeleteI have this too and it has lost some of its creaminess. Thanks for the tip. But it smudges on me though. :P
ReplyDeleteit's great that you've made it HG :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same tutorial as yours.
ReplyDeleteang galing noh? works like magic. :D
Genius idea! I like doing this sometimes with mascara too.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! i'm glad it worked :D it's always sad when you have to throw out a product just because it's dried up, but looks like you've brought yours back to life nicely! xx
ReplyDeleteSayang yung FS ko, i gave it away. will try this sa other gel liners ko. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow long does it stay creamy? or do you have to do this before using? hehe I laso have one that beginning to harden and theres too much left so I find it a waste to toss it
ReplyDeleteawesome!
ReplyDeletei threw my fanny serrano gel liner as son as it dried na e..
di bale, when i decide to purchase it again, i'll definitely do this.
^_~
thanks for the tip :F
ReplyDeleteOh my, my maybelline gel liner is hardened na din.
ReplyDeleteI read a few tutorials na you can mix a few drops of visine with it tapos ok na ulit. Kaso, i'm scared that the visine will destroy the formulation somehow.
I'll try this
