Suqqu 03 Jet Bordeaux Eyeliner Creamy

I'm looking at my little pot of Suqqu Jet Bordeaux (03) Eyeliner Creamy, the one I've been using often for the last six months and trying to decide what color exactly it is. It's not exactly brown and not really black; it has a sheen but no shimmery particles- what is Jet Bordeaux?



London Makeup Girl called it " a soft black with subtle red/purple shimmer", so I'll go with that, though those of us who avoid red-based eye makeup have nothing to fear. This is not one of those colors.



Suqqu is a luxury Japanese cosmetics brand that is not available in the US (or most of Europe) unless you order online from one of the website that specialize in supplying this crack to the addicts. Everything I've tried from them so far has left me in love and frustrated. If Selfridges has a counter, why can't Bergdorf or Henri Bendel?



Suqqu's Creamy Eyeliner is no exception. It is creamy, works pretty much like a gel- easy to apply and control, stays on forever. One of the nice things about Suqqu's eyeliner is that it comes with a high quality mini retractable brush, so you can carry it with you and the brush doesn't get grimy and grungy.



Bottom Line: yes, please.
