But then, as was my luck, I couldn't find it anywhere. Either it's out of stock, or they haven't even received stock, or according to the dumb SAs, the product just doesn't exist. I looked for it for months. Nowhere was it found. I'd almost given up on finding it. Then, last week, I was shopping on commercial street, and wanted to have a look at the new colorbar counter at Empire Stores. And while I was checking out their lippies, i just randomly asked about the gel liner. And guess what, she had one last piece in stock. I couldn't believe my luck. But I really wish they'd introduced the other shades as well. I would love to get my hands on the eggplant one.
Price: Rs. 375/- for the tub and the brush. Pretty good deal I think.
The Good:
1. I like the cute tub. Its quite classy.
2. It glides on like velvet. I just love the texture of this liner, not too hard, not too liquidy.
3. The color pay-off is really good. For daily wear, I prefer matte liners instead of glossy ones. And this gives a very nice matte natural look.
4. It doesn't smudge at all.
5. Staying Power. I've worn it for over 8 hours, and it doesn't fade, feather or smudge.
6. It hasn't been recommended for the waterline. But I've used it on my waterline, and it works absolutely fine. And I do have sensitive eyes.
7. It's waterproof.
8. The brush really is good. But I still prefer my angled liner brush from Coastal Scents. So, I've been using this one as a lip brush.
9. Removes easily with makeup remover.
The Bad:
1. The quantity is quite less. But it looks like it will last a decent while since a little goes a long way.
Final Verdict: This is a great budget friendly option and I'd recommend it to everyone. I hope they come out with the other shades as well. I would love to try those as well.

@bhumika. i normally don't use eyeliners on my waterline. Stick to kajal for that. Used it only for review purposes.
And thanks. ya..i wanted the owl necklace.
I haven't reviewed the eos lipbalm yet. Kind of forgot about it.
And i'm not wearing lenses. I've been avoiding them recently. My eyes get very irritated. And my eyes are a little lighter than fathima's i think. or maybe not. :P
