Comments: I was so disappointed by this fluidliner. I was hoping for a lot of gold pearl/shimmer. But there was no Blitz, there was no Glitz... nada. The product itself is great, as the fluidliners go on smooth & perfect with my 209. It just wasn't what it was supposed to be, IMO, and I probably will not repurchase this shade.

Would you buy this product again? i don't think so..

like ladybug said, i was REALLY Hoping this would be more glitz i.e more of the gold glitter/shimmer showing, but alas it isn't.. i gave it a 3 because it is a FL so the staying power is wonderful and it applies very easily, but i don't think i'll buy it again..

I love this fluidline. I don't care about it not having too much glitz or blitz. I am really pale and blacktrack f/l is just so dark on me. B & G has just the right amount of sparkle in it to make it not so harsh on my ghost skin. I was hoping for a little more glitter, but overall, it is much more wearable the way it is. I have used this almost daily since I got it.

Comments: This is a beautiful alternative to black liquid liner. Not a harsh black that doesn't work with pale ghosties like me. Gold glitter is faint but warms it up.

I love this shade better than Blacktrack as it's not as harsh and the glitter shows up okay on me.
I absolutely love this.

Comments: Fluidlines rock, and I've found this to be a good alternative to Blacktrack for me. I'm too pale to get away with a straight black liner, but this is a bit softer and seems to work. Like it!

It's just too much like Blacktrack to me, I was really hoping for more sparkle. If you don't have blacktrack, and are okay with just a little shimmer, then it's great though, and I would reccomend it.

I really like this, the sparkles don't show as much as I would have liked. But overall it is a great muted black. Blacktrack is a little too in your face for me, this suits me much better.

Comments: As with other reviewers, I was a bit disappointed that the glitter didn't show up on me. I had been expecting something with a little more shimmer but I do like this fluidline because it isn't as dark as harsh as Blacktrack. Overall, it's a nice shade, but I don't think this is a must buy or something that I'd repurchase (not that I'd ever finish it since there's so much in the pot)

Comments: I LOVE this! Like almost everyone else has said, Blitz and Glitz is a great alternative to Blacktrack. I've found that as the more I use and get deeper into the pot, the more noticeable the gold shimmers become on my eye. Also, the gold is more noticeable when I use the 209 instead of the 266 brush.

It's too much like blacktrack! I was hoping for a lot more gold sparkle, but I was really disappointed. If you have blacktrack, pass on this one.

I love the entire line of fluidlines. Some are better than others in certain ways, but they are all useful. Blitz and Glitz is a subdued black with tiny gold shimmer, which does not really show up a lot. In fact, I would say that the overall appearance of it is an olive black. That is very useful if you like to use a lot of warm autumny colors. It still gives the illusion of being a black liner, but it really is more olive and does not clash with the warmer palette.

As a base, it is also very interesting to use under certain colors setting them off. I plan to get more of this if they ever get it in again. They are always out of it when I call.

Like Shawna, I find that most blacks are just too dark for my pale skin. Plus, I've got dark brown eyes, so if the eyeliner is too dark I just look very blah. Blitz & Glitz has that nice gold in it, though, so it looks pretty good on me. I guess the shimmer doesn't show up on a lot of people, but it *really* shows up on me, so I'd buy it again.

This color is not as exciting as it's name implies. The sparkle doesn't show up on me at all, but I still really like it. The color is a warmed soft version of black, not harsh at all. Definately a good purchase for pale girlies, or for someone who doesn't like a harsh black liner look. This color is very easy to wear.

I really use this FL a lot. I am really pale and I have very large brown eyes. It looks a lot softer on my light skin than Blacktrack would. I normally line my upper lids with Blitz & Glitz and use Phone Number e/k on the lowers.

I really like this fluidliner. It is black but not too harsh. The formula works for me and is long wearing as well as generally easy to apply.

Although I don't really notice the gold flecks, that doesn't bother me. I think it is a pretty color and a HG liner for me.

This was rather disappointing. The glitter doesn´t show at all, which is bad, and the black is still not soft enough to be nicer on my PPP skin than Blacktrack, so when I want a soft look, I use Richground instead. I don´t get much use out of this, sadly.

This is my HG of all the fluidliners I have. I'm an NC25 blonde hair blue eyes and it works perfectly. It has no blitz & glitz so that was a really dumb name and false to sell it like that but as far as a black liner if your pale, try this shade out with an angle brush

This is my very first fluidline, so I cannot compare to others, but I was extremely impressed with the ease of application and staying power. I love the effect of little sparkles along the lash line, it's not too glittery and perfect for wearing even during the day.

This is my third fluidline. I really like it as an alternative to Blacktrack on days when I want a slightly softer look. The gold flecks are very discrete, but that doesn't bother me, on the contrary. I didn't want glitter, just a slight shimmer, and Blitz'nGlitz delivers.

Comments: I love this color, because Blacktrack seemed too "harsh" on my skin tone. A lovely option instead of just black or brown! I love the sparkles too. And it lasts forever.

Would you buy this product again? I have already!

Comments: I understand for darker-toned complexions other than us pale-ghosties, that some people might be disappointed in BnG fluidline;
however, I am totally okay with not so much "glitz" LOL--This truly is a beautiful alternative to straight up in your face black liquid liner. As others have said, it is not at all a harsh black that doesn't work with fair skins and makes us look garish or washed out at times in more simpler eye looks ...the
gold glitter is faint but somewhat noticeable; I can still wear this to work without fear of wayward "where you goin' out tonight" looks my way.

This is a must have IMHO

My first fluidliner and my HG black liner. I am not pale (C35 here) and I think it's dark enough for me. I like the fact that the gold is not over the top and blatantly obvious. If you are looking for noticeable gold shimmer this is not it. If I run out I might try blacktrack next, but only because I would like to apply it to my waterline and the gold flecks in B&G kind of irritate my waterline.

I agree with many whom expected this product to have more of a sparkle to it after the application...but overall, this color is very natural, beautiful and it glides on effortlessly with my 209 brush. One thing I don't really like about the fluidlines is that while the packaging is so professional-looking and beautiful, if you were to drop the container on a hard surface it'd shatter. I saw a couple of the MAC display fluidlines and Paint Pots with broken containers still being used as displays. =P.

Would you buy this product again? For sure

I just recently fell in love with Fluidlines and I needed a black one. I compared it with Blacktrack and Blitz & Glitz just won me over. Blacktrack is very harsh especially with the colours that I use (teals, blues, golds, purples and pinks) so Blitz & Glitz fits my needs perfectly. I dont really care for the gold flake in it because I actually bought it on the bases that it DOESNT show too much of it. Overall for you girls looking for a warmer alternative to Blacktrack then Blitz & Glitz is for you
