Maybelline EyeStudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner to Launch in Ireland

We oohed and aahed over that lovely-looking Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Eggplant yesterday and lamented the fact it's not available on our shores.

I have news.

Pretty much the second our daily email newsletter went out we heard back from Maybelline who had the following to report: they were very glad we'd liked it BECAUSE IT'S LAUNCHING HERE FROM FEBRUARY 1st!

Oh yes! YAY!

In a fortunate and serendipitous alignment of moons and stars and other celestial yokes, while I was buying and trying state-side, Maybelline Ireland was planning to bring the product here anyway.  So we'll see one shade first, the black, and like our US sisters, ours will come with that very nifty little brush too. So, that's all excellent news and the last thing to report is price: we'll pay €11.99 for it here.

Whaddya reckon? A decent price for a good product plus brush, or is the exchange rate hike just a bit more than you're happy to pay?
