Lethal Cosmetics Harvested, Fidelity, Vinyl Side FX Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Harvested
Lethal Cosmetics Harvested Side FX Gel Liner ($15.50 for 0.17 oz.) is a deep red with warmer undertones and a matte finish. I noticed this shade took longer to dry down than other shades (even ones that didn’t seem dried out at all).
- Nearly opaque pigmentation
- Smooth, lightly creamy texture that was easy to maneuver with
- Applied evenly with a brush
- Long-wearing (10 hours without fading)

Formula Overview
$15.50/0.17 oz. - $91.18 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "smudge- and water-proof" with "uncompromising intensity" that "does not budge." They have a very fluid, gel-like consistency that glides readily over skin with both finer, more angled liner brushes, fine-tipped brushes, and flat, synthetic brushes (more for applying as a cream eyeshadow or base).
They were intensely pigmented and delivered even coverage that was quick to set into place. They lasted for over 10 hours with minimal fading and no visible migration when I used them on my lower lash line, though there was a bit of emphasis on skin texture from the fully set dry-down.

The formula looks a little thick to me, from the swatches, which is possibly why some of them take longer to dry down than others. Quite vibrant shades and Harvested is a stunning red shade.
I’ll have me some Fidelity, please! Perfect tone of purple for a winged liner moment! 💜
LOVE gel pot liners, I’m so glad to see some more affordable options than, say, the very nice but also huge and slightly more expensive Inglot ones.
