I miss the dark green!
I love the espresso eyeliner. It locks in place and stays all day. There used to be a dark green shade in this eyeliner that I really miss! It was my go to eyeliner for my green eyes. I wish you would bring back the dark green!

FREEZE TO SHARPEN. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD SHARPENER
Do not throw this away!! After you use the top edge, freeze the pen so its a little harder (if u need honestly this is optional) AND USE A SHARP— good razor sharpener for the pencil. I am literally using a 99 cent sharpener and it does just fine. Be gentle. If your razor isnt sharp and if the pencil is too soft, it wont sharpen well. Take your time, sharpen it slow, and try differenr sharpeners. This eyeliner is amazing pigment, easy to glide and super good for tight lining. LOVE IT.
Not possible to sharpen even with recommended sharpener
I was so excited to try this eyeliner, but found that it's not possible to sharpen it even with the recommended sharpener. The pencil shattered in the sharpener and is unusable. :(

cheap and amazing
Works wonderful and doesnt smudge, stays on forever. lots of people having issues with sharpening it for some reason. You just sharpen it like any other pencil. there's tons of product in it and im scared u guys are just throwing it away without using it all. yes the outer is plastic but just sharpen it, it's easy
An OK pencil
Ive tried the Black Pencil after liking the cream colored pencil and unfortunately the black would bleed around the eye area. If you are using this in your waterline or tight line you may encounter smudging and transfer issues. This is less noticable with the lighter colors but I would not recommendthe darker colors
Can't be sharpened!
