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!

Shade Very Berry
I was very excited for this eyeliner but was eventually disappointed. It's a very pretty shade, and similar to a more muted Clinique Gel Tech liner in Black Honey, but not as pigmented and does not stay where you put it. If you try to do the cool "eyeliner, then smudge before it sets" technique, you find that the liner seems to lift off from where you initially put it, so instead of nice gradient smudgy effect, you get patchy areas and then it all seems to disappear. I finally put it in my "giveaway to my teen" basket when about 1/3 of the pencil in, it stopped sharpening. By "stopped sharpening," I mean I would see the end was not sharp, so I tried to sharpen it with my good quality Nars pencil sharpener, and the color product would break off inside the sharpener. It happened 3x, with my having to clean the gunk out of the sharpener each time. The low price is still bad value if you can't use it at all. And for me, it is not worth the inconvenience of the "keeping it in the freezer in case I want to use it but it may not be sharp because it needs to be frozen before sharpening" method. I'll spend the extra money for something I can keep with my makeup so I can do it fast without having to think about it too much.
Only got to use this once
I only got to use this one time because the tip broke off.
Stay & Play indeed!!
Ok so if you want a gel liner thats pigmented, glides easy on the waterline and stays put then this is the one. It stays on until you take it off. Leaving only 4 stars due to its stubborn to remove but definitely worth it if you need something that lasts
Works great!
It goes on smoothly and stays all day like you just put it on.
