Most Helpful Positive Review

Well, I'll be blasted

This gem of an eyeliner is further proof that quality does not have to cost the house. I've been looking up and down, left and right for a REALLY dark brown eyeliner. I tried just about everything: high end, low end, well-known brands, obscure brands, cheap, not so cheap, you name it. Most are ju...st too darned creamy, which means they smudge easily ... both in the good and bad sense. None of the ones I tried is really dark brown. They all say they are, but they fall short. Enter this wonderful product. Black brown (and they mean it), goes on easily, does NOT budge, stays on forever. I have only three minor complaints. a) it's a mechanical pencil, which I usually hate because they are darned nearly impossible to sharpen. b) it's not so easy to create a smokey look, so I have to work really fast. c) it's supposed to have a sharpener at the other end, but mine has nothing. It's empty. Maybe I got a defective one. However, these reasons are not enough to give it less than 5 stars because the performance is really good. PS: I found a way to sharpen it to a fine point. I use any other sharpener from a mechanical pencil (in my case, Revlon) and I turn the pencil counter clock. I got a lovely point. Partly because since the formula isn't so soft, it sharpens beautifully and does not break or crumble like all the others. I heartily recommend this pencil. And at the price, it's a real steal. I want to get the purple one now.
