Link to product here
I picked this little lady up a while ago and it's only now that I've actually got round to reviewing it! I thought this was one of those twist-up eyeliners when I bought it and I was gutted to find out it wasn't.
Okay so here's the lowdown. The actual stuff that goes on your face is lovely - it's nice and soft, creamy, intensely black and goes on like a dream. It kind of sets and is ever so slightly smudge resistant. The sponge blender thing on the opposite end is actually rather good in my opinion: I was able to create a nicely smokey winged out look by dabbing a bit of product on my outer eye and blending out from there. However.
As with all pencil eyeliners, it was an absolute nightmare to sharpen. The product inside is so soft and creamy that any point you manage to coax out of the pencil will snap off if even a feather touches it. This feature also means that you're going to go through the initial point you get when you buy it fairly quickly - it's so soft the whole thing gets applied in just a few uses. The wood of the pencil might as well be made of Oak or something ridiculous like that - a sharpener just won't do the trick. This product is almost impossible to sharpen. I did manage to get some form of usable product out of the pencil the first time I sharpened it, but I was left with a horrible tiny spike at the end of the wood that literally scratched my entire waterline. I've wasted at least 1/4 of the product just from sharpening alone and after today I'm just going to throw it away because it's just not worth the hassle.
Overall: 4/10
I'd recommend switching to twist-up eyeliners.
