Teal
I have the Teal shade and it is a very good color it brings out the green in my hazel eyes that are mostly green. I love the bold look it gives me as I wear it on my eye lids. I say it was a good buy and very well at that. Teal is one of my favorite colors and this is my favorite eyeliner to wear.
GREAT Pigment
I love this eyeliner! It's very smooth and easy to blend, with great color! My only complaint would be about the brush that came with it; the hairs are too stiff and it hurts my eyelid, but I just use my own brush n__n About the flaking issue a couple of other people have mentioned, I just dampen my brush a little bit and I don't have that issue. Overall a great buy!
Love Love Love
This is a fantastic cream eyeliner formula. It is extremely thick and highly pigmented, just as the HIP line from L'Oreal is advertised to be. I love the consistency and the way it feels when it's applied. If smudged, it can be very difficult to remove (use concealer for smudged/messy makeup!) because the pigmentation is so intense. Just apply it slowly and it should be fine. I like to use my Avon ergonomic eyeliner brush when using this product, and not the little brush that comes in the box. The little one is a bit too spiky for me and pokes my eyelid :P But the formula is great. A little expensive, but it is very good. A cheaper dupe is the Wet N Wild cream eyeliner, but I haven't been able to find that anywhere but online lately...
Good but could use some improvements.
I agree with Hayne, it is a good product but it can flake and get into the eyes. The colors are fantastic and can be brightened up with a hit of eyeshadow on top of the liner while its still setting. You would be better off springing for the Tarte version of this instead.
Kind of like it but...
I like the product, but at the same time I feel meh about it. It tends to flake and irritate my eyes, and on top of the it dries a little too fast for my liking. Pigmentation is great though! I can't use this on my waterline, and I guess I'm applying too much, because it tends to crumble on application.
On the other hand, it's really easy to use, and I'll continue buying it. I think the price is good, and I can deal with some inconveniences until I get the courage to buy more expensive cream eyeliner.
I like this product. The pigmentation is great. I own the green one but can't remember the name. The only problem I have with this is that I feel like I need to get a lot of product on the brush for it to apply smoothly. That or I need to move the brush around the jar a lot in order to make the liner a little smoother (kinda like when you see people "warm up" shadesticks with their hands). If I don't do that, then I find myself dipping in the jar a lot. But when all the conditions are just right (LOL) it applies like a dream. Some people have indicated that this products flakes but I honestly haven't noticed that. It lasts all day without a problem. It might be a little on the pricey side for a drugstore brand but the pigmentation on some of these makes certain colors worth it. I got the green because its the only shade of green that I've seen that is pretty (at least for my taste). Overall, not a bad product to have if you don't mind the $10 price tag.
Nice color...not so nice product
Although I've been using and loving my Maybelline cream eyeliner, I decided to give this a try because it was on sale and I had additional coupons. When I tried to apply the color (fresh out the box) it was dry and difficult to apply. I didn't even think about using the brush it came with, it seemed like it would scratch my eye up too much! I would apply the product with an angled eyeliner brush and it dragged and pulled and was thick. Maybe I got a bad/old box that should've been tossed out but based off my experience I wouldn't use this again. I did love the color!
This is the only eyeliner I use and I absolutely love it. I only found it to flake on my bottom lash line, but only after long use. A trick I use is to apply some black eyeshadow with a flat angled brush over the area I applied the eyeliner. It glides effortlessly and it's not as messy as liquid eyeliner.. and I HATE liquid eyeliner lol but yeah ..I love it.
