Great eyeliner!

This pencil is everything I wanted in a waterproof pencil liner. Except when I fall asleep in this I wake up with crazy raccoon eyes. Which is not the case if I fall asleep wearing Urban Decay's 24/7 eyeliners. But I will forgive Tarte for this because I shouldn't be falling asleep in my makeup. :) It's a super creamy, very well pigmented black (Onyx) and it applies like a dream - No tugging or pulling whatsoever! My trusty Grindhouse sharpener (UD) did not meet the challenge, however, of sharpening this pencil. Actually, none of my sharpeners did. :/ This was obviously problematic. The tip of the pencil kept breaking off. I'm chalking this issue up to a faulty sharpener. Today I bought another Grindhouse and the Tarte pencil sharpened just fine.

Also, the smudger is actually useful! I liked the smoky look it gave. It does set pretty quickly though so keep that in mind! I'm not sure if I would repurchase, if only because it doesn't perform very well on the waterline.
