   I now use this pencil because they discontinued my all-time favourite eyeliner pencil in my country which was the Essence Extreme Long Lasting pencil. But this is really really really a poor second to the Essence Extreme Long Lasting pencil. I could wear the Extreme one for over 24 hours and it would not budge! This one streaks within half an hour of applying or so, and it mustn’t be waterproof because it runs as I have watery, sensitive eyes. It’s an ok pencil and I can use it while I look for a replacement for my HG Essence Extreme Long Lasting pencil, as it is cheap (less than 2€). I do like very much that it is an automatic pencil so it twists up and I don’t need a sharpener, as it is so difficult to find a sharpener that is the right width, since they all seem to have different widths. ESSENCE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK YOUR EXTREME LONG LASTIING EYELINER PENCIL!!!

   Long lasting my a**. I rarely had such a terrible eyeliner like this!
   I was looking for a brown eyeliner for softer eyes days, as I like a strong cat eye in black. Essence is a nice playground for first timers wishing to try something new and unusual for them and staying on the cheap side, so I grabbed this one for about 1,80 euros (I think?) which is amazing. The pen itself is good, I have the restyled version with the twisting tip, so a sharpened is not required. The tip is soft and well pigmented, the colour is quite darker than a hot chocolate but still nice and looks definitely softer than black.
   Anyway, the staying power is ridicolous. It lasts a bit more with eyeshadow under it, but without any, it bleeds and fades and cracks withing a hour. I walked one evening to the supermarket near closing time, so it was cold outside, and after a 10 minutes walk I watched myself in the mirror while waiting in line and I had brown raccoon eyes! Whaaat! What a shame.
   I like the colour but I definitely won’t repurchase it.

   Excelente si se usa como lápiz, el color es fuerte, pero cuando lo aplico con un pincel, se seca antes de que pueda trabajar con él y el color es un poco menos concentrado :(. Dentro de todo, no es imposible trabajar con él. Salva mucho, ya que es muy barato 😀

   If you use it as a pen, is excellent: Very pigmented, but when I apply it with a brush, it dries out before I can work with it, and the color is a little bit less concentrated :(. Over all, is not imposible to work with. It saves you a lot, since its so cheap.

   The texture is quite soft, easy to apply, not smudge and long lasting.
   I would say it is better than many expensive eye pencils that I’d ever used.
   I can’t say it completely water-proof, but it has no ugly smudge or crease.
   I have 3 shades #Hot chocolate (Brown) and the another 2 are silver and purple, I do love all of them.

   The pen is an auto-pen, so it’s no need any sharpener, very convenience!

   Would definitely buy it again when run out!!!

   Discovering the Essence brand was the best thing to happen to my cosmetic life. I haven’t seen a thing yet from them that costs more that $3. This eye pencil was $2! It works better than pencils I’ve bought from both cover girl and avon for more than 3 times that. The colour is great, and the pencil doesn’t drag so application is super smooth. Definitely worth it.
