   This is one of the best products I have ever used. It’s a cross between a gel and liquid eyeliner. It really stays put then washes off eaasily with water no makeup remover needed.The colors are lovely . I use boysenberry which shows off my dark green eyes and midnight plum.I also have the brown and black colors. I should really emphasize how allergic and sensitive my eyes are. The does not bother me at all. I am thrilled with this liner and intend to buy all of the colors.They are all natural and dirt cheap!Run don’t walk to try them you won’t be sorry!

   I have this in That Black and I’ve been using it for months now.

   Pros:
   – Non-irritating
   – True black
   – Reasonably priced

   Cons:
   – Extremely water soluble
   – Formula is a little thin and requires 2 coats.

   I’m a long time user of this brand’s face products. I’ve stayed with them for years because they make extremely simple products that make it easy for someone like me who has a number of skin sensitivities to avoid hives.

   I’ve updated this review because when I wrote it initially I had only been using it a week. Now I’ve used it for months and I’ve had some success experimenting with it, and found a few different uses for it. I still do not like it much for my regular eyeliner but it does have a couple of things going for it. It washes off extremely easily (no makeup remover required,) is very comfortable on the eyes (not waxy, or crumbly, or “tight”) and causes me no irritation. Most eye products do cause my eyes to water and turn a little red on first application, but I’ve had no trouble with this.

   Because of all these positives, I use it whenever I walk the dog (yes, I realize how vain that sounds!) or whenever I only need to nip out for a minute but am planning to wash my face when I get back. I would also recommend it to beginners who are trying to master wing shapes and want easy corrections!

   I’ve also found a solution to how thin this product is. I originally wrote that I needed two coats to get a truly black line. Well, if you de-pot it and put it into one of those craft containers (for beads or whatever) it will dry out a little because they aren’t air tight. When it gets too dry, just add a little more from the main container and it softens up again. Alternatively, you could just take the screw top off and leave it out to dehydrate until you’re happy with the consistency. The product says it is a gel-type liner but I don’t agree because gel implies that it has a thicker viscosity. This is more like a liquid liner straight out of the box.

   You might be amazed at this point how far I’ve gone to use this product. The fact is, I don’t like to waste things and it came in a huge container. That is another plus, if you’re looking to be economical. So even though I will never make it my everyday liner (because it really is too water soluble and will make you look like a bad actress after only a light drizzle, or even too humid weather (never splash your face while wearing this or spritz it with anything containing water!)) it does have some use.

   I have these in five colours (pictured in this order: Screaming Purple, Twilight, Ice Fairy, Mayan Gold, That Black) and I’m extremely happy with them. These are the only eyeliners that don’t print onto my eyelids whereas all other eyeliners (both natural and conventional, even MAC’s Fluidline) do within an hour or two. I even wore these to the gym and they stayed put. I prefer the gel pot to the tube because I have better control using my brush of choice and the liner in the gel pots thicken over time, which is a good thing because, when you get them, they’re a bit too watery. The liner in the tube, on the other hand, stays the same consistency as when you first open it.

   My only complaint, though, would be of the site. There are no colour descriptions of pretty much any of their products and the pictures of the eye shadows being modelled are pretty horrible. Blurry and messy application, which puts me off from trying any of their shadows.
