I bought two colours in the u.k. for £4.99 each - the vert expressiv (green) and prune moderne (plum). It states up to "16hrs comfort and hold" on the pencil. It also states "intense colour in one stroke". I have a lot of problems getting this pencil to even make a mark on my eyes. I even resharpened despite it still being pretty sharp and my eyes are red right now from the reapplication over and over to get enough intensity of colour. I wear my eye make up pretty natural so that's saying something if I had to keep going over it to get it as strong as I wanted. The pencils are not old and were bought from a "proper" shop so it's not because of that. I find the texture of the pencils pretty dry too - perhaps explains why it's tricky getting the colour on. Plus once on - the colour doesn't last any longer than a standard Khol pencil. I was attracted to this item because I have an oily eye area but they don't last any better than something which doesn't claim to stay on for 16hrs... All in all, will not be getting any others and wish I hadn't bought these. Am tempted to just bin them. Wish I'd only bought one at least but was sucked in by the claims on the pencil. :) oh well, live and learn.

This is a nice dark green liner which is soft and easy to apply, with decent staying power. I'd been looking for a very dark green liner, almost black, and this is perfect for what I needed. All in all, a decent liner at a decent price.

This is a soft and smudgeable liner pencil which I like. The shade is dark green, almost a dark neutral. It is one of the few greens that looks good on my gray-green eyes. A nice alternative look to browns, bronzes and plums. I would buy this again.

this is a soft, blendable kohl eyeliner. vert inspire 05 is a dark green color. it lasts throughout the day, but fades a bit on my bottom lids. the only reason i would not buy it again is that it is not a completely unique color, and i can probably find it at a lower price. overall, however, this is a very good, if rather basic, eyeliner.
