Don't see much to shout about here. Just a black eyeliner (well, Black/Brown is the shade I have). Actually I find it difficult to apply cleanly and a bit melty and smudgy. Not overly impressed.

I've been through quite a few tubes of this stuff, and I'll probably keep buying it as long as Clinique makes it. I love that it twists up, because I hate sharpening. It's also VERY easy to apply, coming from someone who is hopeless with eyeliner application (hence the username). Even in horrible southeast humidity in the summertime, this stuff doesn't budge (although it is quite easy to wash off at night). And as with most of Clinique's eye products, it doesn't irritate my contacts. Pretty fantastic stuff.
I've got to agree with most everyone else here - I have always purchased cheap liners thinking they were all the same, but I really had a hard time with "bleeding" by the end of the day. This liner is fabulous! Goes on nicely, stays on all day! Easy to blend too. Rave! UPDATE: For some reason I'm having bad luck with Clinique lately... all of these products that were working so well are not working as well anymore. Eyeliner seems to smear on me now.

Yeah, I've been through nine of these. I've used New Black, Really Black (in my dark phase), and currently Black-Brown. For reference, I have quite oily eyelids and am NW20, with medium brown hair and very large dark brown eyes. New black turned gray on me throughout the day and was unflattering. Really Black stayed as dark as I applied it, but it started to bleed into the tiny little sleep-deprived lines under my eyes -- I'm sixteen, so that was not very attractive. The color was a tiny bit harsh for my coloring. Black-Brown is perfect. It's like warm-toned matte black that doesn't fade, stays put on me, and is wearable anywhere. I have quite bad eye allergies and was told to buy Clinique liners by my opthamologist. The price is right for these, they're perfect, and I can get them discounted when Carson's does goodwill sales. If you're into pencil liners, think about trying these.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! I have always bought the cheapest eyeliner from the drug store and thought whats the big deal. A few months ago I bought this liner in Shy Brown. I have very oily eyelids so liner just disappears or it settles in me crease and looks horrible. Well not this one. Its stays put for house and looks awesome. No need to pull the eyelids so we are not "creating" wrinkles. I also love the fact that I can either wear it in a line or smudge it a bit and create a smoky look.
Definately wort buying. It lasts a long time too so its worth the money.
i've always used just like cheap eyeliners from walmart, target, etc. because i didn't want to spend too much money and i thought they would work just as good as anything else. i was wrongg. i just bought this product a couple days ago and i loove it! usually my eyeliner like wears off after like not even 2 hours but this stayed on perfectly all day long. i was so impressed. i got it in very black and its awesomee.
I have this product in slate, and I like it like this product. However, for the price though, it isn't worth it, esp since my rimmel kajal pencil produces the same effect if I warm the tip up a bit with my fingers. Very smooth formulation and doesn't tug. Lasts for hours, although it does smudge/smear/travel somewhat (only a little). I hate the smudger part bc I find it pointless; I don't use it and sometimes I cap the pencil end with the smudger cap and then my pencil is smooshed. Ugh.
In general, these are great liners because the formula is soft but humidity-resistant and there are so many basic and flattering colors to choose from. The price is reasonable- for those that use drugstore brand eyeliners, spend the extra few dollars on this, you will not be disappointed. I always have one in my purse (no need to sharpen!). I took off one lippie because the smudger on the end is a waste to me- too hard to smudge and irritating to your lid if you're determined to get a smudgy line. Use fingers or brush instead. I wish it had more product instead of the smudger.
I have been using this for years, mainly "New Black" and I love it. The sponge on the end is great for smudging. I love that it doesn't need to be sharpened, the colors are great and it lasts for a long time. It is not that longlasting, which is this products biggest negative. I will keep buying as it is better and more convenient then any other eyeliner I've used.
