Review of L'Oreal Extra-Intense Liquid Pencil Eyeliner by lovelixir

I normally don't use pencil liners because they never last on my oily lids, but I gave this one a try because of the "liquid" in its name. I got this in Brown and wanted to use it for days when I don't want to look like I have eyeliner on, but still want to look awake and not washed out. The first time I tried this, I only went out for about 3-4 hours, so the liner lasted and there was no smudging. The next day, I had a longer day (6+ hours) and I noticed a bit of smudging. Both tries were without eyelid primer, though. I imagine that it would last a bit longer with primer.

So the lasting power is decent enough and better than other pencils I have tried, but I would not buy this again because the pencil is way too soft. The first time I opened mine, the tip broke off. I had to put it in the freezer for ~10 minutes for the pencil to harden and to sharpen it. It's also messier than other pencils because it's so soft, so it's a bit of a pain to use when I'm in a rush.
