I now am the proud owner of three additional Sephora slim eye pencils, bringing my grand total to... five. I have Bronze 204, Purple 65, Blue 75, Teal Blue 221, and Olive Green 203.



The liner can be a little rough on the eyelids (especially when one is used to the gentle Clinique QuickLiners! <3) but with the color selection and the price ($4!! BUY THEM ALL!), you really can't beat these. Try them, what do you have to lose?



They last ~5 hours on my normal eyelids (not dry but not an oil slick) and longer with UDPP (can't rave about this enough, I wish I could buy a mayo jar full of it).

I love how the liner smudges... it's great for the smokey eyes look because you can layer different colors well. But because it smudges easily, it doesn't last very long so I wouldn't wear this to work, where you can forget to re-apply.

I was excited about the price but I found it didn't go on smoothly and had a bit of a pull. Even with a little force to counter act the pull I would expect to colour to go on evenly, but alas it was unevenly distributed. I guess it ain't too bad for the price eh?

I have this in Orchid Purple #213. While the shade of this pencil is nice, it isn't pigmented at all, and so makes for a horrible eyeliner. It is waxy and drags along my eyelid when I apply it, leaving behind a spotty, pale, faded line. Freshly applied, it looks the way I would expect a cheap eyeliner to look hours after it had been applied. I would never re-purchase this; the product I have is unuseable. Perhaps the other colors are better.

The first thing that attracted me to this product was the price. I was tired of spending over $10 on eyeliner from Clinique that felt "waxy". I'm a big fan of smokey/smudged eyes, and this is perfect for that effect. It also goes on much darker than others that I have tried, which is a big plus for me due to my very blonde lashline. This covers up where the mascara can't get to nicely. For $4, you can't beat it!

this is not worth even the 4 dollars it is. it looks nice for about 5 minutes and then it smudges, runs, and causes raccoon eyes. i dont have sensitive eyes at all. this reminds of the 79 cent eyeliners in drugstores.

I am not all that impressed with this liner. The liner goes on softly, but it smudges very easily (after 1 or 2 hours).

These are great little liners. They sharpen well, apply easily, and don't smudge. And you can't beat $4. I love the color selection.

Bought several colours (can't stop at $4US a pop!), but found 065 (a plum shade) to be the best so far. Makes my blue/green eyes pop! Also sharpens very nicely. Also have 221 (a marine blue), which is beautiful as well. Always get compliments on both shades. However, I'm not too pleased with 204 (a khaki/gold colour), as it is a bit too subtle and I was hoping for something bolder. I am still searching for the perfect olive coloured shadow and/or liner that just pops. Overall though you really can't go wrong for the price!

I have this in black, and am quite pleased with it, with a few caveats. It is far more convenient than using a powder shadow to line, since you just need the pencil. It smudges nicely, which a powder liner doesn't do easily. The (slight) downside is since it smudges easily, it's hard to get a thin precise line. It's also slightly tricky to make the liner last all day. To make it last, I've found it's best to apply over moisturizer (so that my skin has enough slip that I can get a more precise line). Then I set the liner by dusting translucent loose powder over it. Voila, no smudging that I didn't want, and I still have eyeliner at the end of the day. It's a definite rebuy because comparable pencil liners don't give me as good results. Either they're too hard, and end up being painful to apply, or they're too soft and smudgy and I can't get the liner to set at all. This is as close to perfect as a pencil liner can be.

Note: This product is on the pricey side, because it's 1/2 to 1/3 the length of similarly priced drugstore liners. It still comes out to less than using eyeshadow as a liner tho, since I don't need a liner brush and a shadow. And it's a lot easier to manage for travel.

Rubbish. A waste of time and money. Got #217 a dark navy blue which didn't go on dark navy blue and applied on clumpy. Just $4 but i still feel cheated.

I have purchased this eyeliner time and time again. For the simple fact that it has GREAT staying power and is SO inexpensive at only $4.00! Is just as good if not better than all the much more expensive ones I have used. I use it every day and never tire of it. It is a staple for me. Can't be without it. I use shade #210 dark copper brown. A medium to dark brown with a slight shimmer/glitter in it. Just perfect! If they ever discontinue it, I'll just cease to exist. How's that for drama ;)

I purchased about 5 of these because they were so inexpensive and the color selection was great. Now I can see WHY they are so cheap - the quality is terrible! They just drag and do not glide on like Khol eye pencils do. I will not be repurchasing any more of these. I am giving this 2 lippies only because of the great color selection.

I have this in 224 (Pewter Gray) and I love it. I used to use MAC eyeshadow in Print and apply it with a fine slant-tip brush, but that was too time-consuming. So I got this eyeliner, and it's great -- it glides on very evenly and makes my green eyes stand out. I've owned my stick about a year, and am not close to running out...but for $4 I'll definitely buy it again! The packaging is pretty good for an eyeliner -- a simple plastic cap that slides on over the end of the pencil. Two thumbs up.

These are cute...I have them in black and dark purple...not every good (like most of sephora's own line) but they are sufficient when using the lighter trick to make it darker and easier to apply...and they are tiny, so the are convienent for traveling...however, wet-n-wild eyeliners are about $3 less and they are just as good with the lighter trick and are like triple the size..

I have this in 216, a violet color. It's very creamy, but did not crease on my oily lids. As most crease within seconds, I will definitely repurchase these.

I have Electric Blue 219 and i use it on my lower lids for an extra kick with my blue eyes. I like the color very much, sephora has colors you can't find easily. I would recommend. They ARE small but for fun colors you aren't going to wear everyday, they are fine plus the cost is low.

Was recommended by the Sephora SA to use a pencil liner, rather than powder e/s to line my eyes. For $4, these little pencils are a gem and fit into the smallest purse or make-up bag.

The liner itself stays put and is easy to smudge with a liner brush. Sephora has the greatest color range for eye pencils. My fave color is #208, a medium golden brown which I use daily for the office.

My only gripe is that these pencils are half the size of a regular eye pencil (think the size of Maybelline's eyeliner, half that size). However, the color range and quality makes up for the small size. I reckon with daily use, these pencils need to be replaced about 6-8 weeks.

Excellent quality, price and color range. A definite re-purchase.
