General opinion: Amazing price for a good amount of product!

Pros: 1) Price is great for a higher end type product. 2) The amount you get will last you a LONG time -- it will take me about 2 years to finish mine! 3) It lasts on my eyes a long time. 4) Gives a dark black color, which I need. 4) Doesn't smudge for me. 5) It is EXTREMELY creamy and it won't dry out if you take care of it well. I've had E.L.F. gel eyeliners that dried up quickly...
- I went out and bought the E.L.F. Angled Eyeliner brush and it works perfect for me.

I've been experimenting with gel/cream eyeliners recently, since stick/pencil/liquid does NOT work for me in any way, shape, or form.

This finally arrived this morning, just in time for me to put makeup on. I was thrilled to get this. I stuck my brush in and was very surprised at how creamy this eyeliner is. The littlest bit goes a long way.

I tightlined with it, and it was incredibly easy. I use the Sephora Pro-Gel Eyeliner brush #26, but I also used the E.L.F. angled eyeliner brush to smudge a bit and apply a tiny thin line above my lashes.

I also blinked while it was wet, and lucky for me, it lined my waterline perfectly. It looks nice, not caked on or too thick. With a bit of touch-up and smudging, it looks natural and not raccoon-like. I also lined above my lashes and smudged it while it was still wet.

Once it dries, I don't think it goes anywhere. I've been wearing it all day now, and I don't notice migration. When I went to smudge a spot that was dry, only a little bit flaked off where it was put on too thick. The rest didn't go anywhere.

In any case, I cannot bring myself to pay upwards of $20 for something that I know I won't use all of before it dries up. I'll save the money and spend it on other stuff instead, and just buy this.

I bought it in "Cafe" and it is a matte dark brown, but it is lighter in color than the Femme Couture that I've been using. That is a plus. I think I may splurge on the shimmery one the next time I make an order, but I'm not sure.

I would definitely recommend this.

Yes it's nice and creamy, but the staying power is definitely NOT as good as Bobbi Brown gels. Used it twice, had raccoon eyes by the end of the day, even with a primer (TF Shadow Insurance). Not as bad as Maybelline gel (bought due to good reviews here, and was really disappointed), as the color is nice and rich, but doesn't stay in place, which is my whole reason for going to the trouble of using gel eyeliner in the first place.

I actually like this liner I am always looking for good liners that last all day and I found that this one does! It's pretty cheap and you get more product than you would if you were buying MAC fluidline oh and this does not dry out at all and it's creamy smooth and you can layer it to get the opaqueness you want. I like it and will repurchase!

The pigmentation, longevity, creaminess, and wear are all on-par with MAC Fluidline, but you get 50% more for $3 cheaper if you pick Sephora's instead. Love it.

I am really impressed with this! (Actually, impressed with Sephora's whole line). I find this so easy to apply, very creamy and smooth! And, it has not dried out one bit. The only reason I gave 4/5 is because it does kind of wear off and fade after a full day. I don't have oily lids or have any problem with makeup coming off. I found that using a bit of translucent powder to set this helps A LOT, so anyone who has a problem with this should try it.

This is my HG eyeliner ! I received it as a gift from one of my friends in may and I've used it almost everyday and I still have so much product ! I have it in the color must have which is just the black one . It is so creamy an pigmented . It goes on smoothly and once dried it's not going anywhere ! I have the waterproof version and it really is water proof . I shower and the liner is still on ! But it comes off easily with makeup remover . The only thing i dont like is of the line is applied too thick it will transfer ( but maybe its because i have oily eyelids , im not sure). Other than that I would reccomend this eyeliner !!

This product is VERY similar ( both creamy, easy to apply, and both of it smudge) to Bobbi brown gel liner! You could get this with half of the price of bb liner, which will you choose? Price are cheap, quite easy to apply, it's not bad but its not thebest gel liner. But it smudge as I applied it on my waterline. But for me smudging is not a big problem as I always carry a pack of small packet of makeup remover wet tissue with me. I'd prefer this product than bobbibrown, but among all the gel liner I've tried, shu uemura works the best!

I am an eyeliner addict. I just don't feel complete without dark eyeliner on my upper lid. So I've tried a bunch of gels (mac, bobbi brown, clinique,still) but I think I like this one the best. It's as creamy as cliniques and as dark as bobbi browns (can't remember the name of the darkest one). I've had it for month and have barely made a dent. best of all it hasn't dried up at all. It's still as creamy as the first day I opened it. The only thing you have to consider is that since it is so creamy you can;t really apply it near tear ducts because it ends up smearing a bit. At about $10 this is a real steal.

So cheap and so awesome :D

I've been on a hunt for a cream liner, and couldn't fathom paying 20 or more for cream liners that would dry up after a couples months or whose staying power was the same as this stuff!

The formula is super creamy and black (must have color), and effortlessly glides onto the eyelid! It makes for a beautiful cat eye :) Not to mention great staying power, however it does slip and slide on the bottom waterline...then again everything i've ever tried moves there XD


Buy it! :)

These are great and they're only $10! They are very creamy, so easy to put on and I can draw a great cat eye with it. They dry quickly and stay on all day. I have the rags to riches, which is a light gold -- I only put it underneath my eye since I like more drama on top. Bewitch me is a good purple, but I'm still looking for a deeper purple. Cobalt is very vibrant. I highly recommend these.

I bought this little paint pot while browsing Sephora. I was at a little sale section and I saw the Water Park (turquoise) and Rags to Riches (gold one) It is matellica. I bought the water park, but not the gold one. (I REGRET! I SHOULD HAVE GRAB THE GOLD ONE TOO!) It was on sale for $3 only! I use it as a base under my eyeshadows and it seriously makes the color pop! I've gotten compliments from friends and co-workers. I think there are a lot more colors, and the original price is $10 each. The stay power is awesome. It stays all day for me and with my oily lids, it did not even crease. Waterproof? I believe it. lol...I should re-purchase and try other colors as well...but me being a cheapo, I'm just waiting for sales!

Try it if you've got $10 to spare!

I picked up this after returning the Bare Essentials Buxom Liner, which transferred to the top of my crease somehow. I got this Sephora cream liner and it started out great with my brush, it was creamy, pigmented, went on smooth, but by the time I got out of class, it had faded tremendously and this is what i cant take in a liner. I will go back to MAC Fluidline

I have this eyeliner in the shade "Must Have" which is a matte, jet black. I love its smooth consistency and it is a dream to apply using an angle liner brush. However, I have found that it is not as waterproof and long lasting as it claims. It smudges any time I am teary eyed or get caught in the rain. My other complaint is that the pot seems to dry out rather quickly, even though I have barely had it for two months. It is comparable to the Maybelline gel liner, but the MAC Blacktrack Fluidline still blows both of these out of the water.

I have oily asian eyelids that fold over into my lashline/ eyeliner, so I have troubles with gel in the first place. This was no different from all the others that transfers and smudged. Not a HG for those difficult asian eyes!!!!! :(

I actually really like this eyeliner. It's good quality. I have had mine for a while and it has not dried up yet. It doesn't smudge at all and stays on all day. The price is really good considering it's not that much more expensive than a drugstore product. The only thing with this is that it dries quickly which is great but if you even make a mistake you would have to literally remove it with a makeup remover. This isn't good for smudging.

I definitely would buy this again because it's perfect for covering gaps between false lashes and your eyelid.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! I have it in the black shade, and I use it every day. It is so easy to apply, it is a great, dark, color, and it stays on all day without smudging or smearing, which is what I usually look for in a liner. It's so creamy and great! Words can't even describe how much I love this stuff! I would definitely recommend this!

I recieved this product as part of the Sephora makup collection 2010 case (blockbuster). I am not sure if these have the exact same ingredients, but I do not like the product at all. It faded so bad, and gave me racoon eyes. I typically don't have this problem with my HG gel eyeliner, but am running low and decided to try this Sephora gel eyeliner to buy time until I can make it to the mall. Price does not apply to my review, not does packaging quality because mine came in the makup collection kit/blockbuster.

I have this cream pot in "statue bronze" which is a gorgeous brown/bronze color with gold shimmer in it. I love wearing this on my upper and bottom lash line and I love smudging it. Also, I like to use this product as a base for smoky eyes as well. Product is so creamy and gorgeous.

I've been using a kohl eyeliner ever since I started using makeup and want to change things up a bit! I love how this stays on all day and doesn't smudge like my eyeliner pencil. What difference! It goes on very smooth. I use mostly now for when I'm going swimming.
