Eyeliner -Revlon - Softstroke Powderliner-All

I have this in Brown Suede and Soft Moss. As others have commented, it's a shame that Revlon discontinues their best products! First a brow liner I adored, now this. I've had the same pencils for so long I didn't realize it had been discontinued - now I can only find the Brown Suede on Amazon, and the seller wants $ 14.95 USD...not going to happen on my budget! The texture is creamy. Some reviewers have complained that the tip won't stay hard/pointy, which is true, and that sometimes the pencil tip crumbles - also true. I don't care about the tip staying pointy - after all, it's called Softstroke for a reason. It lays a thicker line down, which I love. It is not for very thin precise lines. The only reason it gets a 4 and not a 5 is because of the waste due to the crumbling, and because you do have to sharpen it more often in order for the tip to not be too "fat" and lay down *too* thick of a line. So the waste is definitely a downside. However, for the price it was/is amazing, and still a good deal Better than high-end liners I've used. (I'm looking at you, Chanel!) The Brown Suede is a great brown - not too dark, not too light, and not so matte as to be boring. The Soft Moss is a dark green that goes great with my brown eyes. For those who, like me, love this discontinued liner - you can find the Soft Moss on Amazon and eBay for about $ 6. However, the Brown Suede seems to have disappeared except for the Amazon seller who wants $ 15 since they know it's htf. I'm not ready to pull the trigger at that price, but if your budget is bigger than mine, by all means help yourself :)
