OMG
its divine
haev the black mauve ones her e- not at all mauvey imo but not as hard as black

it was £14
the brush was £20 so I said "no fanx" andbought it off ebay for £9.
the liner itslef is soft and the brush gives oyu a nice wide soft line that fills in easily.
You cna layer on MORE for a hard line. It then sets hard - had some on my hand from the tester and it lasted two hadn washes...!

chocolate shimmer.

So dark its like a soft black, it has the tinniest shimmer, which just softens the colour, not at all sparkley

I bought the brush at the same time and it is good.

I have this but have neve actually used it. I will make a point of trying it this weekend.

I love their Intensive skin supplement, it makes my make up sit so much better on my face.

But how do you get the stuff off afterwards if it lasts through 2 x handwashes?

it's the only eyeliner i can get to stay lining my eyes instead of my cheeks by the end of the day.

love this stuff
I have indigo, black and chocolate shimmer

but I have found they do dry out before they run out which is annoying

liz earle cleanser gets it off which I am too poor for atm but simple cleanser works as well

I am also after some bobbi brown perfume

waiting for dd's discount of a farkin 25% of JLewis !!! woo hoo!

Is this a good eyeliner if you usually only use a pencil? Much as I'd love to try flicks a la Sophie Ellis Bextor etc, I always chicken out.

I'm veeery tempted but can only justify if I use it!

I've got a couple of these but find it a bit claggy and clumpy to apply.What am I doing wrong?
Got a cheapo (but recommended in some ridiculous style 'bible') Rimmel one yesterday, and it was tonnes easier.

I have a Benefit curved brush. I spent so many £££££ at the bloody BB counter that when she gathered up about 10 brushes and said 'You need this and this and this and this' I freaked and ripped them from her hand, scattering them like hairpins across the shopfloor of Browns of Chester screaming
'Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!'

Bugger. I went to see 'Up' with my kids and then to Maccy D's. Really!! Wept like a baby. (At 'Up', not Macdonalds.)

I love it too. And for those wondering how to get it off - Simple eye make-up remover is fab.
