LOVE it! Easy to use, pigment is perfect, lasts all day!
Color: Black Brown, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I am a victim of early childhood bullying by my brother, who used me for the butt of all his jokes. My eyebrows for one. Always saying they were so think, I looked like the character from the guy from the Muppets Bert or Ernie. Always pointing them out and ridiculing me in front of everyone. I was little and it got worse as I got older, so when I was in grade school, I got tired of it and got ahold of my older sister's Nair hair removal and took them off. Imagine being in fifth grade fat, ugly and no brows, the taunting got even worse, so I had to learn from a young age to draw them in, I went through hell!
Throughout the years, I learned how to draw them in and always used Jordana pencils as they were cheap and perfect. Since they no longer make them anyone, I went on the hunt for a better pencil, and after spending tons of money on eyebrow pencils and seeing how worthless they were, I tried these and OMG, FINALLY, someone got it right. These pencils are perfect, it's a self sharpening mechanical pencil so you don't loose half the pencil when trying to sharpen, It applies perfectly, the coverage is perfect, stays on forever, and removes with ease. One other thing that makes this pencil even more dynamic is the eraser at the end of the pencil, it allows you to shape your brows perfectly!

This eyeliner is very precise and easy to apply, allowing you to create clean, sharp lines without much effort. The waterproof formula holds up well throughout the day without smudging or fading easily. It works well for both subtle everyday looks and more dramatic winged eyeliner styles. The built-in sharpener also helps maintain precision over time. Overall, it’s a dependable eyeliner for long-lasting eye definition.

Revlon colorstay pencil
Color: Sapphire, Size: 0.01 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This liner goes on well and has staying power. I like the color and am happy with this purchase, however… it needs to be sharpened just about every use. I probably won’t order again.
