This forms of eye shadows are very convinient, easy to use and usually the formula is long lasting

Product experience 

The product comes in a pen style, you get 0.10 g of product for $3.99. To use just swipe this across your kids and blend with either a blending brush or fingers.

I bought the colors black, brown and almond. It comes in two finishes shimmery and matte and has 8 different colors. I bought the one that has a matte finish because those are hard to come by.

Pros:
Easy to use, very intuitive because of the pencil style packaging

Comes in two finishes matte and shimmery.
Comes with basic shades like black, brown, white and skin tone and fun shades like purple, green and pink.

Inexpensive
Available at Walgreens

Cons:
Limited color selection

Dries very quickly 

Hit and miss with the consistency of the product, I found that the brown very dry and hard to blend and the black very creamy that I had to set it with a powder to keep from creasing.





I had such high hopes for this product,  I love my Urban Decay 24/7 jumbo pencils. In the end this brand just can't compete. The almond shade is the only one that I like because of the texture, blend ability and staying power. It is just a hit and miss in its performance.

the product in the pot

Product Experience:
I bought the  color 175 Dark Slate you get 2.3 g or 0.081 oz. of product for $9.95. It also comes with a thin round shaped eyeliner brush which is not too bad.
To use the product I prefer to use my Real techniques fine liner brush or if I even want a thinner line I will use the bare escentuals fine liner brush. I don't have a lot of lid space so I try to get the thinnest line as much as possible. I also have oily eyelids which I find
When I bought this gel liner, I thought I was getting a grey colored eyeliner. But I was wrong the color is more a dark taupey brown color. The texture is very nice and smooth and the product just glides on your lids. This color isn't very harsh looking like a very warm brown with a lot of red in it nor it is as stark as a regular black liner.

the brush

Pros:

• Has a very creamy consistency, I've had this for a while now and still applies smoothly.

• Inexpensive
• Has a nice demi-matte finish
• Dries and sets

swatch Dark slate

Cons:

• There are limited shades available
• Does not stay on my lids very long, I this disappeared after 3 hrs of wear time.
• Needs to be set with an eye shadow

This cream eyeliners just did not work for me, I would have to set the liner with a matching eye shadow so it stays put and does not disappear on my lids.
