I wasnt exactly blessed with full, lush beautiful brows, so all my life i've been compensating with various kinds of brow powders, pencils, wax, mascara. I havent been exactly blown away from any products i've tried, but this product is ok.
I usually buy this in 'soft brown' and it feel its most natural looking on me. It doesnt start clumping on me like other powders i've tried in the past, or even the pencils from MAC. This liner from Clinique would definitely be some HG stuff if they just gave more product. I use this daily and it lasts about 1.5 to 2 months for me. Kinda short, but the colors right and it lasts all day long. So i'll keep using this since i havent found anything better. Of which in my case, somthing is ALOT better than nothing.
The search is still on for the perfect brow definer.

I've been using this product for about 6 months now, and i'd have to say this stuff is AMAZING.
I have very oily lids, and since i'm asian i'm very prone to smudging, flaking.. all that fun stuff. but this product definitely keeps all that to a minimum. It does NOT come off until I take it off at night. Of course you DO need somthing oil based to remove, but its not a big prob for me since i use the oil cleansing method.
Rather than constantly buying waterproof mascara, this stuff makes any mascara instantly waterproof. I usually just apply a thin coat over top and its all good all day.
I hope i've helped anyone out there who's really been frustrated with smudges and stuff like that. Its definitely worth a try.

I bought this due to reviews on another makeup site, and omg its great! it come in a big tube, which i squeeze into an empty lip balm jar (cause noone wants to carry around "nipple salve") anyway, i'm one of those people who has lip balm everywhere i think i might use it for example; car, purse, work, beside the sofa... etc. but for some reason my lips were always dry mostly b/c i didnt apply often enough i think
Enter lansinoh lanolin. I know the bottle says for breast feeding mothers, but it also says it can be used for dry lips. i just used it for one night, and my lips were back to soffft. no icky flaky parts, just soft lips. This stuff lasts a while too. as for comparison, Smiths Rosebud would last around 15-30mins on me where this stuff lasts around 2 hours which is pretty darn good. considering your eating, or drinking things.
Dont be scared away by the nipple cream on the bottle, this stuff is a god send for your lips, or dry nipples. whatever.

Smiths Rosebud Salve
I'm about 2/3 way through my pot, and i'm not all that excited about it. not too sure what the hype is about. but i do agree it is better than average. but i wont be repurchasing.

I tried this when it first came out, before liquid last, i was using MAC's fluid line, which didnt stay for very long on me. when i bought my first bottle, of liquid last, it came in a slim tube, with its own hair applicator.
Application:
the first time using it wasnt a very good one, if you make any mistakes and dont wipe away right when it happens, your either stuck with it, or your have to remove with an oil make up remover.
After a couple of uses however, i found it got gunky and gooey, which made it even harder to make that perfect, thin, smooth line. so i pulled out my old fluid line, and traced a thin line with that, and used the liquid last to go over it. (oh geez, i shoulda figured this out sooner)
I have also found that this will last longer if you apply the product smooth, so no clumps in some spots or watever. I find those clumpy areas will flake.
Wear:
This stuff doesnt budge! i can spend 8h + in this eyeliner, which is great for my oily lids. i've also worked out in it, and it stays, i do the crazy cardio class workouts and it doesnt even budge.
Removing:
I know some people who have a hard time to remove this stuff, bu personally, i've never had an issue with this. it might have something to do with the oils on my face breaking it down before hand? anyway, i've also removed this stuff when i've just worn it for a couple hours, and yea, it WILL be hard to remove if you don't use something oil based.
Conclusion
Although this product does have its advantages, it also has its share of disadvantages, i'll keep using this product until i find another product that has the same staying power, but a more user friendly application.
