    I love this! It's kind of thick for a gel eyeliner but it's super super black and lasts for a long time.

    This product was one I tried before my "Essence Breakup" period. I loved it at first, but I slowly found it was too thick and got all over my eyes way to easy. A gentle tap to my eye would smudge it. Also I found that it got clumpy fast, and was also impossible to remove from the eyeliner brush. Definitely not my favorite eyeliner. I will be sticking to the gel eye pencil as i have much better results with that.

    I used to brag about this all the time. It's a good starter when trying out gel eyeliners, but it does dry out quickly. You can easily use a bit of eye makeup remover to soften the top of it and make it more gel like, but for any makeup product, you shouldn't be needing to find ways to make a product useable again.
    I have since switched to Inglot's gel eyeliner. I would, however, recommend this for first time users, and to people who don't normally wear eyeliner all the time and just need it for a night out. Great price!

    Not bad- I had the sparkly brown shade which wasn't extremely easy to work with. It did dry up within the year so I wasn't able to get a ton of use out of it. great quality for the price though!

    So creamy and black! Glides on like a dream and sets well. And the price? Cheapest around!

    This is a gorgeous product. It goes on so smooth and so black. It is also absolutely budge free! Forgot to take it off for swim practice, but I was pleasantly surprise afterwards that it still looked as fees as when I first applied it.

    Works very well for the price. Make sure to close it tightly to prevent it from drying out!

    Okay for the price, you absolutely can't beat it. If I changed the package and did a blind test, I bet most people would choose this one over MAC, E.L.F., maybelline or any other gel eyeliner version.
    Too bad it's now limited to the black version at SDM- but that's the only draw back.
    As far as application, an angled or flat eyeliner brush is best...and make sure to swipe off the extra so you're not just blobbing it on there. I can use this to tight line and it will last for a few days after I've used it, even after proper skin cleansing. (I.E. perfect for those morning afters... ;) I don't use a black, gel eyeliner everyday because it can look a bit heavy but I have super sensitive eyes and wear contact lenses, and this hasn't been a problem with budging or tearing me up or anything..
    I've been storing this upside down as many recommend for products like this and I haven't had any problems with it drying out even after using it for a few months.
    Overall- go try it...the worst case scenario is you don't like it and you can return it to SDM for your ~$5.

    This is by far my fave budget gel eyeliner.
    It is really creamy and applies well with an angled brush (I recommend a better brush than the Essence ones sold alongside it which are too soft for it). Once dry, nothing is moving that eyeliner. I have slept in it and woke up with no smudges.
    I would like to see it in more colours
