A Holy Grail product.
I own many Smudge Pots:
-the trio of minis in Gray, Black and Bronze
-Cobalt (a darker blue, not quite navy, with a sheen)
-Cobalt Clutch (a vibrant primary blue with shimmer)
-Jade (a lovely olivey green with a sheen)
I use my Ecotools angled eyeliner brush with these, and they work great.
PROS: Great creamy texture (not too firm or not soft). Very highly pigmented (although Cobalt Clutch and Purple Pumps are less so). Lasts all day without flaking or smudging, even on my lower lash line AND on my waterline! Can be used to make precise lines or can be smudged out when still "wet." Sturdy packaging. Gorgeous colors.
CONS: A bit expensive. More product than you can use before it dries up. (Although none of mine have dried out at all, and I've had the minis for almost a year! Even if I use up only half of the product, it'll have been worth the $20 for this product--you get more product and applications than you would for some $20 eye pencil, and I have yet to find a pencil or any other liner product that I love as much as these, besides MAC Fluidlines!)
Overall, these are HG products for me. I absolutely love the pigmentation, the texture, the lasting power, and the colors. I hope they don't discontinue any of these great colors, and they they do keep adding to the line!
