This is amazingly good for eyeliner. For YEARS I've tried to find a stick that actually goes on easily without pulling, skipping, etc. I"ve never found one and have bought many. I saw this and had a coupon so I tried it. Yes, you need a few times to get the hang of it but it's great! Use lightly, go over more, wipe your brush, cap tightly and this should last forever. I know I"ve had the black at least 2 - 3 months and it's barely used. You can do everything, cat eyes, tightlining, etc. with this! Wipe, rinse and dry the brush each time but that's about it.
Also have it in brown and the brown looks weird in the jar but actually is a very neutral, sable kind of color. You won't regret this purchase but you need a steady hand! March 25, 2008, 8:19 am

I find these liners comparable to MAC Fluidlines. They are soft, creamy, and easy to apply. They stay all day on me, but come off easily with eye makeup remover. I really love the colors too, there is black and brown, but there is also a beautiful midnight blue and eggplant purple. I would not recommend the teal color however, because it tends to be dry and hard to use. Also, I wouldn't use the brush it comes with, it is too thick for eyeliner. Though it is only a few dollars cheaper than the MAC ones, you can find these for buy one get one, plus they come with a lot more product in them. To me, these are a great alternative for those who do not want to buy Fluidlines. April 24, 2008, 4:36 pm

I have the blue, teal and purple liners. The blue is by far my favorite: it is a very wearable shade of sapphire that really brightens my brown eyes. The blue is subtle enough to wear during the day(especially when layered with a black liner--if you're really into intensity). The teal is very bright and should probably be used sparingly, mixed with black, or for color accents. The brush that comes with the product is really bad. Instead, use a flat liner brush or a small, round bushy brush if you want a more smudged look. January 2, 2008, 1:44 pm

I'm a fan of gel and cream liners, so when I saw these hit the drugstores last summer I quickly snapped them up. The colors were gorgeous, have great pigmentation and the wear was on par with other liners of this type that I'd tried (that is to say, pretty good. Could last all day with minimal-to-no smudging), but I found the application and texture of these to be inferior to MAC's fluidlines which I'm more accustomed to. The product was sort of dry and clay-like in the pot and it was a little hard to pick up much product with one of the eyeliner brushes I already owned. The eyeliner brush it comes with picked up product well, but I found this brush to be too stiff and scratchy to feel comfortable using it on the eye area. Also, when I tried applying it to the waterline of the eye (which I know is frowned upon by some, but I do it with all of my MAC liners), it felt a lot grainier and felt more uncomfortable than any other eyeliner I've tried. Also, since this is a drier product it didn't glide on as quickly for me as some of my other cream liners and thus took longer to do my eyes than it usually does.
So overall, I wasn't incredibly impressed. I wanted to love them because the colors (especially the teal!) were gorgeous, but the product felt a little cheap. And while it's true that this product is cheaper than its competitors, it's really not that cheap for a drug store eyeliner (I think I got mine for $11-12) and thus not really worth it to me. I'd rather pay the extra money and buy one of the higher end brand's versions of this. December 12, 2007, 10:19 pm

I only got this after reading so many reviews so I absolutely had to try it. I didn't get it on sale because I was antsy about buying asap but I didn't care either. I immediately fell in love with it and knew that I had found my HG liner. After a month of using it, I now realize it is a good liner but I also believe it dries out too quickly on the brush when I'm applying it. I love the consistency, the color intensity and the fact that it does last all day on my oily eyelids (from 8am-10pm as a matter of fact.) I once fell asleep with it on and the eyeliner was still in place, just a little smudged on my oily lids. You do need a rather strong oil-based eye-makeup remover because face wash and water will simply not do for this. I have also heard that many people would rather buy MAC for a couple bucks more, but you can more than likely buy this on sale BOGOF, plus one look at the container and you can tell you're getting way more as well. I've read reviews for MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack and I don't have time to reapply the liner 10 times to get the same pigment I get with L'Oreal in 1-2 swipe(s). Plus not many of us are living next door to a MAC retail store either. Now the brush is extremely rough and scratchy feeling on my hand (I didn't dare risk it on my eyelid) and it's better off for grooming your eyebrows with. You definitely need to buy your own brush. Lately, though my only complaint about it is that when I'm applying my liner with the brush, it does seem to dry rather quick so you have to keep dipping your brush to grab the color.

I have never been one to be good at putting on eyeliner so I never wear it. Then I saw these and got the black one. After one day of wearing it I fell in love with the stuff. I have oily eyelids and most eyeliners just smudge everywhere after a couple of hours on me. This kind never smudged even after 8 1/2 hour work day and 3 hour night class. This is a winner in my book! December 13, 2007, 6:31 am

I own black, midnight blue, and eggplant. All colors are very true...what you see in the packaging is what you get once applied. I love the black...it dries down to a deep matte black. The eyeliner lasts all day without smudging or flaking. It is easity washed off at the end of the day. I actually like these better than MAC Fluidline...the colors are more vivrant than some of the Fluidlines and the texture is creamier. Some complain about the price being high for a drugstore item (about $11-12). However, there is more product in the container than the high end brands and you can ofter find these on sale. By the way...the brush it comes with is difficult to work with so invest in a good eyeliner brush. November 29, 2007, 4:00 pm

This cream liner was my first cream liner, and I had high hopes for it after trying the eye shadow duos. This did not impress me nearly as much in the way of ease of application and texture. I felt that I had to dig into the pot to retrieve color more than I'd like, and I also felt that the shadows made better liners for the money. These are a poor value when compared to the eye shadow duos by HiP. June 2, 2008, 2:43 am

The thing I like best about the L'Oreal HiP products is the vibrant colors! The eyliner is no different. I have the teal shade which is gorgeous. The angular brush that comes with it is just the right tool for application. (It's not too thick).
The liner itself is thick and spreads well for a great look. The product stays on and doesn't smear. I still prefer a pencil for liner, though. May 22, 2008, 10:09 am
