Formula Overview
$7.00/0.007 oz. - $1000.00 Per Ounce
The updated formula is supposed to have "18-hour" wear that is waterproof and be "super pigmented" for both the lash line as well as the waterline. The brand stated that the formula will set "after around 10 seconds." Many shades had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable coverage, but some shades had uneven, sheerer coverage that did not layer well, so they were more challenging to apply and to use.
The majority of shades were creamy enough to glide across the lash line without tugging or pulling, though a few shades were stiffer, more prone to breaking or dragging.
The formula seemed water-resistant based on testing with water, but the wear was more like 10 to 13 hours (depending on the shade) rather than 18 hours of solid wear. A lot of the shimmer shades lasted four to six hours on the waterline, while more matte shades tended to last five to seven hours on my waterline. These are long-wearing times for a pencil eyeliner, generally, but they are a fair bit short of the 18-hours claimed so a lot of shades rated lower than they might seem if you aren't a stickler for 18-hour wear!

Ooh! I would have so much fun with Surf Thing, Mare, and Kicker!
I would have included Spring Break, but I do have Piggy Bank around here somewhere?
I was ready to order the purple and the pink one, until I read on CP’s website that they aren’t meant for use near the eye. I don’t know of anything more directly on the eye than eyeliner, so I passed. Too bad since they do look pretty and they did score well.
These are better quality than some of the others, but if the pink and purple ones aren’t meant for the eye area – what is the point?
I just received Mare in the mail today along with the matching mascara. Haven’t tried the mascara yet but I was blown away by the texture of Mare, probably the nicest texture of any eye pencil I’ve ever tried!
I really like the silver and the purple ones.
I really have to check all my eyeliners that are still packed away, maybe I have a silver one. I’m sure I don’t have a lighter purple and find myself very tempted by it.
