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!

Overboard looks great for the lower lash line. I’ve been looking for a good bronze pencil for summer.
I think that I may possibly have Sunnyvale? Anywho, I’m definitely on board with them bringing back Overboard! I like Getting Lucid, too!
*Get Lucid, not Getting! Sleep deprivation is playing with me here 🙃
I lie the shimmer shades the best, but they do look a little ‘soft’ but that may make them easier to apply.
Not surprised about the burgundy performing poorly. All of the reddish purple/plum/burgundy eye liners I’ve gotten from CP over the years perform similarly, so I always skip those now. Glad to see my favorite, Overboard, is still performing well. I’m so excited they have it back in stock and it is one of those things I’m going to get backups of.
Joy Ride could have been so much fun if it had been anything like the other liners. I like the idea, but don’t get how they actually decided to produce such a dry looking, unevenly applying product.
I really like Sunnyvale for my own use. It went to the WL.
Thanks for reviewing these. I’ve been on the hunt for good eyeliners since MJ highliners were discontined, but I’d been holding off on these pending reviews. I’m now feeling good about plan to get Get Lucid and Overboard.
Aw, I had hoped they’d fixed certain shades being dry and crumbly when they reformulated…
I can’t believe so many years and a new formula later nothing about joyride has changed 🙃
