Formula Overview
$4.49/0.04 oz. - $112.25 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "full-coverage" with "16 hour" wear" that is "smudge-proof" and "water-resistant." Most shades were on the pigmented side with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that could be layered.
The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and comfortable to work with as the eyeliner glided across my skin without tugging or pulling. They wore around 10 hours on me before showing signs of thinning/fading, so not quite the 16-hours promised, but there was about half of the eyeliner still visible at the 16-hour mark.

I do like both shade colours because they are so practical and can be worn with any other colour, but of course I wish that Gold Medal lived up to its name and be more pigmented.
Lullaby is one of those shades that I always buy for use in my lower waterline in order to make my eyes look less small, but then I wind up forgetting that I even have have it! 🙄
