Formula Overview
$13.00/0.01 oz. - $1300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "super-creamy, waterproof formula" that has "intensity." The pigmentation ranged from shade to shade with the more matte shades tending to have semi-opaque, buildable coverage, while the shimmers were often a bit sheerer and did not always build up as well.
The texture ranged from lightly creamy to moderately creamy but were comfortable to work with on the lash line without tugging or dragging. They claimed 12-hour wear, but my experience was that they lasted closer to eight to eight and a half hours for most shades. They seemed water-resistant overall. The range seemed decent but nothing ground-breaking nor a real improvement over most eyeliner ranges available. Given that these are twist-up, they contain very little product for the price, so not the first formula I'd reach for.

As a fellow teal loving person, I totally feel ya on Forest Green, Christine. This one is just…wimpy. 🥺
Olive is a maybe. Currently, I’m still very happy with my half stick of UD Stash still left. Hopefully, they don’t muck with the 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil formula.
If it wasn’t for the ridiculous wear times, some of these would have rated a bit better – and yes, the teal shade was a disappointment. Not many teals around these days, so this would have been in the more unique category.
Forest Green could have been such a great liner, I love the colour, and I’m not a teal lover generally, but as a liner, wonderful. Such a pity it wasn’t a great product.
I do like Olive Green a lot, maybe because I have a green, light and muted, but still green t-shirt and shimmery light green eyeshadow today. Or maybe because it is a lovely shade of green.
Woot! So happy for the Olive shade.
