I've been stocking up on essence products recently and this particular eye pencil I came across a few months ago and have not used anything else since. Its so affordable and it does the job. It glides on smoothly & the black color is quite bold ,which I love :p.. Now it does not last as long as I would like it too on my eyes but hey that's hardly enough to complain about.. I jus touch up and I'm good to go for another few hours ;)..
