the packaging: it's a automatic pencil eyeliner in a black plastic pen-like shape. pretty shaky.. and slimmer than usual automatic eyeliner. but it's easy to twist the pencil out. unlike my sister's revlon, which takes her ages to figure out how to twist the pencil out.

the product: the color payoff is good. creamy and super easy gliding just like advertised. it's so soft that i broke the tip after i make my first swatch (ouch..). but i have to say it isn't smudgeproof. i've tried it on my waterline, and since it's quite humid and hot, i ended up a little bit like panda. as for waterproof, i will try it later. will update with pics later. as for smudgeproof, i've tried it without primer, with primer, and with setting powder on top of it. all of them are useless in preventing smudging. well, i haven't try top it off with powder eye shadow though.. will try it later and report it back to you.

after all, since i got this for free, i like using it since it's creamy and it's super easy to use. perfect for beginner. the tip is quite fine, but since i broke it, it's kinda hard to make cat eye with this eyeliner. but if i have to buy this myself, i will pass it.
