somethinc scandal waterproof retractable eyeliner in dark choco

some time ago, somethinc releases a lot of makeup products. one of them is a pencil eyeliner. they already have a liquid eyeliner with a felt tip, but there was a problem with it so they sort of, let it sold out and then improve the quality. they've just released the newer version, so if you're more of a liquid eyeliner gal, than you should buy that one. anyway, i bought this one because it has chocolate shade option even though it's been awhile since i use pencil eyeliner, so let's see how it goes. 
the box
this is the description from their website: it's eye-mportant to be scandalous. with precised microtip to achieve a perfect line! intense pigmentation waterproof eyeliner in only one swab! worry not, it is formulated to be water-resistant, smudge-proof and long lasting! equipped with sharpener to do its job to sharpen this creamy gel liner. #YourOnlyLimit. 
quick facts: micro tip to line and define easily, easy control grip and creamy glides, smudge-proof and water resistant, color choices for every occasion, suitable to draw in waterline, equipped with sharpener, dermatologically tested.
the pen
the packaging: it comes in brown/yellow box with the name of the product written at front and the shade name somewhere on the box. the eyeliner itself comes in a pen shape. it's brown with the same brown plastic cap as well. at the bottom, you can pull it off to reveal the sharpener. they printed the shade name near the bottom.
shade name
the color: there are three color options to pick, black, brown and gold. i pick brown because i'm kind of bored with black and black is too intense for daily, so i choose brown. 
the tip that's already become blunt
the product: they say that it has micro-tip. but i doubt that it's micro. it's the usual tip that all pencil eyeliners have. again, since this is creamy, the pencil is quite soft so the tip gets blunt easily. and the sharpener.. since the pencil is so soft, the sharpener can't work well. that's why i keep it blunt since i don't bother sharpen it.
the sharpener bottom but it's quite useless
the result: i do have to agree that this one is creamy and easy to glide. it's not irritating even when i use it on my waterline. in fact, i only use this on my waterline because i can't sharpen the tip so i only use this on my waterline and use another liquid eyeliner to draw the end on my eyelash. anyway, since it's soft, i end up broke the tip when i try to sharpen it. and i didn't bother to try again afterward. no matter how hard i try to sharpen it, i can't seem to sharpen it to its original shape. anyway, it works well on my waterline, it doesn't smudge and it lasts almost all day as well. around 6-8 hours. i can't say about the water resistant though.. 
how it looks like on my hand
anyway, it's been awhile since i try a pencil eyeliner, so i kind of forget how it feels to use one. however, now i remember why i stop using a pencil eyeliner. i can't draw the extended end like a kitten eyeliner that i always do. that's why i decided to only use this on my waterline and it works fine. it looks natural and it stay all day. if you're a beginner and like a pencil eyeliner, then this is a good option for you. it's easy to use, it's pigmented and creamy and it's affordable and easy to get. as for me, i don't think i'll buy pencil eyeliner ever again. i'll just stick to liquid eyeliner from now on.
