I was looking for a brown eye pencil for a wedding I was attending, and essence was the first counter I checked as they always have very affordable makeup. I immediately liked the color of this pencil. It's a pretty chocolaty color.

However I am not the biggest fan of this kohl. It does apply as a very nice color, but it's very dry, streaky and not at all smooth. I've even tried to warm this pencil up slightly, but still it doesn't glide on like it should. It isn't creamy at all, but rather flaky.

It doesn't have much lasting power. It doesn't do too bad of a job on the waterline and is definitely a lot smoother there. This eye pencil also smudges quite easily and doesn't dry very fast.
