My beautiful mom introduced me to this product. We are big Essence fans, and the Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever and Hot Chocolate are the only eyeliners I use. After she showed me hers, I went out and got mine in the same shade: 06 Cocoa Bean.

Two things:

1) The pigmentation of this pencil is intense. One smooth line delivers a clear line of rich colour.
2) The formula is divine. As with most good gel liners I have tried, the formula is soft but not smudgey, and simply glides on.

Because it is waterproof, I would recommend this product for those who struggle with watery eyes, or if you want to glam it up at a pool or beach party.
