I don't think I've ever seen so much buzz for an eyeliner before!
Being that I absolutely LOVE Benefit's They're Real Mascara, I squealed in excitement when I found out that they will release a gel liner pen (don't judge!).
Benefit describes this gel liner pen as innovative, and heres why:
1 - Its the first ever lash hugging gel eyeliner in a pen.
2 - The innovative AccuFlex tip makes it easy to get close to your lashline.
3 - It is a waterproof, matte black gel formula that doesn't smudge or dry out.

Now, for my experience with the liner...
In order for you to use, you must twist the end to dispense the product out. It said it takes up to 10 rotations to dispense product, but it look me like 20 to see it come out the first time.
The formula for this gel is pretty dry and I found that you have to work rather quickly before it sets, because once it dries, it stays put! When applying along the lash line it worked as promised - it lined as close as possible. One thing I did find myself doing was wiping off excess liner off of the tip a few times. The AccuFlex tip does make it very easy to do a cat eye, but the line wasn't as crisp as I'd like. Once my line was drawn I wanted to go over it one more time to make it darker, but it was very difficult, as it skipped along what I had on already.
So, is it really waterproof? YES! This stuff did not move at all! Even after eye makeup remover, there was still traces of it on my eyelid.
Is it worth it? Only if you aren't good with liquid eyeliner, and also if you want to make a fool proof, quick cat eye look. You just have to work really quickly with this product. This product will retail for $24 USD and will be available in July.
