    Anyone else think the eyeliner is terrible? I doubt I could even get a second use out of it if I wanted to because it's so awkward to get out, I think most of it ended up dried on the back of my hand or in the applicator tube.

    The reviews I've read are pretty good.
    Newcastle didn't have any left.

    I can't say I'm impressed with mine either - I've heard lots of good things about the eyeliner itself, but the sample seems terrible. I could just about get some lines on my hand, but nothing except vague smudges on my eyelid, and even on my hand it wasn't the solid black lines I've seen from the full size one.

    I really struggled with mine as well. Seemed to be dried up and I ended up going over it with another eyeliner. A shame because I've heard great things! At least I didn't loose much as I swapped it for a nearly empty dried up old eyeliner I got free with a magazine...
  • With respect to the OP - this is the worst deal ever. The eyeliner is the most badly conceived piece of make up ever. I had no idea what to do with it and when I did work out how to get the liner out it ended up all over my fingers and nowhere near my eye!! Hold on to your old ones, ladies. :)

    I can't believe the Benefit facebook page telling everyone that the full size one is much better and to buy it and see. I assume they are going to refund everyone when it turns out the full size is just as crap?
