Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil
-02.28.13
Quick Take: waterproof, smudgable, very smudgable, does not wash off very easy, very disappointing
This eyeliner goes on real easy but after 15 - 20 minutes it smears and smudges so bad.....makes you look like you've got 2 black eyes. And it's hard to get off your face! It just smears and smudges more. Am definitely returning...it cost way too much for the mess it makes.

This product does smear quite quickly, but the dramatic look you can achieve with a couple strokes is worth it. I just make sure I check myself in the mirror every so often.

Quick Take: long wearing
I got the nude color of this and was expecting it to be a much lighter color. It is not exactly the same as the picture, but it still works well. So far I like it a lot, it stays on all day and I would probably repurchase it.

Quick Take: long wearing
If you are looking for and eyeliner to wear on your water line... Look no further. I went to Sephora just on a whim and ask a consultant for an eyeliner that I can wear on my waterline and I told her I have tried almost everything in store since I purchased most of the eye liners in store. She recommended Givenchy Magic Kajal I tried in the store and fell in love finally an eyeliner that stays and doesn't melt away within a couple of minutes. I have been wearing it for 3 hours now and it's still there same intensity as when I put it on. It is so worth the 25$

-12.30.12
Quick Take: smudgable, smooth, blendable, dark
Just for the record, no pencil eyeliner has ever stayed on my waterline for more than 15-30 minutes. Usally within that time period it's gone. I've tried sooooo many brands, waterproof and non-waterproof ones as well. I expected a miracle with this one, but it ended up a dissapointment. I did however like how it smudged on my lid for a smokey effect, and it is really really black which I really liked, it screams drama. i really wished it would have stayed on my waterline...but it didnt. That's the only reason why I gave it 4 stars, but if you have a normal waterline, then this pencil is for you. It's also really smooth and glides on perfectly.

It's worth it!
-12.01.12
Worth the money! It's so soft and intense, it's crazy. Great for waterline, it stay on for me than any other brand. I have used it with a liner brush for a soft cat eye look on my lids. Great for a soft look during thr day, and sultry look during the night!

Quick Take: creases, smudges
This is great to use over a primer and under black shadow to create a more intense smokey eye, however i have never tried a product that creases so much without a primer. It also smudges very easily. I must admit the color payoff is fantastic, a true black.

takes time...
-11.21.12
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable, black goes on very thick and intense
i bought both of these crayons and the color does glide on but i think i need more time to practice using the black…it really goes on thick and i had to lighten it up and remove most of it with a q-tip. but i do love the nude and it doesn't bleed out or wash away when my eyes get teary...

Best pencil ever -- and I've used a few!
-11.11.12
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable, very cleopatra
Actually went back to the store to buy TWO more -- want to make sure this stays in my roster forever. Slips on like silk, the black is not a sort of gray, and even when it smudges it's very sexy. What's not to like?

Dark, creamy, thick
-09.12.12
Quick Take: smudgable, long wearing
This goes on smooth, stays on and is very rich. It's a shorter pencil with a wide point so application line is wide. If you are doing a smokey eye, this is very blend able.

Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable, rock n roll
I bought this pencil after watching the video on it. Its absolutely perfect. Everything you want in that ultra dark black Eye Lid - Avril Lavigne - Rock star look. I really couldn't find anything more perfect. And it does not fade. You can put shimmery powder shadow over it for different affects. I'm becoming more and MORE and huge Givenchy fan. They're products are VERY high quality.

My New Secret Weapon
-04.19.12
Quick Take: long wearing, smudgable, easy to use, pure black, dramatic, perfect
I am an eye make-up junkie and have used almost every eyeshadow, liner, and mascara that you can buy in the US or online. Out of all the products I've worn, I've only written one other review (YSL Faux Effects Noir Radical Mascara), so that says a lot of what I think of this eye pencil. I love it b/c it is super versatile. It's hard to find an eyeliner that is truly black enough to be dramatic, let alone one that can also be worn daily. This can do both. I literally wear this everyday to work and don't even need eyeshadow. I just lightly line my upper eye and smudge, and the effect is perfect. For drama, I line more heavily and smudge with a matte black eyeshadow (Rock 'n Republic has the best) as well as liniing the inner rims of my eyes. I usually use Laura Mercier's cake liner for this, but this is quicker and works just as well. The only negative thing I can say about this wonder pencil is that it can be a smidge messy.

i used it as an eyeshadow pencil
-03.29.12
Quick Take: smudgable
it spreads easily, which is a plus for something so black. but you have to like the messy look, because it will move to your creases (which i don't mind too much). as an eyepencil, it is very good too. easy smokey eye,

blackest black, used best as smudge stick
-01.03.12
Quick Take: smudgable, rich
I love how rich and creamy this is, I put this on my bottom lid for extra glam, and on my top lid for a quick smoky eye. I draw a line from the center of my eye to the outer corner then smudge it with a brush. Two coats of mascara and I'm good to go!
