I bought this because I loved the black cream eyeliner so much and I wanted another color. Maybe it's because of the shimmer in this color, but the texture of this is more powdery than the black one, and is much more difficult to apply. The color itself is sort of watery and sheer and you need a few layers to start to see the color. But it's not as easy a task as it seems, because each new layer rubs away the layer beneath it. Applying it to reasonable results is hard work, and when you're done the color is more of a muddy, muted purple and not the vibrant purple you see in the jar. Plus, it was also quite impossible to wash the stuff off the brush. The only plus is that it does remain in place the whole day, and it looks nice once you get it into place.
I still think the black is the best eyeliner I had and recommend it strongly to anyone, but I will probably skip the rest of the shimmery colors of this line.
