Revisiting the waterproof eyeliner dilemma

Finally after many many many many years of smudged eyeliner I have located the ultimate in smudge proof liner:

Nars - Larger than life long wear eyeliner - £17

http://www.johnlewis.com/283967/Product.aspx

It is available at John Lewis in a multitude of shades. I have snapped up the gorgeous shimmery brown and black.

I know I know I have said it all before and I am probably coming across as totally eyeliner fickle given my Lancome/Benefit post earlier this year..... but seriously my eyes water like crazy and nothing (not even a jog in 30 degree heat) budges this stuff. It stays on strong from 8am, when it is put on, until 6pm - 10 hours with total non-movement!! After this point the line will start to fade slightly but nothing I have ever tried even comes close to the staying power of this product.

This liner gets an Ally 9/10 rating.

My only gripe is the sharpening function. This is an automatic pencil and the built in sharpening facility is somewhat flaky which can make it hard to get a thin line. Regardless, this is my staple and until Nars bring out a manual sharpening pencil of the same variety, I will 100% be buying this every time.
