Tarte EmphasEYES Aqual Gel, Lorac All that Glitters and L'Oreal HIP Chrome Eyeliner

The vibrant(it does perform at the same level as other high-end eyeliners) supposedly long wearing (not really) and retractable Tarte EmphasEyes Eyeliner is supposed to contain rich pigments suspended 50% water concentration.
I am not sure about the "fighting free radical, moisturizing, protecting" part but the Tarte eyeliner pencils do glide and feel a lot better than others I have tried. At the bottom row, Lorac All that Giltter Eye Pencil Set ($19) is just a space filler (since there weren't many tester around when I swatched the Tarte ones, which by the way is $18 a piece ), they turned out to be pretty nice looking as well.

Speaking of pencil eyeliners, if you are not the person who spends almost 20 dollars for an eyeliner pencil, L'Oreal HIP Chrome Eyeliner seems like a nice range to look into.
I got the particular shade Silver Lightening a few months back when L'Oreal HIP eye products went on sale for 5 dollars a piece. The pencil eyeliner is very rich, creamy and pigmented. The shade is so vibrant that I can't don't think there is any difference between the L'Oreal and those Stila Smudge Sticks I have tried.
