Grand Offense: Messy packaging. "I really dislike this container/application bottle. You pull out the wand and the stuff goes everywhere ... then the wand has a really blunt foam applicator that creates serious fall-out upon application. The actual kohl powder is really lovely. I just wish it wasn't in this type of bottle." -- venus_nouveau, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Dry tip. "The color dries out very quickly, and at certain angles doesn't work at all!" -- lak987, TotalBeauty.com member
"It is difficult to get the product on. If you can get it to flow from the tube to the felt tip, it still skips and dries out. I bought two and returned them both." -- soonbslim, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: No staying power. "It goes on well, but doesn't stay on. I always end up with eyeliner gunked up at the corner of my eyelids and underneath. It's a constant look in the mirror and wipe under the eyes!" -- Jessica_Long, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Fleeting. "I was disappointed ... it fades quickly and smudges when touched. There are much better eyeliners out there and I would not recommend this product to a friend." -- Elisemarie, TotalBeauty.com member

Grand offense: Iffy quality. "So expensive and so disappointing. Difficult application: Dries too fast and the texture is too thick. The brush is not refined enough." -- GoyaLL, TotalBeauty.com member
"I was very disappointed that my eyes would turn red every time I used this. I have used liquid eyeliners of all brands but never had this effect before." -- HannaNYC, TotalBeauty.com member
