My Thoughts About It:
Essence Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner ' Midnight in Paris ' comes in a small glass jar without any brush or applicator.
The formula is matte and is jet black in color . The texture isnt creamy and dries within seconds so you need to be very quick to work with it. One swipe is enough for a good color and somehow the second layer will give you a patchy look due to its quick drying property. It stays on my lids for more then 6 hrs , after that it started fading( my lids are super oily) . It hardly stays on my water line just like any other eyeliner (yeah I am that lucky )
Somehow it lasts for maximum six months in the jar once opened and after that the top layer started getting dried . Though you can still use it after scratching the top layer.

The claim is right that its water proof because it need some serious efforts to be wiped off completely .
For its price , i think its a good product if you are an expert in eyeliners because of its fast drying feature .
