No issues with purchasing or shipping through Amazon. This is definitely a win and a repurchase for me. If you're interested in my thoughts on this product and how it compares to e.l.f.'s Kohl Eyeliner in the shade Berry Necessary, keep reading.I struggle with eyeliner running and smearing, and since kohl liners are typically designed to smudge, that doesn't exactly work in my favor. I also have slightly oily eyelids due to my skin type. This isn't a flaw specific to e.l.f.'s kohl liners...I have the same issue with many pencil liners, even ones marketed as waterproof. To my surprise, this eyeliner barely smears on me at all. That wasn't even the main selling point, as I'd more or less accepted that most pencil liners would always smudge on me unless they were liquid. What initially caught my attention was the shade Ruby. I also tested the waterproof claim by swatching both Berry Necessary and Ruby on my hand and washing them with regular soap. After about 15 seconds of light rubbing, Berry Necessary was almost completely gone, while Ruby looked practically untouched. I experienced the same results on my eyelids. Several hours after applying Ruby and working an entire shift, it still looked nearly identical to when I first put it on. Better than the panda eyes I typically end up with. What's especially impressive is that it removes easily with micellar water while still standing up to my eyelid oils and a bit of humidity. I love the color of Berry Necessary, but I find that it fades within a few hours. Over time, the pencil also seems to harden, making it more difficult to apply around the eye area. I wanted something with a very similar shade but better longevity, and Ruby delivered exactly that. I was initially worried that Ruby would lean too red and lack the darker dimension that makes a burgundy eyeliner so flattering, but it's exactly what I hoped it would be. Berry Necessary is slightly more purple, while Ruby is slightly more red. However, Ruby is not so red that it looks like a true red eyeliner rather than a burgundy one. I'd estimate it's only about 5% redder than Berry Necessary. For now, I'll use the remainder of my Berry Necessary pencil as a lip liner. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and glad I decided to take a chance on it!I added some photos of the liner on my eyes and the liners in regular + flash lighting.Ver másVer menos
