I guess I’m not the only person who thinks Eyeko’s Cocoa Edit liquid liner ($22) is all that because it’s sold out in all the usual haunts (including Ulta, where I just added myself to a restock notification list). BAH! Still, SO. SUPER. GOOD.
It’s a rich, intense, dark chocolate brown with a shiny finish and a long-wearing formula that just keeps going. I can wear it all day, and it won’t transfer into my crease or smudge along my lower lash line, yet when it’s time to take off my makeup at night, it easily slips off with an oil-based cleanser.
The thin felt tip is long enough for me to easily draw an uninterrupted line from inner to outer corner, and because the tip’s flexible, I can flick the ends of my lines with very little drama. When I’m done, my liner is crisp and sharp with a shiny finish.
It’s so much better compared to the Clinique Easy Pen liner in brown. I bought it a while back thinking it would be just as life changing as the black Easy Pen liner, but the brown version isn’t nearly as pigmented as the black one, and it lacks staying power.
Hopefully Ulta will restock Cocoa Edit soon, and when they do, I’m buying two!

P.S. Speaking of things to fall in love with, get thee to Trader Joe’s and buy a pack or two of these Rosemary Croissant Croutons, and then thank me later.
I’ll have to try this color. A friend gave me a sample of this in black, and it’s one of the few liners that actually looked black, and not blue, on me. I prefer brown shades, so would probably love this one.
Hi, Erika. You will LOVE it. I’m very picky about my brown liquid liner (so many actually look red on me!), and this is a true dark brown.
This whole look is gorgeous! So glowy. I don’t bother with liquid liner because I feel like I’ll just make a mess but a formula like this may work.
Ok, so someone else posted today about these croissant croutons. I feel like that’s a sign…
IT’S A SIGN! I bought the croutons on a whim yesterday, and I’m already dreading the day when they disappear. They’re super good with a salad where the croutons are the star, like a Caesar. Or, you could just eat them right out of the bag!
BTW, I don’t bother with any liquid liner that’s hard to use. This one’s supremely easy, which is why I wear it. 🙂
Ooo it doesn’t have my really common allergen! I’ll have to try it. I’ve been using the Stila Stay All Day Micro Top liner. I also picked up the Lancôme Artliner in brown metallic.
I’m reading this while laying in bed with a cat in my lap and Hettie snoring.
I just can’t get on board with brown liner on me. I guess I have worn black so much, everything else feels weird.
