I was not even going to purchase it because I saw this post, but when I got to the counter all the BB girls were flocking around them and loving them. They told me that so far it is the first eye pencil that Bobbi came out with that they like. They have not liked Nancy Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559626748603407224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-48910102028785456162012-03-22T05:04:40.357-04:002012-03-22T05:04:40.357-04:00Hi Charlestongirl,

There were raves about the product and I ordered sight unseen and did not like it at all. My sales rep said then that they sold out instantly so that Bobbi would include them in the main collection.

You'll notice that the lip pencils are regularly reformulated and the same with the eye pencils, although they tend to disappear altogether and then make a surprise return. I think Bobbi is just loves the gel liner the best: It's like having a Mamavalveeta03https://www.blogger.com/profile/17079883155916629361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-26897246567819122832012-03-20T20:27:48.322-04:002012-03-20T20:27:48.322-04:00I'm sorry to hear the problem with the pencils...I'm sorry to hear the problem with the pencils. I've been trying bare essentials pencils. They glide on smoothly and the colors are gorgeous. I would like to try the gel liner though from BB. I'm very pleased with the natural bare essentials. I have eye allergies that cause me a lot of grief and so far the bare essentials hasn't bothered them.

In this case, I anticipated breakage, acted accordingly, and they still broke. Maybe I'm a total klutz.
