I swatched a lot of these yesterday & the shades were very lovely. They seemed creamy & smooth & pigmented. I may get the browns, grey & one of the lighter cream shades. Some have a bit of pearl to them & some matte.
The pink one is VERY Barbie deep medium blue pink.

T didn't seem to like them very much. I am going to pick up Brass Band and see how I like the formula. Since they are permanent I'll go from there.

Yes, at least try one then you'll know. I don't go by what T says much because my experience with product is never like hers.

Wow thanks for posting the links. These "grades" are really harsh! LOL. I guess I need to try them on in the stores first...

You're welcome. I usually just got to Temptalia for swatches and comparisons. I think she grades too harshly. A lot of memebers usually have a completely different experience with the same products she gives bad grades to. So I just take her reviews with a grain of salt.

I love love the shade on me. Its like the perfect deep brown with subtle gold flecks. Now to see how the wear time will be. It went on so creamy smooth & flawless!
It gets an A+ from me
. ...at least until I see how it wears.

Well, it is a basic deep cool brown so it probably is similar to other shades, but I love the slight gold flecks in it. It really makes my hazel eye color pop. I had a liner from Smashbox that I LOVED ( Lust) & this is pretty close to it.Can't wait to hear your feedback. Would you say it's similar to anything else in the perm range or a LE eye liner?

I also thought her reviews were kind of harsh, however, Technakohls were never that smooth for lining the upper lids. What I've always loved them for was for lining the water lines. It used to be everything would smudge and go raccoon eyes on me except Technakohl. Now, my body chemistry has changed, so Kohl Powers don't smudge on me like they used to, but Technakohl is still more long lasting. I think I like the Pro Longwear pencils the best for their richness and creaminess, but they sure do not have the range of awesome colors like this new line of Technakohls do - not by a long shot!
I didn't much care for any of the metallic colors, all the coppers, golds and silvers, plus the metallic pale white one, but all the other ones are really beautiful and durable. Even the flesh colored ones were durable in my waterline, which is a first for me - no other nude pencil formula ever did that before, not even the Chromagraphic pencil.
I love pretty much all of them, but many of the grey and teal shades are quite close to each other, so if you like those, you may want to check them all out in person to be sure you get the very best of the bunch for your skin tone.
The ones I particularly love are: Bare Asset (very yellow toned to really cancel out any red waterlines - my allergy days will love this one), Risqué (also really great coverage for a nude pencil), Metalhead (very complex blue grey with gold), Cast Iron (looks just like my beloved Midnight Snack fl), Vent (such a pretty sea green), Clay (totally flat, matte neutral grey - so modern), Alpha Grey (very sexy, subtle gold, grey melange that isn't too dark).
Sourpuss and Funfare are going to be great for summer! So glad these are perm. because I am going to wind up with half of them easy. I also like that the colors don't overlap the PLW shades for the most part. Also glad there is a great variety of greys to choose from, since I think that's one of the most flattering pencil shades out there.
