I wanted to love this eye pencil, as I love the idea of a gorgeous silver liner, but this doesn't do the job. I find the pencil breaks quite easily, and it is a pain to sharpen as the tip just keeps breaking off in the sharpener. I would love if it were in a different type of pencil -- such as a twist up, or in a pot that could then be applied with a brush. I hardly ever use it due to this issue.
