The Laura Mercier Line & Define Mini Longwear Creme Eye Pencil Collection ($45; lauramercier.com) features five of the long-wear creme eyeliner pencils in deluxe sizes. Last holidays, the Kohl Eye Pencil Set by Laura Mercier was one of my favorites and this time around, the creme eye pencils are just as fabulous. This set includes Noir (Jet Black), Cobalt (Soft Blue), Sage (Matte Green), Espresso (Matte Brown) and Violet (Blue-ish Plum). *Press Sample
I had tried a couple of shades from the line earlier and felt that Cobalt was quite patchy and I had assumed I got a defective piece. Turns out I din't - it was equally patchy and weak on pigmentation this time too. On the plus side, all other liners were very pigmented, smooth and easy to apply without tugging the lash lines. I've even used these on my waterline and Noir especially is a beautiful color for that and for tight lining. These pencils are very long wearing and waterproof. The creamy texture is nice to smudge out and doesn't budge one it sets - it doesn't set super fast giving me quite a bit of time to work with the color. The pencils are quite a nice size too and the colors are all something that you can just swipe and go with just a few coats of mascara. Overall, with the exception of Cobalt (its a nice color if built up quite a bit, but not the most vivid blue), I love every liner in this set and would definitely recommend if you like the convenience of pencil liners in some gorgeous neutral colors.

I've got this set for Christmas and it's a shame i was really excited about the Cobalt but like you find it a bit disappointing. The rest are good and don't smudge.
