Benefit's They're Real Push-Up Eye Liner?

Has anyone tried this product?  It's similar to Smashbox's new Photo Angle liner, but Benefit was first.  I got a sample of brown liner with my Sephora order.  I don't think I like it.  I put it on an already made up face, so I will try with a fresh face and do it more carefully, but I found the application awkward.  It's also easy for the liner to be gloppy I think.  Is gloppy a word?  My spell checker isn't yelling at me.  Anyway, what did you think of this liner?  Is there a learning curve where you find your groove and like it more as you use it?

No, I haven't tried this product. Brown liner is tricky IMO though. I find a new liner has a learning curve but when it is very awkward from the beginning it almost never gets better for me.

Well, I tried it again today on a fresh face.  I have to be more careful and take more time when applying and it's still awkward, but the color is very nice and has good staying power.  I wouldn't buy a full size, but I think I will like my sample size well enough.  In any case, it's fun trying new products I wouldn't have otherwise tried.

Hi Stargazer77! This Benefit Liner was on Sephora's list of top returned items, so you are not alone.

I tried a sample of this.  I did not like it.  When you put it on it balls up on the end of the applicator and gets everywhere.  I felt like it was very messy.  Get the IT gel liner in the pot.  It is soooo much better and easier to apply!

Ugh!  I did not like it all.  It's one of the few things I've returned.  I bought it at Sephora and returned it after using it once.  It was way too difficult to use and I can't imagine trying to use it before work when I'm often pressed for time.  There may be a learning curve, but I wasn't willing to fuss with it.  I'm sticking with my gels and pencils.
