I bought a smashbox cream eyeliner from Sephora. I do not notice the smell though I have problems with it drying out. Day one I loved it. By day 4 it was going on harder like a pencil. I emailed Smashbox and was told first to keep it shut (duh, I only open it to use it) and then told to wipe the top layer off before use. Seems like at that rate I will end up with more wasted product then used. And when I wrote back and said that the person writing the emails wrote back that was her only idea and she did not know why I was having this issue. She suggested returning it.

I really loved this product that first day or 2 much more so then the Fluidlines. Especially the midnight purple. But with the dryness factor I am sticking with the Fluidlines too.
