I have the clear one, and it's pretty good. It stops my lipstick from smudging out anyway.

I just picked up both travel sets and I'm in love. They are hands down the best eyeliner I've tried.

I'm a little nervous about sharpening them, though, because I've heard horror stories about how hard they are to sharpen. Does anyone have any good tips and advice on what sharpener to use?

I'm thinking about putting them in the freezer beforehand so they aren't so soft, but I dunno.

I love them! Ordered them online yesterday, didn't find them in 3 different sephoras, so I guess they are pretty popular

Ahhh thank you so much! I've been really nervous about it.

Those of you who are saying Zero is darker than Feline are daffy. It's definitely got a helluva lot better staying power than Feline, but Feline is pitch black. The only other black pencil that's rivaled its blackness is Stila's Onyx, and even that has a bit of a brown tint to it when smudged- whereas Feline has an almost blue-black sensibility to it.

I was initially disappointed with these, they smudged the second I touched them and some of them have stupid silver glitter in them (and I'm generally not a glitter fan.) I realized that they had to "dry" for a few seconds and then they lasted like crazy, but the glitter was still offputting for me. The lip pencils, however, faded after a couple hours or so and didn't have the same intensity and lasting power as the eye liners. I think alot of MAC's Pearl Glide liners as well as MUFE's Aqua Eyes are more interesting and versatile.

I'll probably end up getting the Velvet Rope set, just to play with, but I'm pretty happy with my Feline- unlike so many of you it seems, I enjoy the smudgy effect it leaves.

So true for me as well! I finally tried and was very pleasantly pleased with Ozone because I've tried other clear lipliners over the years with no success.

I have maybe three different sharpeners of different types (none of them is an expensive one). I have never had an issue sharpening any 24/7 pencil. Even my $1 single slot E.L.F. one does the job great! I really do believe that the operator's method of sharpening is what is important with these. These are just more different, softer. I sharpen them steadily but gently, using as consistent a turn as I can. When I get ready to remove the pencil I just slightly pull it from the sharpener as I slow down sharpening, and it comes out cleanly. You'll feel it when it feels right, if that makes any sense.

Wow, I've been looking at these for quite some time, but thought they'd be a bit pants. I can't believe how much everyone is raving about them. Looks like I'll have to try them - but I bet it can't beat my beloved Feline!!

the velvet rope set is AWESOME! I had seen videos talking about them on youtube, and had to go try it myself after all the praise they were getting. No other eyeliner has ever stayed on my waterline like these do...its definitely worth the price considering how many different colors you get, and they're a fairly decent size too. So far I've had no troubles sharpening them with a regular MAC sharpener.

I just picked up both of the new sets too, they are really great. I have been in love with Zero for quite a while. I too, originally thought it was smudgey- then read about letting them set for about 20 seconds. Makes a huge difference!

I also had some difficulty in sharpening mine, read some advice to try refrigerating them prior to sharpening, it really works. I tested their new "Grind House" sharpener at Sephora and it made the tester look like a brand new pencil. I had to get that too.


Urban Decay also advises to make sure you leave the cap on your 24/7's. They may dry out otherwise, hope that may help someone!

Yay for 24/7's!

Just picked up the Velvet Rope set, which is my very first foray into these pencils.

WOW. They truly are all that. Easy to apply, smudgeable, and stay until you take them off. Exceptional formula all around!

I'm a total convert. Ready to throw all my other pencils away.

I live in montreal and there is a Sephora that just opened up this summer. When I went to visit, they had not Urban decay, except for the Mascara. I really want to buy the eye pencil sets but dont want to order them online...I was gonna ask here before I actually go back to Sephora because it is two hours away from my house. Do you know if they actually carry the full line of UD now? Or at least the pencil sets...?

They should! I know the store near me (in St. Louis) does. You might wanna go online to sephora.com and then look up your store's telephone number and call ahead to make sure.

i absoulutely love them and they are my favorite pencil eyeliner! i have been using bourbon since i got it for christmas in a best of urban package and i have been using it since bourban is a great dark bronzey brown that looks dark but not as harsh as black since then i have aquried lust, zero and deviant and i am trying to get covet, yeyo and electric! i cant use them for my waterline and really they smudge on your top lid if your lids are greasy but if you use them with udpp underneath it doesnt happen! they just go on so smoothly and easily i deal with their minor flaws and the colors are amazing!

if you like these try using their heavy metal glitter liner on top of them for a fun and funky look [another favorite of mine have spandex and limited edition gold mildnight cowboy looking to get the trio!]

spandex glitter liner looks great over zero!

Okay, so... I've got the VIP set in my basket, but before I check out, do I NEED the velvet rope set too??

Um, yes?
yes.gif
It's a great set of basics - the VIP has the brighter shades so the only one I think that is the same in both sets is Zero (black).

Off topic but not. How would you compare them to MUFE eye pencils? Cause basically I just want a gold one...
