Review: Essence Super Fine eyeliner pen

I had such high hopes for this product, I bought it because I'd read the description on the essence website and I forgot to wear eyeliner to uni one day and I felt odd! So I popped into priceline and bought this. 

The description on the website states : 

the all-rounder amongst eyeliners! the super fine eyeliner pen is riding on the trend-waves straight out of the usa and asia! this extremely long-lasting precision eyeliner has a particularly slim felt-tip applicator ideal for creating fine, subtle eyeliner looks as well as extravagant and dramatic styles.

Now, it definitely is long lasting, they don't lie there, and the felt tip is indeed slim.
The greatest problem is how fast it dries out. After only having this product a week the end of the felt tip is already getting dry which really disappoints me.
The thicker part of the felt tip however hasn't dried out at all so it is still usable.

The other problem is the fact that it stains. When they say it is long lasting they mean long lasting. It leaves a slight mark once you've removed it with a waterproof makeup remover, which is annoying because I don't like scrubbing at my eyes to get eyeliner off.

Overall, I probably would/might purchase this product again, because of how cheap it was. If I was creating a lot of looks quickly it would be useful, or if I was learning how to do a cat eye this would also be useful (which I'm not, but I guess everyone has to learn right?)

I think this is an average dupe for the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner (avaliable at Sephora), and I give it a 7/10 :)
