Black Treacle

Lisa Eldridge Black Treacle Seamless Glide Eye Pencil ($30.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a deep, inky black with subtle, cooler undertones and a matte finish.

  • Nearly opaque pigmentation in one stroke
  • Creamy, moderately emollient texture
  • Longer set time (as marketed), comfortable to work with
  • Long-wearing (10 hours of exceptional wear, ~50% remaining after 16 hours)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Top Dupes

These are the dupes the editor has pulled but not yet rated and officially entered.

Formula Overview

$30.00/0.4 oz. - $75.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "16-hour" wear and "40 seconds" of playtime "before setting to a budge-proof, waterproof and fade resistant finish." The brand also advised that if layered, the time it takes to set will be longer. As you might expect, the texture of the pencils was quite creamy and emollient, though I was surprised it didn't want to migrate as it was setting.

If you love being able to smudge or blow out your eyeliner, then this formula could be an excellent option. I didn't feel like I had to smudge or really "wait" before moving onto other areas of my makeup or just moving on with my day, though, despite it having a longer setting time.

The shade range was quite pigmented in a single layer, and the creaminess made the pencils comfortable to work with in the lid and lash line without pulling or tugging. They wore well for 10 hours on me before fading/thinning with about half the product still visible after 16 hours of wear.

Revlon Own It ColorStay Satin Ink Liquid Lipstick ($10.99 for 0.17 oz.) is a neon fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and fine lavender pearl throughout a glossy, cream finish.

  • Opaque pigmentation
  • Very fluid, spreadable, creamy
  • Slightly thicker/easier to over-apply, settled into lip lines
  • Set to a lightly-to-moderately tacky feel, no lifting
  • Transfer-resistant until eating
  • Very long-wearing (12 hours of wear but doesn’t make it through two meals well)

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview

$10.99/0.17 oz. - $64.65 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "comfortable, brilliant" and have "16-hour" wear that "doesn't dry out your lips" and is "highly pigmented." Most of the shades had semi-opaque to opaque coverage; some of the vampier shades tended to be sheerer, while the more mid-tone shades tended to be opaque.

The texture was lightweight, creamy, and smooth, but it was more fluid, and I found that the applicator seemed wont to over-apply. I tried to use one side of the applicator and only lightly patted on the other side if I needed more product to get an even layer of product, but if I used both sides of the applicator, it seemed like too much product.

The brand recommended a "minute or so" to set, and I would agree; it seemed to need a longer period to really get into place to a more transfer-resistant finish. It was more prone to getting on my teeth until it was set, but after it set, I did not have issues with it transferring onto my teeth, but the wait was long-ish in "feel" just sitting there.

Once set, it had a moderately tacky feel but typically did not lift up color. There were a few shades that I found to perform less consistently with the overall range, and these tended to have issues with texture at different stages of wear. It was comfortable to wear, flexible, and non-drying.

I found the wear varied a lot from shade to shade with some shades lasting as little as six hours and others lasting closer to 12 hours. In general, most shades did not get through two meals well. Unsurpising, some of the lighter shades tended to be the shorter-wearing shades, whereas richer and more red-based shades lasted better.

It had a sweet, fruity-floral scent but no discernible taste to me.
