I am loving Urban Decay lately, I am using so many of their products every single day at the moment. I was on the lookout for a brown pencil kohl-style eye liner, and I stumbled across this Cosmic set of the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Liners. I am an absolute sucker for anything miniature so I just couldn't resist, even though I'd never tried any of their eye liners before.

Favourite High Street Eyeliners
I am a massive eye liner fan. On a pretty much daily basis, I wear a cat-eye flick on my upper lash line, so I am always on the look out for the most long-lasting, pure black, quick drying eye liner which is easy to apply. These are my favourite eye liners at the moment.
My sister introduced me to this eye liner years ago, and since then we have both repurchased it an endless amount of times. It is really easy to use, leaving a completely black line which is long lasting. It isn't very waterproof, but that doesn't really affect me, and it isn't suitable for wear on your waterline. The applicator is short and spongy, making it really easy to create lines as thick or thin as you like. It's dirt cheap, and really easy to pick up on the high street, making it my go-to every day eye liner.
Another recommendation from my sister, the Prestige eye liner is a kohl pencil I have returned to over and over again. It smoothly glides onto my waterline, is long-lasting and is a complete bargain! No complaints here!
I bought the crystal version of this eye liner by accident, meaning to pick up the true black shade. The sparkles actually aren't too noticeable on your eyelid, especially when it is paired with a shimmery shadow. The long spongy applicator makes for really easy application, and the formula dries really quickly, which I love. I'll definitely be purchasing the Carbon Gloss version when the next pay check comes in!
My best friend swears by this eye liner and uses it on both her lash line and waterline on a daily basis. I tend to stay away from this on my lash line because I prefer gel or liquid, but I do like wearing this on my lower water line. It applies really easily, and I love that it's a twist-up pencil, eliminating the need for sharpening.
This is without a doubt my holy grail eye liner, I have recently repurchased after using my last pot on a daily basis for a whole year! It is a true black shade, easy to apply, dries quickly, doesn't smear or transfer and dries quickly - what more could I ask for?! It can be applied to both lash line and waterline with no irritation, which I love and it lasts all day on me. A definite must-have!
Maybelline Liquid Eye Liner
This eye liner was sent to my by my grandmother, who lives in France. I've never seen this liner in a shop or on-line so I'm unable to provide a link or price for it unfortunately. It has a long thin brush applicator which is a lot easier to use than you'd expect, and the colour is true black. The formula takes a while to dry, but it is very long lasting, which makes up for waiting another two minutes in the morning in my opinion. I do really like this eye liner, but it's a bit of a pain that I won't be able to repurchase it when I run out.
What eye liner do you reach for most often? I really fancy adding the Pixi Lash Line Ink to my collection, it sounds right up my street and has the sweetest packaging of all time!
