Ok so in this post I am going to talk about the 3 eyeliners that I own from ELF.
I own the colors coffee, black and ivory. Of the 3 that I own, I love the colors coffee and black. Ivory - not so much. Lets talk about why I don't like ivory.
When I purchased it all the other colors were out of stock but I wanted to try the consistency of the product. I thought that this would be a matte white color... honestly I don't really know why I wanted a matte white right now but at the time it is what I expected. I received it in the mail and ripped it opened only to find out that white was more of a pearly silver color.
UGH!!
I was so mad because on the website you can not tell the color the product. So I wasn't really sure what to do with it. I tried it as a highlight, it was not bad.
The black is very dark and rich. When I think of coffee I think of a really dark brown - the coffee color is not very dark but it is such a great color!!
These eyeliners are really great.
I have tried a variety of eye liners - liquid and kohl pencils. I have a big problem with smudging, so finding the perfect liner has been a big challenge for me. ELF cream liners claim to be: "Smudge-proof, budge-proof and water-resistant coverage for all day wear to combat against, sweat, tears and rain". I would say that this holds true. They hold up all day too!
I really don't have anything bad to say about these except that ivory is not a matte white. I really want to get the midnight color to complete my collection!!

I defiantly recommend these to anyone and everyone!!
For only $3 give them a try!
Thanks for the info - this is one of the few e.l.f. products that I haven't tried yet and I don't have many cream liners that really don't smudge without a sealer so I'll be placing an order to try these out today! :):)
