dejavu lasting fine S liquid eyeliner in glossy black

i know i said that i looooveee my k-palette eyeliner, and i still do, but i've recently found a new love. perhaps i become a japan-eyeliners lover now. i've tried two brands and i like them both. i still have dolly wink in waiting line, so i won't decide anything until then. plus i haven't tried the heroine one.

this is the description from their singapore website: last up to 24 hrs, super smooth smudge-, crease-, and fade-free formula. fortified with lash strengthening serum ingredients to provide nutrients from the roots of lashes. quick-dry water-based film formula is resistant to rubbing, sebum, sweat and tears, ensuring up to 24 hours of smudge-less wear. buildable colour intensity and dries to a rich, glossy finish. comes off thoroughly and easily with just warm water and promises zero staining on skin. the ultra-fine flexible brush tip holds a maximum level of long-lasting formula and fills in spaces between lashes effortlessly for a rich, deep intensity. supple and flexible brush tip delivers ensures the most precise application, thin or thick, and stays put all day. sweat, sebum and tears resistant silicon formulated material that wouldn't budge even through multiple layers. does not fade throughout the day.

the packaging: the packaging is rather big. it is plastic-laminated and have cardboard backing with the eyeliner is placed in the middle. there's an english text to indicate the type of eyeliner. although the color of the eyeliner body might give you a hint (the brush type one comes in pink, similar to pencil eyeliner, while the felt one is purple). there's also a small box on the bottom left that also indicate the type and shade of the eyeliner. black label for glossy black, and brown for the brown one.
the packaging
(see the whole cardboard thing is a waste? why not put smaller cardboard backing?)

the color: mine is glossy black and it's just like advertised. glossy and black. not super duper black like tony moly gel eyeliner and bbia liquid eyeliner, but still black.

the product: the eyeliner comes in pen shape. it's pink. the brand name and eyeliner type is written on the body, but unfortunately, there's nothing to indicate the shade. the only way to know what shade the eyeliner is by the label on the outer packaging. it will be troublesome if you have both shades of this eyeliner and obviously you throw away the outer packaging because it's a waste. i just hope they would put the shades name on the eyeliner body as well. this one has brush tip, similar to k-palette, but this one is smaller in diameter.

bottom left: the brush tip
bottom right: swatch on hand (see how i can draw thick and thin lines)

the result: since the brush is smaller, the line it produces is finer as well. the brush is flexible just like described, it can produces fine and thick line. and this one dries quicker too. in fact, i would say that this one is more sweat and smudge resistant than the k-palette one. as for tears resistant, i can't say for sure since i tend to hold my tears when i put my full makeup on. i never try cleaning it using warm water only, but the cleansing oil always cleans this one without any trace. unlike my tony moly and bbia liquid eyeliner that need separate eye makeup remover before i use cleansing oil to fully remove all the traces. luckily this one doesn't crumble after several hours.

okay.. short story, this is my new love. luckily, the k-palette is brown and this one is black. although this one is black, it doesn't as intense as my previous black eyeliner, so i can still use it daily and not for special occasion only.
