To date, the shade Black Chocolate is Limited Edition. I purchased this eyeliner as part of the Dark Chocolate Set from BB's fall/winter '15 collection. It was launched in September 2015 - the set also contains a Longwear Eyeshadow Stick in Truffle and an Extreme Party Mascara in Black Chocolate. I was very pleasantly surprised by this eyeliner:
- Applies beautifully, smooth and without tugging or skipping at the lid
- Shade is a beautiful dark neutral chocolate, definition without the harshness of black
- Lasting power was all day with only minor flaking and almost no fading or transfer.
This is a completely different experience compared to the other colors in that Long Wear Eye Pencil line that I tried: Smoke, Mahogany, Black Plum and Black Navy were all great colors but all went on waxy, they flaked even upon application, and they didn't last. Basically this was a major fail, and a costly one at that price point since these pencils retail for $25 separately. Plus the Navy one was the worst because the "lead" (the color insert inside the wooden pencil) kept falling out and eventually broke, just ridiculous. So I swore to myself that I would stay far away from these pencils. Therefore I was buying the Dark Chocolate Set for the eyeshadow stick and I'm thrilled that the eyeliner is so good. I'm unsure if the company has improved the quality of all shades in the range of Longwear Eye Pencils, but if this color were separately I would definitely consider repurchasing.
