Price: Catrice costs 3,29€ in any DM drugstore or in Kruidvat stores in Belgium. Yves Rocher costs 7,70€ in Yves Rocher stores or their online shop. From time to time, Yves Rocher liner pen is offered with the purchase (as was my case) or it is on sale during January or July (50% off).

| Yves Rocher 12h felt-tip liner |
Colour: I bought both liners in colour Black. The intensity was quite different I must say. While Catrice’s black was blue tone (when I was removing it in the evening there was a blue tattoo-like colour left on the lid), Yves Rocher was straight black. Catrice colour wasn’t consistent when drawing a line, there were gaps in colour and I had to repaint it in some places. I think part of this problem was that it has very watery consistency. Yves Rocher intensity was good although not as intensive as L’Oreal Super Liner Blackbuster.
Applicators: both pens have felt-tip applicators, they are very similar in shape although Yves Rocher’s tip is little bit pointer. Both liners created the same line, thin and thick as needed.

Longevity: both eyeliners lasted all day long till I remove them with make-up remover. What concerns pen longevity, while Catrice lasted for good 3 weeks, it wasn’t full on black colour, already from the beginning, on the other hand Yves Rocher had nice colour but the tip broke after 2 weeks and it was difficult to use and to create nice line.
Final verdict: since one had inconsistent colour and other one didn’t have strong tip to last more than 2 weeks I’m not going to repurchase any of them. I was actually very glad to throw them away after 1 month of combined yet difficult use. I still have few more drugstore eyeliners in stash, so I’m keeping my faith that I will find one worth repurchasing.
