I purchased this in July 2023. I mostly wear everyday-natural tinted moisturiser type makeup especially now that I'm in my late-20's. I got this product thinking it'd be great to elevate my normal makeup on the rare occasion I do something special! I've used this 3 or 4 times, the last time I reached for it was earlier this week (about 7-8 months after purchasing.) The cap was secure but when I opened it up the nib/product was completely dried up. I couldn't for the life of me get any product out, I tried piercing it and eventually tried squeezing it. Much to my dismay the product did come out - sticky, half dried up and it squirted all over my bed, floor and ceiling. What a complete waste of money. The good thing I can say as the stay-power of this product is incredible. It clings on for dear life, I just wish that statement wasn't about the fact that I now have to repaint a large patch of my ceiling. When I spend what I'd consider high-end money on makeup I really expect it to last for at least a year's worth of uses.
