Disaster! Rimmel Exaggerate no longer available in brown

Ok so I am exaggerating a teensy wee bit, but...

I have been wearing flicky eyeliner in dark brown for more years than I care to think. After much trial and error, discovered Rimmel's liquid eyeliner in brown by far the easiest for me to apply and looked best. I went to restock and discovered only black available. Tried a bigger Boots... A small independent chemist... Superdrug... Finally looked on the Rimmel website. They now appear only have liquid eyeliner in black, which isn't quite right for my colouring.

So either I start a campaign for Rimmel to bring it back (could take some time) or you lot recommend an alternative. Please? Has to be a short, brush in an angled holder like the Rimmel one, I can't get on with the straight pen style for some reason. And preferably in the same sort if price bracket (under a tenner). Thank you!

I can only wear brown. I treated myself to Lancôme Artliner but I've also had good results with this

Brilliant, thanks both of you! I've ordered a Rimmel one from the Amazon seller (would never have thought to look there for cosmetics, do Amazon sell Everything in the World now?) and will check out the Revlon one when it runs out, some time in 2014 probably.

This gets a lot of love! I overhead a woman asking a SA what she had on her eyes. It was this. She looked awesome, and kept raving about how cheap it was and how it was the best she'd ever found (lasting power, ease of application etc)
From the reviews, it looks like it may come in a dark brown:

It's weird how black is the default; I find it really hard to get brown in many shops. Black looks very harsh on a lot of people IMO.

Anyway I actually found that Natural Collection brown is really good, and less gloopy than many more expensive brands.

I was a huge fan of the brown Rimmel Exaggerate eyeliner for years. However, have switched allegiance to Urban Decay's 24/7 Liquid Liner . The brush is more ultra-fine nail polish brush than felt tip but it is very easy to use and perfect when you want fine definition rather than Amy Winehouse chic :) It is also fine enough to use under the eye which I have never done with any other liquid liner.

I love it so much I have just bought it in "Siren" which is a gorgeous turquoise. Ordered through Look Fantastic on Thursday and it arrived today with regular delivery (they say 7-10 days I think).

You can try this code for 15% off. Not sure if it will work - they say it is "unique" for me!

I use the eye pencil in exaggerate in brown, you can do quite good flicks with it still. Fab brown colour I agree.
