New vs old Cream Liner formula + cleaning

[meadowbird]

I have Mahogany which I purchased about a year ago which has never really had much love until very recently. I thought I read somewhere that the cream liners had been reformulated? If so, what's the difference? I'm very curious about the liner palette.

Also, I'm having trouble removing the liner residue from my brush. What do you ladies use?

They did get reformulated because an ingredient was discontinued. The newer version feels about the same on the brush, and performs maybe even a bit better than the old version, but it's vegan and soy-free.

I use a little apricot cleansing oil on the brush, and that takes care of it.

Thanks Karen! They sound great! I really like that the new formula is vegan. I can't imagine them performing much better - I went hiking and swimming last weekend wearing the cream liner (nothing wrong with a bit of glamercise! ) and it didn't fade, smudge, rub off or move at all really, and I didn't "fix" it with anything.

I don't have the apricot cleansing oil. I've been using a cleanser from Alba Botanica but I'm unsure about some of the ingredients in it. Would you recommend the ACL for combination skin? My skin is mostly normal, sometimes dry on the cheeks, tendency to get a little oily in the t-zone and get monthly small breakouts.
