I started using liquid eyeliner about six years ago because I didn’t think I could get a clean, gorgeous line with a kohl pencil. But I rediscovered pencils a couple of weeks ago, when I tried a MAC Eye Kohl pencil. I’ve ditched my liquid liners..
Mac Prunella Eye Pencil
Price: $14.50 at maccosmetics.com
I’ve got green eyes, so I chose Prunella, a deep, rich violet, and Teddy, a simmering, smokey brown, but there are a total of eleven different shades to choose from, including Blooz (cobalt blue), Phone Number (grey), Minted (green), and Rosemary & Thyme (a goldy-brown). Who comes up with the names for these colors? They’re all gorgeous, rich, and oh-so-easy to use! They glide on beautifully, with no lumps or unwanted smudging. And they’re long, not some stubby CoverGirl eye pencil you’ll have to replace in a month. The colors really pop, but wash away easily with warm water and a soft washcloth. I just sketch a quick, soft line on my upper lid as close to my lash-line as I can, working from the inside out, and add a dash of brown/black mascara, and my eyes are done! I wear the Eye Kohl all day, and amazingly, it doesn’t soak it, smear, smudge, or flake away. I haven’t needed a mid-afternoon touch-up, not even once! If you’re in the market for a new eyeliner pencil, choose your favorite color from the MAC Eye Kohl line-up and give it a go!
“You can do it. Yeah, champ, keep moving that blending brush. You got this… YOU CAN WEAR COLOR! COME ONNNNNNN!”
Yes, these days, my internal makeup dialogue sounds like a boxing trainer talking sh*t from the sidelines.
(Not that I’ve ever boxed a day in my life… The closest I’ve ever come to a ring is watching Million Dollar Baby. Like Tabs was (RIP, buddy), I’m a lover, not a fighter.)
Put this in your “note to self” file next time you get tired of wearing brows and beiges and the usual neutral fare: pink, plum and bronze. It’s so good, and depending on the intensity of your shades, can be surprisingly colorful but still wearable, too.
I’m wearing the same Jane Iredale Naturally Glam Palette from the other day; I blended the dark bronze and the pink shades atop a plum eyeshadow base (MAC Prunella liner, which I buffed out all over my lids).
You guys, don’t sleep on this palette. It’s not flashy by any means, but the more I use it, the more I fall in love with it, especially the glowing finish. It’s SO forgiving, and much appreciated by my experience lines.
The pink in this look also comes through on the cheeks via a peachy pink gel blush by Chantecaille (pricy but natural looking) and a pinkish violet lip from an Origins Lipstick called Va Va Violet.
This lippie is not playin’ because the payoff is crazy intense — like MAC level intense! Here I’m wearing it lightly dabbed on my lips for a stained effect, but it still looks pretty pigmented. I love how this lipstick’s pinkish violet tones complement the subtle pink and purple on my lids.
Note to self: REMEMBER THIS COMBO! It’s a good one!

Hanging with my lady love
Connor is home this week for spring break, so we’ve been hanging out a lot! Our new favorite thing to do in the morning is watch the live Otter Cam at the Monterey Bay Aquarium while we eat breakfast. I don’t know why, but drinking coffee and watching otters play and swim is the best thing ever.
We’re headed to DSW in a few because this child just keeps growing! I swear I just got her a pair of Nikes, and now they barely fit.
I’m also in the pursuit of a pair of low-heeled platform sandals, ideally in a tan shade.
I’ve decided it’s time to officially retire my collection of heels, which is a little bittersweet because I used to love them so much. I tried wearing a pair of Franco Sarto wedges the other day (they used to be my “comfortable heels”), and I realized — OH, HELL NO! — there’s just no way. LOL! First of all, I can’t chase after a child in them, and second, they’re super hard to drive in. Also, I can’t bend down! I’m done, dude. No more.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Mac Prunella Eye Pencil
