Pink power! Here’s what ya get when you pair MAC Prolongwear Lip Pencil in Shock Value with MAC’s new Cremesheen Glass in Playful Petal.
Kind of sci-fi up close, isn’t it? Me likey a lot.
P.S. Guess who’s about to make a protein pancake for dinner. 🙂
I know it might sound gross, but it’s totally not. They’re actually very good, and good for you, too (except for the maple syrup, but I’ll use honey instead this time).
I just use a scoop of this protein powder instead of flower to make the batter, add an egg, and mix in some flax seed, almond milk, cinnamon, half a smooshed banana, and that’s it. Makes one big pancake (or two small ones). Super easy.

You look so cute, Karen! This is a fun Spring look! 🙂
Nicole says
YSL’s gloss volupte shade 49 is a close match to MAC’s playful petal.
Love your photos! What are you using for lighting and/or flash?
Sarah says
Karen – I definitely need a few tip on taking such gorgeous close-ups!

I agree super sci-fi close up but super natural from afar! If I wore that combo, I’d be spending to much time in a mirror.
Sylirael says
Seriously, Karen – those close-ups!! I am super envious of your mad photography skills 😀

This colour is very fun and would look great in the spring and summer for a bright lip duo! I love the sparkles in it reflect almost like a purple colour. I think a protein pancake sounds pretty delicious ;D

Once again I bought what you suggested! Can’t wait to get Riri red & springy pink looks. Speaking of perfect pinks I hope Pink Poodle was chosen for a return appearance! I’ve been wearing & loving it for years 😀
Amber says
You look great in that pic Karen! I love the lipgloss! Bright pink with a hint of blue is so pretty! I have a few nail polish shades that are pink with a blue shift, and LOVE them.
Niki says
The shade from these two products is beautiful!!! I love it! And I personally think a protein pancake sounds pretty good! 🙂
buckycatt says
I purchased these products after your suggestion & they are awesome for spring. Look slightly lighter in my fair skin. I have a lip pic if u wanna see 😉
