G’mawning, ladies. :) The MAC Art Supplies collection’s been out for a couple of weeks now … which in MAC time’s like an ETERNITY. Have you gotten a chance to play with any of the Greasepaint Sticks from the release?

They’re the chubby, flexible pencils you’ve seen in the promo pics. I love ‘em because they double as shadows AND eyeliners… I have a soft spot for products that multi-task.

For our first blog task here today, I thought we’d start with a giveaway, it being Tuesday and all.

Are you ready?

The prize

One lucky lady will win MAC’s Greasepaint Stick in Zinc Zone, a shimmery gunmetal eye crayon liner that doubles as an eyeshadow (an $18 value).

How to enter…

2ways2enterEntering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post. In it, tell me about an eye product you’ve been loving lately, and share what makes it special.

Lately I’ve been practically sleeping with my MAC Technakohl liners… It’s true lurve! And they’re totally hooked on my waterline, meaning they stay put there all day long, and better still — they don’t even have to be sharpened. How cool is that!?

Follow me
Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:

    I’ve been using Two Face shadow insurance alot lately and I think I’ve fallen in love. I feel like it helps to keep my make up on longer.

  2. Devi says:

    UDPP!! I use it every time I do my eyes. I misplaced it last year and my eye make-up didn’t last more than a few hours. i was overjoyed when I found it again esp. since I was on vacation and couldn’t get my hands on another tube. Love the stuff!

  5. Theallamenta says:

    I do love Rimmel black (or gray) eyeliner… I know it’s not very original, but I love the way you can smoothen it with a brush! :)

  6. Martina says:

    lately i’ve been loving the dolce&gabbana eye pencil in color 1, stromboli.
    it’s a dark grey with golden glitters, i like it becouse it’s dark but not black, and black often makes my eyes look tired and smaller.
    it lighten the eyes with the little golden glitters, and i love the texture as well.

  7. Joanne P says:

    i am loving my new benefit eyeshadow in the shade leggy which makes a great all-over the lid shade. the eyeshadows are sooo smooth and velvety!

  8. mint says:

    I love the BeautyMaker Aqua Eye Concealer I’m using daily now. It’s really light and natural coverage. it blends easily and you only need to use a small amount. Although it won’t cover really dark and huge eye bags but we shouldn’t let our eyes get to that stage! LOL

    I ordered the 88 warm palette last week so I can’t wait to receive it and get my hot little fingers all over the colours.

    mac paint pot in bare study. yes. omg. amazing. :Q

  11. pretty says:

    i love clinique cream shaper for eyes because of its softness and color

  12. Halifax says:

    I like the new Maybelline Eyestudio marbleized shadows, quite pigmented and soft. With a base, they stay well on the lids

  13. stickles says:

    I’ve been into Benefit Skinny Jeans, that color is just awesome.

  14. Jade says:

    I love my Lancome Definicils kohl eyeliner. It’s soft, pigmented and stays on my waterline all day long. I love love love love love it!

  15. Fiona says:

    I’m loving MAC’s Tempting eyeshadow. It’s such a gorgeous golden bronze colour. I can use it all over the lid or even on the crease for some added definition. Even though it’s an lustre, there is such an awesome colour payoff and isn’t too shimmery or glittery.

  16. makeupmagik says:

    I ‘ve been loving the new maybelline eyestudio gel eyeliner in blackest black.I only paid around $6.00! ( on sale) so it is a nice substitude for my usual gel liner at a fraction of the price .

  17. IreneFelton says:

    Karen!

    Wow, it’s been a long time! I hope you still remember me wayyyyy back in the day when I was here a lot more! I hope you have been doing well :) Remember that I emailed you before I went to San Francisco? :) :)

    I hope that the product I’m listing is still an eye product. It’s an eyelash curler that my friend gifted for me while she was in Hong Kong. I didn’t use it for a long time after she gave it to me because 1) it looked cheap 2) it was travel sized, so I really judged it based on its look. However, one day I couldn’t find my normal lash curler and BAM, this thing worked like a miracle!

    It has definitely been the best eyelash curler I’ve ever used. This thing CURLS the hell! Seriously! My lashes are so curled they look full and volumous, it’s really amazing.

    It’s called “Pretesa” …. OK I just did a google search and I found it! Here’s the link if anyone’s interested:

    http://bonjour.hk/en/product_detail.aspx?id=1001873&cat=1100&subcat=1012&sku=KAI109372

    It is quite cheap… it’s around $4 after the conversion, but it’s amazing. These past few months have been very hard on me (school) and sleep definitely > makeup (just for now!), and all I do in the morning is my foundation, curl my lashes, and mascara. Sometimes I don’t even do mascara ’cause this baby curls like no other!

    Hope that helps!! It’s so good to be back, Karen!

    An eyeproduct that is practically glued to my hand and a constant follower in my huge workpants (yeah, hrmm…I carry it around in them even at work) is my Chanel Kohl pencil in Amber. Great for brown eyes, reflects beautifully on the eyes and is not to harsh.
    For work and nightlife.
    Love it.

  19. Azza says:

    Definitely Loreal Super Liner. Its so easy to use and i dont have to tug/pull my lids(i usually do) to apply it.

  20. Apple says:

    I want some eyeshadow primer like the one from Urban Decay. My cream eyeliner keeps smudging, I need something to seal them in place. :)

  21. Ellie says:

    I really like gel liners- I’ve been using pencils and it’s such a nice change! L’oreal’s HIP liner is pretty smooth!

  22. Jane says:

    Its gotta be UD’s 24X7 eyeliner..they rock big time !!

  23. vantalee says:

    I am loving the Volumizing mascara by Mally Roncal! It really makes my lashes so full!

  24. Doni says:

    I have been loving Kevyn Aucoin’s eyeshadow in Fawn. The product is like “budda” – it is so ilky..I just want to spread it on my toast in the morning!! :-) I use it as a blending and/or crease color…the color is sorta the same color as my skin but better!! Love it love it!!

  25. Wendy says:

    i’ve been loving my l’oreal intense liquid eyeliner. i’m totally loving the fact that i can draw uber thin lines on my eyes that i was never able to achieve with gel liners or pencil liners.

  26. Rica says:

    Lately, I have been loving MAC Below Ground Greasepaint Stick. It’s a perfect base for everyday makeup if you apply lightly or evening smoky eyes if you apply more to build up the intensity. I also like to use it as my eyeliner applying with an angle brush, like MAC 266. The best thing about these greasepaint sticks is that, they stay on all day! Love love love =D

    I also retweeted =D

  27. Mandy says:

    UD 24/7 liner in Crash because I’m still super into the plum/eggplant color trend right now.

  28. Izzy says:

    I love Covergirl’s smoky shadow blast. Why? Well, it’s inexpensive, the colors are great, they go on smooth, stay on my lids for long periods of time, and I can wear both colors or either color. It’s awesome!

    -Izzy

  29. Brenda says:

    Mac eyeshadow in “hypnotizing”… finally the perfect colour for me!

  30. Stacey says:

    I am loving my Costal Scents 88 Warm Palette! I use it everyday. It is a great mix of neutral shadows plus some dark ones for sexin it up at night :) and the quality is wonderful – not cheap at all.

  31. Leann says:

    I love using my Almay Black eyeliner. It is gentle on my skin when I need a break from heavier make up.

  32. Corrine says:

    I love, love, love my Urban Decay shadow primer! It works like a charm and even after exercising my eye shadow is still on!

  33. JoannaStrange says:

    Lately I’ve been loving the Diego dalla Palma liquid eyeliner because it is really resistent even after several hours and what can be more hot than cat eyes..meow:)

  34. Rachel says:

    I love MAC Club eyeshadow right now. The mix between a warm brown and green shimmer looks a bit weird, but it’s a one stop shop. I do primer and then layer Club over my entire lid. Then I take a clean blending brush and blend it through the socket. It goes from a darker brown with green shimmer on my lid blended out a warm brown in my socket. Love.
    I hope your Wednesday is going well!

  35. Christina Hellebush says:

    I’ve been wearing my MAC eyeshadow in Gleam it seems like everyday now^_^ its fast and easy and makes my eyes look bright and awake lol. Love it!

  39. Jenna says:

    Benefit Creaseless Cream E/s in Birthday Suit! It’s been my standby eyeshadow for the work week when I can’t get too adventurous with what i wear. I learned about it on this site and I LOVE it. It really does help me look wide-awake, just Karen claimed!

  40. Nicole says:

    I have been loving CoverGirl LashBlast Volume in Very Black lately. It is the best mascara I have used, drugstore or high end. I love what it does to my itty-bitty eyelashes. Poor, poor things. I can’t find anything that tops it.

  41. Kat says:

    I’m really loving Chanel’s new lipsticks!! I have Perle and I adore it. Its the perfect neutral lip for me, and it just feels so nice on.

    yay! I am loving my almay mascara =]

  44. Roxanne says:

    Boy oh boy do I love Mac’s Humid e/s! It’s the perfect colour for my crease matched with a soft gold eyeshadow!

  45. Jean says:

    I purchased a MAC Paint Pot in Groundwork after you spotlighted it in an article a month or 2 ago. I love it because I can use it alone using my fingers, add eyeliner and my eye look is done. Easy peasy! Love it as a base for when I want a brown smokey eye look too.

  46. Chrissie says:

    right now I can’t get enough of Benefit’s Creaseless Cream eyeshadow/liners! They are SOO versatile – and excel in all aspects; they are amazing as eyeshadow bases (especially tattletale); intense of eyeliners (loving strut) and awesome as a simple but gorgeous all over colour lid for those lazy days (I’m lookin’ at you, Birthday Suit!)

  47. singrsling says:

    I like VS gel eye liner in black – so easy to use on the top layer. and on the bottom lash line, I love UD 24/7 in Ransom.

  48. Hayley says:

    I’ve been loving Lash Blast waterproof mascara, I’ve discovered that waterproof mascara is the key to getting my straight lashes to hold a curl.

  49. Makeup Diary says:

    I’ve been loving Inglot Magnalash lately. It makes my lashes look longer and fuller.
    .-= Makeup Diary’s last blog post… Bioderma Sensibio H2O =-.

  50. Petra says:

    I’ve been switching up my eyeliners lately – grabbing for more gel eyeliners (Bobbi Brown Forest and Ivy Shimmer), and also still loving my pearlglide eyeliner in Molasses (deep brown with gold flecks) instead of black. It’s just a better fit for the softer looks i’ve been wearing lately (I say it’s because of Spring, but actually, I just have less time to get ready in the morning. :) )
    Waiting for the new pearlglides to hit counters here in a few weeks. :D

  51. Sarah says:

    I have been loving MAC’s painterlily paint pot. It makes for a great base, and a super fast neutral eye. I just throw some taupe in the crease and I’m set.

  53. Chrissy says:

    Lately I have been all over this pretty metallic light gold mineral eyeshadow I have that I’ve been sticking in the inner “V” corner of my eyes and on my brow bone. It totally brightens up my face without it appearing like I have any makeup on! Top it off with a bit of brown liner and brown mascara and *BAM* I’m good to go!

  54. Vanessa S says:

    I like the Mally liquid eyeliner because it lasts all day long.

  55. Anastasia says:

    I’m so in love with all of the greasesticks that I was distraught that MAC came out with so many at once! Styleblack got me hooked, and it’s been a love affair ever since LOL

  56. Nat says:

    A discontinued liner called antiquity (from MAC) I can’t even see the colour difference on my eyes but on the waterline WHAM! It’s like my eyes grew ten times.

  57. Janine says:

    I’ve really been loving UDPP! I’ve used at least 6 other “great” primers and none have done was UDPP does for my eyeshadow! I’ve also been loving my blacktrack for my waterline :)

    I have been love love LOVING Chanel’s Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Tigre – it’s a sexy pink-brown colour that looks ridiculously sexy layered over a light smoky brown eye – my boyfriend said I looked like a wood nymph – probably the most descriptive compliment I’ve ever been given! This eyeshadow is a new daytime AND nightime staple of mine!!

  73. Naun says:

    i just recently got Mac’s club eyeshadow. I do not know how i ever lived without this magical shadow! i use it all over the lid (after painterly paint pot) and into my crease — and club being the gorgeous duochrome it is, i only need the one shadow for a nice polished look yay !
