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…
Entering 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!?

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.
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!
Technakohl for the win

I loveeeeee covergirl’s lash blast volume mascara. its the only thing that will keep my asian lashes curled and beautiful all day longgg <3
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!
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.
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!
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
.-= mint’s last blog post… Chocolate and Easter. =-.
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
i love clinique cream shaper for eyes because of its softness and color
I like the new Maybelline Eyestudio marbleized shadows, quite pigmented and soft. With a base, they stay well on the lids
I’ve been into Benefit Skinny Jeans, that color is just awesome.
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!
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.
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 .
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.
Definitely Loreal Super Liner. Its so easy to use and i dont have to tug/pull my lids(i usually do) to apply it.
I want some eyeshadow primer like the one from Urban Decay. My cream eyeliner keeps smudging, I need something to seal them in place.
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!
Its gotta be UD’s 24X7 eyeliner..they rock big time !!
I am loving the Volumizing mascara by Mally Roncal! It really makes my lashes so full!
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!!
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.
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
.-= Rica’s last blog post… WLC week 4 wrap up =-.
UD 24/7 liner in Crash because I’m still super into the plum/eggplant color trend right now.
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!

Mac eyeshadow in “hypnotizing”… finally the perfect colour for me!
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.
I love using my Almay Black eyeliner. It is gentle on my skin when I need a break from heavier make up.
I love, love, love my Urban Decay shadow primer! It works like a charm and even after exercising my eye shadow is still on!
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:)
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!
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!
I love my blacktrack fluidline, it is the best gel liner ever
I love revlon cream eyeshadow! So easy and pretty!
laura mercier metallic cream shadows. the most seductive sort of cream shadow ive ever found. great for a going out look
.-= knownever’s last blog post… It’s the time of year…for a no-buy! =-.
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!
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.
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.
I love my grease paint stick in “Dirty.” It was my first MAC purchase and I love it!!!!
yay! I am loving my almay mascara =]
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!
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.
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!)
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.
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.
I’ve been loving Inglot Magnalash lately. It makes my lashes look longer and fuller.
.-= Makeup Diary’s last blog post… Bioderma Sensibio H2O =-.
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.
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.
Such a great giveaway! Hope I win!

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!
I like the Mally liquid eyeliner because it lasts all day long.
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
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.
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
.-= Janine’s last blog post… Poppin bottles @ Jojo’s + Paintball Success =-.
I really love the grease paint stick! I LOVE the color dirty with a combination of tempting eyeshadow! I would love to have zinc zone in my collection!
I am so in love with the Urban Decay Primer Potion right now! I know I’m late but, i just got around to purchasing some and it works so beautifully!!
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!!
I love shu uemera’s eyelash curler, it makes my super straight lashes curl without ripping my lashes out. Now I can bat my lashes at that boy in my dream.
I’ve been using all kine of eye shadows from mineral powders to MAC eye shadows. I like minerals and sparkling ones.
i just tried ardell falsies…let me tell you, they make a HUGE difference on my puny eyelashes. i love how natural they look too!
I’ve been loving MAC’s Deckchair pigment. I had forgotten how awesome it is especially as a light wash on those days when you are running late & want a fast eye look.
.-= Marisol’s last blog post… Europe here I come! =-.
I love pairing MAC Birds and Berries eyeshadow with a gold eyeshadow (I’ve been using the gold from the Urban Decay Alice Palette).
I can’t live without Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara! it just holds the curl like no other, giving me doll lashes !
I have been loving ELF eye shadows lately. It is great and the pigmentation is great too. Especially for that price

I love my MAC fluidline in Blue peep! such a great bright spring color for my lower lashline!
I have been loving my new coral finds from my CCO. I am diggin’ Blow Dry and Lollipop Loving!
I love my UD 24/7 liners! I love the range of colors and their staying power
oh and my Lancome Definicils mascara!
Well, I’ve been using Maybelline’s Full n Soft mascara, and I love it. Don’t need the dramatics since I’m wearing false lashes, but the mascara does really make the lashes super soft. I hate hard pointy waxy lashes…
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 !
I’ve been loving L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara. It makes my lashes look SEXY!
my sonia k bent eyeliner brush – i think you know why its so special
i bought it from your reccomendation.
I’ve been loving UD’s Bourbon eyeliner and Mythology eyeshadow. I bought Mythology months ago but it sat untouched until a few weeks ago. I’m sad I didn’t realize it was such a pretty color earlier!
