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:

  1. I’d love to try the greasepaint stick!

    Lately, I’m ALWAYS using the darkest color in Maybelline EyeStudio Duo in Grey Couture (not sure if you have it in the States). It’s just love! <3

  2. I love love Bare Escentuals Mineral liners! You can use it as a shadow, mix it with water, primer, or sealant for different looks!

  3. An eyeproduct I really rave about is the max factor “Glide & Define” liquid eyeliner. It is perfect for me. I wear it in “Smoke” and usually I take 5 minuts to do my eyes with a different product. But this one make me do it in 2 minuts!!! And the coulour pay-off is perfect. It stays put through out the day and doesn’t run, like the other drugstore brands.

  4. Lately, I’ve been loving MUFE Smoky Lash!

    I keep re-buying it whenever I run out, but then give into my mascara boredom and buy something new.

    I always go back to Smokey Lash because I remember how AMAZING it is!

  5. Eversince I first discovered the UD24x7 Liners, they have been my go-to liner!!! They literally last all day, and ive discovered they are immune to tears as well. Pure love!

  6. I’m a creature of habit, meaning black and brown liners were all that I would wear but lately I have been loving COLORS! Mainly my Designer Purple pearlglide eyeliner. It’s so easy to use and I get compliments from my husband when I use it. That’s HUGE since he never compliments me on my makeup! I love the ease of the pencil and the color is great!

  7. I’ve been absolutely loving my Lancome Artliner in Smoke. I’ve had this guy chilling in my makeup organizer for awhile and I just randomly got him out once and fell in love again. I’m incapable of using any other liquid liner, this one is just so easy to control. Plus the color is great, which is always a bonus.

  9. I love my old faithful MAC blacktrack fluidline. It is a true black, great for a cat eye and super easy to apply with an angled brush.

    Reply

  10. i’ve been loving using my Prescriptives kohl because it’s so pigmented that I can apply it in one swipe!

  11. I love MAC eyeshadow in cork along with paint pot in bare study. Its my two minute eye that still looks polished, perfect for going to class and still looking nice. Thanks for the giveaway! I hope you’re having a good day:)

  12. Bare Escentuals Buxom Lashliner in Leatherette (black). It states that it conditions the lashes for grow and whatever else (blahblah) and I think it’s made my eyelashes look a bit thicker! Hmm!!

  15. I love the Nars duo in Alhambra… More specifically, the shimmery peach-y side! It is my go-to brow highlight and I’ve hit pan on it! Hehe I have been loving it for awhile now, but that hasn’t changed 🙂

  21. Hi Karen,

    This is my first time posting on your site! Long time reader, first time poster! Right now, I absolutely love DiorShow Blackout Waterproof mascara. I love how it doesn’t budge and is oh so inky black!

    Reply

  23. I’m kinda digging the benefit creaseless shadows!
    I think I might just splurge on a couple during the sephora sale 🙂

    Reply

  24. I will forever be in love with my L’Oreal HIP creme liner in black. Doesn’t matter what shades of eyeshadow I use – this liner goes on my upper lashline without fail, applied with my MAC angled liner brush.

    Reply

  25. I love my la mer eye cream, it is soothing right after i clean my eye makeup and makes my eye area moisturized and plump

    Reply

  26. I’m jumping on the bandwagon for UD 24/7 liners! These babies just DO NOT BUDGE – my faves are Bourbon and Stash (by fave I mean I have more than 1 each!)! My go-to look is to use either color top and bottom along lashes – but then on my waterline I use a Sephora waterproof black liner pencil – both combos make my eyes look SO green!

  29. I have been LOVING Panterly paint pot by mac. I find it to be a great base for my skin and it also gives the shadow a brighter nicer look.

  32. I am in love with my MAC paint pot. I swear it would stay where I put it for 3 straight days and no other products stays that long for me!

  33. I’ve been in love with my new HG mascara, Clinique Lash doubling. It works even better with the Clinique Primer beneath it. Gives me lashes like CRAZY!

  35. The Tokidoki e/s palettes because they are absolutely outrageously cute annnd my bff bought me my first one for my birthday 🙂

    Reply

  36. I picked up the MAC Art Supplies Greasepaint Stick in Uniformly Blue and I LOVE it! It is so versatile. (I’m quite pale and have hazel eyes, so black liner can seem harsh – especially for a daytime look or at the office.)

    I’ve been using it under a golden-olive mineral eyeshadow called Pussycat from Bare Minerals and it gives so much depth & drama to the color.

  38. I love my Stila Eye Kajal in onyx. It is so soft and creamy, and i’m obsessed with lining the top and bottom of my waterline, so it is perfect!!!

    Reply

  39. I am adoring MAC Rubenesque Paint Pot because it’s the perfect shade to layer for a bronzy, peachy look for summer time!

  41. I’m lovin’ me some Laura Mercier Secret Concealer these days. I have some not-so-dark circles and this mixed with some Smashbox Illuminizing Lotion gives me a awake and flawless look!

    Reply

  43. I am currently in love with my brand new Tokidoki eyeshadow quad. Picked it up this weekend and am in love! I got the Bastardino box, (the one with the pup cellphone charm). The colors are perfect and OMG the packaging is just too much. Even though i’ve had it for a few days I’m still storing it in the original packaging cause I’d hate to say goodbye to that. One of the sales reps told me that rumor has it Tokidoki will be doing signings at various sephora’s so be on the lookout for that!

  46. Lately I’m loving UDPP in Sin, it’s a great primer but what really makes it special (for me at least) is that it’s great on its own as a shimmery wash, so quick and easy!

    Reply

  47. Llately I’ve been wearing a more neutral/brown face. As a result I’ve fallen back in love with old school goldmine eye shadow. If I want to dress it up a bit I use a bit of embark in the crease. That and lots of black mascara/liner and lust lipglass wi th just a tiny bit of gold deposit to wake up the cheeks

    Reply

  49. I’ve been loving my Dirty greasepaint recently as it makes a great all over colour plus you can use it as a base 🙂

  50. i am loving mac fascinating eye pencil! i use it as a base for my ELF eyeshadows and other shadows to lighten them up a bit and let the true colors pop!

    Reply

  51. I’ve been loving Clinique’s Strawberry Fudge eyeshadow duo. Its got this gorgeous metallic sheen to it, and the colors are fantastic on my shade of tan skin. A strawberry pink with hints of brown, and then a coppery rose. Perfect colors for feeling bronzed and summery!

    Reply

  52. I’ve really been enjoying my MAC Pearlglide liner in Almost Noir. The plummy shade really brings out the green in my hazel eyes!

  55. I have makeup ADD, constantly changing looks and loves. my two consistent “loves” are Too Faced shadow insurance and tarte mascaras! neither new or exciting, but vital steps!!!

  56. Lately I’ve been hooked on my Too Faced Glamazon eye shadow and Cargo LashActivator (I wear it as an eyelash primer) really think my eye lashes are a bit longer cos of it 😛

  57. I am in LOVE with my TECHNAKOHL LINER From M.A.C It never smudges and always makes my eyes looks fierce! i can always create a perfect cat eye with this product!! =]

  59. I love L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara. It’s the perfect color of black, it doesn’t flake, and it makes my lashes look great. And it’s fairly cheap, too!

    Reply

  60. I’m going to have to go with my Clinique Brow Keeper. I’m letting my eyebrows grow in a bit so if I didn’t use this pencil religiously the strays would be unbearable. Plus, my brows would look like they had the mange. Isn’t it funny that stray eyebrow hair seems to pop up overnight when you don’t want it, but when you actually do want those little guys to grow, it takes a month? 🙂

    Reply

  61. Eyeliners are the one beauty item that I always use up (unlike, say, lipstick or nail polish!). I’ve been loving Smashbox’s pencil eyeliner because it’s so smudgeable and pigmented. The problem with it is that it’s a little too smudgeable, so I set it with LORAC Pro liquid liner, which I also love because it’s one of those felt tips where the liquid just comes out from the pen-like apparatus without dipping in anything. MAC may give Smashbox a run for its money though. Would love to try these!

  65. lately i have been loving my new 224 brush from MAC! It’s pure heaven for blending…i don’t know how i lived without it!! 🙂

    Reply

  66. I don’t know how I wore eyeshadow before I discovered MAC’s paint pot in “painterly.” It’s a great base and keeps my eyeshadow from creasing! Although, I’ve had the pot about 6 months now and it looks like it’s drying out around the edges 🙁

    Reply

  67. Lately, I’ve been loving Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit, topped with Sunnydaze pigment and Satin Taupe in the crease. I line my upper and lower lashlines and my waterline with Blacktrack, then mascara and I’m good to go!
    It’s polished, but easy and neutral. I love it!

  73. I looooove my bough grey fm the liberty of london line!!! Is perfect for a natural smokey eye when paired with some mascara and maybe a lick of eyeliner. Translates well on my asian skin and can also be used in the crease!

  74. I have been loving my MAC 219 brush. It makes my small crease easy to find, and it makes all of the shadows I use with it look amazing and professional!!

  75. I love Covergirl LashBlast Mascara which I’ve just recently discovered. To me it’s special because I don’t get “spider legs”, but nice lashes – and I love it. 🙂

  78. Lately MAC’s Mystery shadow, applied with a small angled brush, is my go-to eyeliner when I want a soft, work-friendly look. It’s the perfect plummy brown for my fair skin and blue-green eyes.

  82. One product I am loving is MAC’s Studio Fix Lash mascara. I absolutely love it because it doesn’t make your lashes stiff. You can use one coat for a natural looking eyelashes or 2-3 coats for a thickening, false lash effect.

  83. I am loving MUFE aqua eyes eyeliner, it’s better than the urban decay, currently rocking the OL it’s loooooooooove

  84. I’ve been loving Rimmel’s Sexy Curves Mascara. It holds the curl in my eyelashes and it’s just perfectly wonderful!

  86. I have been using aqua eyes in black , waterproof eyeliner. it works well, and doesnt sweat off….i love it in turquoise too! Thanks for another fab contest. z

    Reply

  87. Have you ever tried Aveda’s Petal Essence Eye Definers? They’re creamy and amazing for smudging and blending (great for smokey eyes), but if you throw a bit of shadow on them, they won’t move or crease. I’m partial to Wild Indigo right now because I think navy blue is a nice change from black for spring.

  89. MAC’s Powersurge Eye Kohl <3 ! I have been wearing it on my lower waterline for a month now. It goes with cold and warm colors; especially if you have hazel/brown eyes. It gives definition and a little shine without being too much for the office. STRONGLY recommended ladies!

    Reply

  96. I’m complimented most on my Milani Color Brillance eye pencil in green. At only $5, the quality of color and ease of application is actually much better than many more expensive brands. Of course I had to go back and buy every one that was left!

  100. Eye products… I’d have to go with eye drops. =) Rohto, the kind that feel like peppermint on your eyeballs. I haven’t been sleeping much and this makes me look less like a vampire =P

  105. I just re-discovered my Shimmersand Shadestick, I love using it as a base for shadow on my bottom lashes as liner instead of putting eyeliner on my waterline, it makes a nice smoky and non harsh look, I love it <3

  106. Latley I have been loving Urban Decay’s Gunmetal Eyeliner. It makes my blue eyes pop, and it has these adorable little silver flecks. It lights up my eyes and slicks on, leaving a smooth film of silver.

    Reply

  107. Lately I’ve been loving the CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast in Bronze Fire. It is so easy to use and it brings out the blue of my eyes. Love it!

    Reply

  109. I’ve been loving my El Cheapo drugstore find, the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Iced Mocha. I am lazy as can be when it comes to applying makeup and this pencil doubles as shadow on the top lid and liner on the bottom….doesn’t get much quicker than that. In addition to the convenience factor, my brown eyes look harsh if I put super dark liner on them. This creates a wonderful, light smoky eye that doesn’t make me look like an old-fart version of hussy-face Gossip Girl tart Taylor Momsen.

    Reply

  110. I recently came across a tart eyeliner that is SUPER tiny-thin.
    It has been wonderful for tight-lining. It gets right in between my lashes to give them a lusher look and makes the line around my eyes incredibly thin and natural-looking even though its black!
    Awesome.

  111. For the past month I’ve been using MAC fluidline in Blacktrack in a combination with a white khol. I like the way the white opens my eyes and how the liner defines the shape of my eyes. I really like how the fluidline smoothly and evenly looks, how easy it applyes and how long it lasts.

    Reply

  112. I love the new LashBlast fusion! Surprisingly, it really does do length and volume, though perhaps a little more length than volume than I expected but I love it!

  113. I can’t live a day wihtout my Benefit Eye Bright! be gone dark circles and welcome waking eyes! Easy to use and so practical!

    Reply

  116. Lately I’ve been CRAZY about MAC’s fluidline gel in Blitz & Glitz and Blacktrack. I love how easy it was to apply, the length that it stays (I washed my face by accident once, and most of the liner was still there afterward!) I use the Blitz & Glitz mainly for the lower lash line, whereas Blacktrack really brings out my eyes when applied on my upper lash line.

    Reply

  119. I am loving Benefit’s Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in Birthday Suit. It is so easy. I use it as my lid color; then for my crease, I use MAC’s Cork. Very simple and neutral. Love it.

  123. I have been loving Urban Decay eyeshadow in “Sin.” I’ve been looking for the perfect champagne, neutral-y color for awhile…and FINALLY found it in Sin! It’s what I was hoping Mac’s All That Glitters would be, only that one turns up gold on my lids. Sin is the perfect champagne with minimal shimmer, perfect for daytime when I’m in school…in fact I’m wearing it right now, and I just got back from class 🙂

    I’ve never tried a Greasepaint, but that color looks beautiful.

  125. Right now I am love love loving my Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Electric. It’s a great bright blue that I use on my bottom water line with a nuetral eye. It’s a great pop of color for the summer months.

    its awesome.

  131. I’m loving my ecotools brush kit – the brushes are so soft, and the slanted eyeliner brush is great for using dark eyeshadows as liner. I’m also loving my Maybelline Colossal mascara. Two things I probably use every day.

    Loving this site Karen especially how often you update it!

  144. I have been LOVING my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on in Mildew.

    Rockstar is dark enough to replace the dark eyeliner, but the eggplant color totally brings out the brown in my eyes! Sooo loving it!

  162. i didn’t think i’d like this product cuz i’m very faithful to bobbi brown’s gel liner, but i’ve been loving the new maybelline gel liner in eggplant. it actually stays all day on my oily lids!!! nearly half the price as bb. AWESOME!

  171. Got one of of the tarte emphaEYES Natural High Definition inner rim eye pencils from Sephora (it was part my VIB bonus) I LOVE this pencil, it’s super skinny, so it’s really easy to use and it really lasts and lasts on my water line. My contact enhanced eyes usually just weep everything off my waterline, but this just wears like iron.

Paired with a little Zoom Flash mascara and I’ve got a nice, bold eye. I’ve also been using the Gilded pencil from Benefit (hard to find but part of a collection right now). I don’t normally like gold tones with my complexion, but this one works!

  190. I love the new NYX single eyeshadows, they are super cheap and work great, the color stays on even after I get done running!

    I mean seriously, who can go out and buy huge amounts of MAC make up when it’s so expensive?

  193. Currently obsessed with my Estee Lauder Double Wear pencil in Bronze. I apply it to the outer 1/3 of my lids then blend, and to my waterline. It adds a nice warm sparkly touch to my eyes – just in time for spring and perfect for summer. It glides on smoothly (no tugging!) making it very easy to blend.

  194. I have been loving the Bobbi Brown neutral palette lately. Since I’m not a makeup expert I’d like to keep things simple, at most times, and it takes zero effort to work with this palette. It’s fast and quick, plus it has some pretty colors that I really like!

  195. I’ve been hooked on the Stila paint pots, particularly Kitten (<3) as a base color, cause it doubles as a FANTASTIC primer. I'd love to stick my Too Faced shadow insurance on, but I only have a little left, and Kitten stepped right up to the sparkly plate!

  214. Lately, I’m loving Revlon Cream Shadows in Not Just Nudes. The matte shades function similar to how I imagine MAC paint pots would, and are a lot better behaving when it comes to creasing compared to the shimmery shades.

  216. I’m not a big Lorac fan but about a week ago, I ran out of mascara and the only mascara I could find in my apartment was Lorac Black mascara. How it got there, I know not. But since leaving the house WITHOUT mascara was not an option, I decided to use it. Oh my Gawd…..This is the best mascara I’ve ever used. It’s the blackest black, one side is a brush and a quick 180 degree flick of the wrist and it’s a comb, separating the lashes making sure each and every one is fully covered. This mascara adds volume and length, widening the eyes like you wouldn’t believe. It worked so well that I had to spend the full hour with my best friend trying to convince her that I didn’t sneak behind her back and have some “work” done. This is one mascara you MUST try!!!!!Oh, and did I mention it comes in a gorgeous Ocean/Navy Blue too?

  221. I really love trying different colored bases and liners so here’s what I’ve been loving lately! For bases I’ve been reaching for MAC’s rubenesque paint pot and Urban Decay primer potion in Sin a lot. They both work very well under warm colors (which is coming back since summer will be here soon!) and give gorgeous effects to my shadows no matter what I’m using. For liner, I like Urban Decay’s Bourbon, my Avon glimmersticks I just bought, and a gel liner from coastal scents called “exotic.” I also just purchased tarte’s “lights camera splashes” and I’m excited to try it!

  226. MAC Kelly Green. It’s a gorgeous tropical shade - like having Tahitian water dance across your eyelids. Good for all eye colours and sure to attract an admirer or two.

  228. Quo 803 lashes (available at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada). I have the shortest, stumpiest lashes so I have grown addicted to fake lashes – these ones are full and frame my eyes nicely without looking too fake. I often have people come up to me saying “OMG, your lashes are GINORMOUS! What mascara do you use?” And then they have to do a double, triple, quadruple take when I tell them they are fake! 🙂

  238. RIMMEL EXAGGERATE EYELINERS IN PRECIOUS GOLD!!!! i use them under my eyes to brighten them up (i’m a light golden color, so white highlighters look SCARY on me!)

    the gold color really catches the light subtly, AND they make a fantastic regular eyeliner too (and in a pinch, works great on the lids too! fantastic to have for impromptu happy-hour makeup!)

  240. Lately, I like my 40 Carrots eye gel. I’ve been staying up late, so I’ve been using this eye gel to relieve the puffiness around my eyes. I haven’t used it long enough to know if my dark circles have faded, but I enjoy the feeling of putting it on my tired eyes =).

  267. 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!
