| Maybelline Skinny Precise Gel Waterproof Eyeliner $7.99 ish |
Not surprisingly, I have about a million VIB Rouge Beauty Points with Sephora. It's a nice program and if you shop at Sephora, it certainly makes sense to sign of for their generous rewards program.
Often, I just take a pass on whatever is being offered when I checkout; who knows why? The last time I made a purchase, something finally did appeal. Marc Jacobs Ulta Skinny Blacquer Gel Eye Crayon had the teeniest, tiniest tip I'd ever seen. Yes please do give me one of those.
What I loved about using it was the level of control I had. It is nearly impossible for me to line my inner upper and lower lid with a liquid liner, without somehow getting it in my eye. Not. Pretty.
With the use of this tiny pointed pencil, I was able to achieve the "doe eyed" look I covet, handily. The trick is to line both the lid, especially the inner most corner and the upper waterline and then connect it after flaring out beyond the eye, with a full sweep underneath to the inner most corner. Hard to describe, but this should give you the idea:
The problem unfortunately with the Marc Jacobs Eye Crayon, is that it both ran and faded, leaving me with a gloppy mess in the corner of my eye and no liner on my lid.
Oh well. I had never saw a pencil that skinny and didn't think I would again but dreams do come true! There it was front and center with the newest offerings at CVS in the Maybelline section.
