Stacie vs. the liquid eyeliner

While purchasing some replacement eyeshadows at my favorite make-up kiosk, MAC, I decided to try

LIQUID EYELINER!!!

This daring trial period was sparked by MACs very easy looking eyeliner stick.

It looks just like a fancy pen... easy, right?

WRONG!

My first attempt just looked like I took a Sharpie to my top lid. I didn't even get close to the lash line. It was a big disaster that ended with me, a Q-tip, and some Mary Kay eye make up remover spending time together. Luckily, I had tested out my new fangled product at night right before bed.

Yay! Wash my face and forget this ever happened.

The next attempt wasn't much different. I was able to get it closer to the lash line, but then I accidently smeared it in the corner of one eye. Getting better - sort of.

This latest attempt wasn't too bad. If I smudge the eyeliner, it looks like I meant to do it that way. Progress, right?



My goal in 2011... to be able to apply a straight line of liquid eyeliner.

Stay tuned...

Mac Snob and the Slashy

A while ago I purchased a new MacBook. As an avid PC user at school, work and home I’m not as familiar with the Mac. I’ve periodically worked with a Mac when acting as layout editor for The Globe Newspaper at SLCC and now at the U of U with Final Cut Pro. But when I realized that the Mac was superior and it was also on sale at the U bookstore with a free iPod Touch (see Jen-Knee’s blog for the whereabouts of the iTouch) and printer, I couldn’t pass it up.

I converted.

And my MacSnobbery escalated as I already have an iPod Mini and an iPhone.


After my purchase I began to fear my new MacBook would get lonely or injured (as it was no longer protected by white Styrofoam and classy Mac cardboard packaging).

This led me to my Mac’s new friend and protector… The Slashy.

In other circles the Slashy is referred to as a laptop bag. But from the beginning my newly purchased laptop bag quickly became my purse/school bag/laptop case. Thus the name Slashy. Some might not understand my MacSnoberry and the awesomest Mac protector, The Slashy. But I will forgive them their trespasses and turn the other cheek as I watch the "Terminator Salvation" trailer on YouTube using my ultra cool new accessory.
