MAC Pearlglides from Art Supplies collection

Hola my subbies! Just popping in for a quickie and then it's back to work. *sigh* i'm a slave to the man, just another cog in the machine. How depressing. Why can't I just be born filthy rich like that cunt Paris Hilton? Then i'd have shitloads of money to just gallivant around looking like a slut. I'd take all that delicious money and go to culinary school for the hell of it and then cook delicious goodies all damned day long in a state of the art kitchen in my hugenormous home. Okay, daydreaming over. I've got to give her props though, she markets herself. What would you guys do with money like Paris Hilton?
So I picked up 2 Pearlglide Intense Eye Liners from MAC's Art Supplies collection. There was NOTHING else in that collection that caught my eye. Everything was very "mehh" to me. I've been wanting a good navy blue liner ever since seeing Holly's Fly-By-Blue tutorial (which you can watch: here ) Disclaimer: I ♥ Holly's tutorials. I am in no way trying to be like her as some people have claimed *rolleyes* Hello, Holly is effing hot and knows how to do makeup, DUH. We are all influenced by other people and what not, geez. Anyways!
The two Pearlgides I got were Petrol Blue (reminded me of Fly By Blue) and Designer Purple. They are $14.50 each.

Pros:

• great color payoff
• colors are vibrant, but not too insanely bright for everyday wear (such as to work!)
• the shimmer isn't crazy noticeable until you're up close

Cons:

• have to sharpen them alot, thus using a lot of product to line just ONE eye..and if you go heavy on eyeliner (like me) you'll through this stuff fast.
• can't use this stuff alone, it smudges all over the place (beware asian lids!). i had to use UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) and then line my eyes with MAC Fluid Line in Blacktrack, then go over it with the Pearlglide liner. 

I don't think i'd repurchase/ buy a back up necessarily.. I like it, but ... Yeah. Don't think i'll be using them on a daily basis.

 I really really really liked this one when I swatched it at the MAC counter. 

I know you can't see the shimmer in these photos, sorry :[ 

However - when I actually lined my eyes with it, it didn't stand out that much. It probably would without using MAC Fluidline first, but it smudged all over my damn eyelids. Perhaps this would work better for those with green eyes?

love love love this Petrol Blue. Look at how dull it is! I didn't resharpen after using it this morning.

a few photos of my eyes today.. not really happy with how they turned out, so not really any of my full face.

BLEH.

P.S. Dining at Fleur De Lys tonight ! I'm soooo stoked because us foodies ♥ Chef Hubert Keller. Then i'm going to Pesce on Friday night. Except lots of food pictures within the next couple of entries. I ♥ French food and seafood so very much! Oh, not to mention i'm seeing Alicia Keys and Robin Thicke on saturday. Jealous?
P.P.S. Mystery box coming soon...to you? Perhaps. Maybe, maybe not...

 

Okay.. P.P.P.S I'm bored right now. 

Had my camera during lunch so yeah. My favorite salad of all time! Smoked trout salad from La Boulange. They have multiple locations in San Francisco but the Hayes Valley one is my favorite :]
