It just goes to show ya that it never hurts to give a product a second chance, because I did not care for the $23 MAC Kajal Crayons when they first launched in Diane Kendal, but I’m all about this new batch. I don’t know if MAC tweaked the formula, or if I’m just remembering things differently, but I think these are SO good — especially if you’re a smoky-eye-’til-I-die person like I am.
Basically, these are chubby liners/eyeshadows that adhere to water lines AND skin. You’re supposed to plop them on, then blow out the edges (a.k.a “smoke it the eff out”) using your fingers or a brush.
I like using the MAC 217 with them because I think I can feather out the edges more quickly with it than I can with a fluffier brush like the 224.

Mac Smolder Eye Kohl: Review and Swatches. By contributor: Swati Reddy. Here is a little story behind this smokey kajal. Me: Mama, can you give me a thousand rupee note? Need to get a smudge proof kohl for daily use. You want to spend a thousand bucks on a kajal and that too for daily use?
By the way, I softened the transition along the edge in this pic with Soft Brown and Saddle.
Creamy pencils like these usually have a limited — I guess you could call it “shelf life” on your lids and water lines because of how easily they move. And the creamier they are, the more they move.
You can smudge these Kajal Crayons and smoke them out as much as you want, but once they’ve set, they stay put.
I mean, you don’t have all day long to make tight and tiny circles with your 217, but you get about five minutes, and for a messy, smoky eye using a single color, that’s usually enough time.
Another thing: You can layer these as much as you want to because they don’t go patchy.

Have I mentioned that these are great? ?
Unfortch, they’re sold out on the MAC website, but your local counter might still have them.
Also, I can totally vouch for the blue one, the copper one, the purple and the dark brown.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. So much for pacing myself
I still liked the book enough to want to keep going in the series, though, so I started the second book, China Rich Girlfriend, last night.
So, setting a maximum daily chapter limit isn’t working for me…
Also, is anyone else watching the new season of the The Voice? El Hub and I like to watch the blind auditions and the battle rounds, and then once the audience voting starts we basically stop watching the show, which I acknowledge seems weird…but every person I’ve ever thought would make it after the battle rounds never does. Can i buy mac os. It seems to me like “the audience” always wants the same types of singers to win, so I don’t even watch that part of the show anymore… I still love all the stuff that leads up to it, though!
—-> I loved this performance by Kirk Jay. I’ve watched it at least five seven times.
I’d never heard this song before last night, but I love the imagery and the language. Plus, Kirk puts so much emotion into his performance. I hope he gets far.

Here is a little story behind this smokey kajal.
Me: Mama, can you give me a thousand rupee note? Need to get a smudge proof kohl for daily use.Mom: Whaaaaat? You want to spend a thousand bucks on a kajal and that too for daily use? How dare you?!Me: *looking at her owl like eyes* Awww, have I asked something wrong? Why should I dare to get a kajal?! *confused*Mom : Too much of speech is not gonna help you. Go prepare for your board exams.
*End of conversation*
This smart pencil was all my dreams and nightmares. Dreams of a smudge proof and kohl rimmed eyes. Nightmares of breaking my little piggy bank. What to do? What to do? *thinking* *thinking*
Then appeared the Angel Swati.
Angel: Oh Baby , Why can’t you save all your canteen, movie and library money to get your dream?Me: *bulbs* Ahhhh!! You mean my ice creams, samosas, chocolates, books, films???!!! NO WAY. *angel disappeared* Me: Icecreams and samosas are not good for my skin. Oh yes. Films will divert me from studies. There is nothing wrong in saving money to make my dream come true. *touchwood*So that was my history behind the kohl.
MAC says: A soft-on pencil liner that lines, defines and shades the eyes with rich colour and a silky-smooth,matte/pearl finish. Ophthalmologist tested.
It comes in a standard matte black MAC packaging. Looks quite chic and classy. It comes in a pencil form that needs sharpening which leads to product wastage. The texture of this kohl is really SMOOTH and CREAMY. It glides on eyes like a butter, hence no tugging and pulling around eyes. Even though its creamy, it doesn’t break while sharpening. No to mention its the BLACKEST BLACK color that every girl wishes to have in her kohl. The pencil will last for a long time as it is well pigmented. You just need few swipes to get that jet black look. It is actually NOT SMUDGEPROOF. I have watery eyes and it smudges a lot on my waterline if I rub it accidentally. If I don’t rub it, then it stays for a whole day. Kaspersky free antivirus. At the end of the day, it fades into eyes but doesn’t give you that raccoon eyes. I wear contact lens and it doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes.
