Trips back to Berkeley and the SF Bay Area always make for some great weekends: I love the people, places, food, and weather (most of the time). I've only been back twice since moving to LA and it never fails to surprise me that after having lived there for 4 years, there's still so much I've never seen/done before!
On my most recent trip, I didn't just discover some fantastic new food places, but also a girl's most needed accessory: pink eyeliner! Like many, I've heard countless tips about lining the bottom waterline with white eyeliner as an eye-popping trick (a la
Tyra Banks). However, being darker toned, my little Asian eyes have never really been able to pull off the look the way it's meant to be done. While getting ready for a night out with the girls, I noticed this cute little pencil in my friend's make-up pile. It was
perfect! The
shu uemura brand has always caught my attention for its vibrant coloring, so I'm not surprised that the
Spring Mode Drawing Pencil in Me Pink is another one of their fabulous concoctions.
After scouring multiple Nordstroms for the pencil, I finally picked up this much need addition to my make-up collection! The pencil is creamy and smooth, perfect for a quick and easy application without the worry of eye irritation. The pink hue also has the perfect hint of glimmer in it. No, not glitter, but glimmer and shine. This is a great feature that sets it apart from Benefit's best-selling
Eye Bright, which is matte and thus doesn't show up as much when I wear it. I love that I can stick to lightly lining my waterline for daytime wear and then upping the oomph factor by drawing the inner corners of my eyes for a night out!
