I dropped by the
Beauty Store Salon & Spa the other day because it's the only place you can find
Jane Iredale products here in Austin (that I know of). I've heard about this brand many times before, but I always seem to confuse it with
Josie Maran. Note: they are not the same thing. I learned this the hard way.
I was actually on the look out for something similar to
this little do-dad that was recently featured in an awesome Beauty by Britanie
video. However, per usual, I forgot what I'd come for and got distracted by eyeliner. I've been somewhat underwhelmed by the natural eyeliner I've purchased before, which is sad because if I'm wearing makeup, eyeliner is a must. The liner I most recently tried out basically snapped in half and I'd been awkwardly attempting to keep using it, but was getting pretty fed up. That's when I met the
Jane Iredale Eyeliner Pencil. Here's a picture from their website:
Pretty standard-looking pencil, am I right? But no my friends, this pencil is magical. Like I mentioned before, I've often been disappointed with eyeliners -- natural or conventional. I've tried using dark eyeshadow as a liner, but I can't get the definition I like. Even when I used conventional, chemical-filled eyeliner pencils (before I knew better), it was hard to find one I liked. I was committed to a drugstore brand called Prestige before I switched to clean products and nothing so far had lived up to that precedent... until now.
