In life, three things are certain: death, taxes, and the ongoing search for a good maroon-brown eyeliner. I used to love MAC’s shadow in embark, until I realized the staying power of a shadow just isn’t good enough. I don’t reapply makeup throughout the day other than lipstick/gloss. Then, I tried out Elizabeth Arden’s Color Intrigue Eyeliner in Umber, and am ENAMORED with it. In French, intrigue means plot, and you’ll surely be the leading lady of yours rocking this retractable, vitamin-enriched crayon of an eye pencil. It’s super quick and long-lasting. I used mine this morning before I dashed out before work to take my cat, Ramon (pronounced Ramone, like the dude in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion), to the vet for his scratched cornea. Seven hours later, my eyes are still looking fly and Ramon is happily ensconced back at my apartment after having been treated with ointment.

P.S. The name of the color is so Crayola 94 pack, right? Love it.
