It doesn’t look like the trend toward super-sized makeup is leaving the building any time soon, and generally, that’s fine by me (as long as prices don’t rise and the products still fit in my purse).
There’s also something to be said for the ability to spot these oversized products from half a mile away, like the jumbo suggestions attached to both ends of Estèe Lauder’s $24 Pure color intense Kajal Eye Crayon Duo in White Sands/Molten Lava.

Dang, those things are huge!

Estèe Lauder Pure color intense Kajal Eye Crayon Duo in White Sands/Molten Lava hails from the new Bronze Goddess Capri summer collection.
I’ve been applying eyeliner for years and have a good deal of experience under my belt, but I am still a little scared of poking an eye out with these gargantuan things…

All kidding aside, these pencils do have some pretty amazing perks. I love the creamy, smooth formula of the Molten Lava tip. It just glides along my lash and water lines.
And I really like the color. It’s not just a easy dark brown. There’s a hint of purple in it, too, making it a good departure from the golden brown liners I’ve been wearing a lot as of late.
Smudged along my lash and water lines, it lasts about six hours, and I promise it makes my brown eyes look a little much more chocolatey.
The suggestion on the other end, White Sands? — well, I think it’s just okay. It doesn’t feel anywhere near as smooth as Molten Lava does to me (or last as long). and the color even looks a little patchy and uneven…
So, one side of this pencil fires me up, but the other side kinda lets me down. On balance, though, I think it’s still pretty good.

I practically forgot! I was waiting in line at Target the other night when I overheard someone mention the return of Daylight savings Time this Sunday.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s already that time…
I used to love Daylight savings when I was a kid because it implied having that extra hour of daylight to play outside in the afternoons. Now, I still like the extra sunlight, but not so I can play outside. now I like it for running errands and doing things like grocery shopping…
Funny how things change.
