Black Kajal eyeliner and some ugly purple blush from Wet N Wild.. Here is the challenge of the century.. who remembers those liner pencils, they were red, about 6 inches in length and you had to warm them up with a match or lighter before you could actually USE them.. How many of you didn't wait long enough and ended up with slight burn and a blob of liner on your eye..(yeah, i did that) |

I remember their shadows.. whoa.. full of pigment. They had the best kohl penciles (I still have one which was a silvery blue for the inside of the eye -- I keep it for old times sakes!). They had a great brow fix which worked wonders to keep brows in shape and they had a fantastic sealant for cake eyeliner.. sigh

I also wore tons of mascara and didn't mind when it smudged on the bottom because I thought it looked like eyeliner! How far I've come... |

They had the prettiest shades! And they were so smooth and pigmented.. I still have about 4 or 5 of them. But the one I totally loved (Beauty Queen) spilled in an old purse and I ran out of the residue in the jar as well.. OMG it was the prettiest e/s. Like equal parts gold and like an amethyst purple very similar to Creme de Violet. I'm dying to get my hands on it again because I can't find anything that gorgeous, but it's long discontinued and hard to find on ebay.
i found the color descriptions on this website. Suze's stuff | |
