Amazin’ Amazon
Saturday afternoon, I ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon. Sunday morning, some of the stuff was delivered before I got up out of bed.
Opening the box, I found one of the eyeliner pencils I ordered was broken into two pieces. I immediately got online to report the problem and Amazon promised to send me a replacement by 10 PM.
“Yeah sure,” I thought to myself, “That’s not going to happen.”
About 6 PM, Alexa informed me that a package had been delivered and sure enough, the replacement pencil was waiting for me in a padded envelope on the front porch.
Amazin’!
Speaking of eyeliner, I gave up on liquid eyeliner and switched back to pencil eyeliner.
When I do my makeup, it is a pleasure until I get to the eyeliner stage. I fear I am going to make a mistake and I often do as my nervous shaky hand flubs yet another eyeliner application.
I don’t use eyeliner everyday. If I did, practice makes perfect, and I could probably apply liquid eyeliner without a problem. Needless to say, I have better control using a pencil eyeliner. It never gets away from me and puts liner where I don’t want it. And at my age, I should go lighter with the liner; a pencil eyeliner allows that, whereas with a liquid eyeliner, it is all or nothing.
By the way, Schellea of Fabulous50s fame has an excellent video on YouTube, “Eyeliner Tutorial For Mature Eyes.” It was one of the motivating factors for my switch back to pencil eyeliner. Click here to view it.
