Pink power! Here’s what ya get when you pair MAC Prolongwear Lip Pencil in Shock Value with MAC’s new Cremesheen Glass in Playful Petal.

Kind of sci-fi up close, isn’t it? Me likey a lot.


P.S. Guess who’s about to make a protein pancake for dinner. 🙂
I know it might sound gross, but it’s totally not. They’re actually very good, and good for you, too (except for the maple syrup, but I’ll use honey instead this time).
I just use a scoop of this protein powder instead of flower to make the batter, add an egg, and mix in some flax seed, almond milk, cinnamon, half a smooshed banana, and that’s it. Makes one big pancake (or two small ones). Super easy.







You look so cute, Karen! This is a fun Spring look! 🙂
YSL’s gloss volupte shade 49 is a close match to MAC’s playful petal.
Love your photos! What are you using for lighting and/or flash?
Karen – I definitely need a few tip on taking such gorgeous close-ups!

Gorgeous shade!
I agree super sci-fi close up but super natural from afar! If I wore that combo, I’d be spending to much time in a mirror.
Seriously, Karen – those close-ups!! I am super envious of your mad photography skills 😀
You look so fresh and pretty Karen! I just pancakes with loads of pineapple, raisins and honey 😛 Will try with protein powder, thanks for the tip!
Sorry I meant I had* pancakes!
Will you stop posting all of these beautiful combinations with these glosses?? I’m trying to stand firm on my decision to skip lol! The shimmer in Playful Petal makes my knees weak. It’s so darn gorgeous!!
Lol it does look sci-fiish, but very pretty!
It looks nice on you, Karen! I’m pretty sure it’s not the right color for me though.
Such a pretty pink!
I love that pink.
Agh! It’s so pretty. I’m a sucker for those pinks 🙂
A pretty shade!
I guess this will pair well with heavenly hybrid lippie! 🙂
This colour is very fun and would look great in the spring and summer for a bright lip duo! I love the sparkles in it reflect almost like a purple colour. I think a protein pancake sounds pretty delicious ;D

Once again I bought what you suggested! Can’t wait to get Riri red & springy pink looks. Speaking of perfect pinks I hope Pink Poodle was chosen for a return appearance! I’ve been wearing & loving it for years 😀
You look great in that pic Karen! I love the lipgloss! Bright pink with a hint of blue is so pretty! I have a few nail polish shades that are pink with a blue shift, and LOVE them.
The shade from these two products is beautiful!!! I love it! And I personally think a protein pancake sounds pretty good! 🙂
I purchased these products after your suggestion & they are awesome for spring. Look slightly lighter in my fair skin. I have a lip pic if u wanna see 😉
