MAC Short Fuse/Be Cool BB Dual-Ended Powerpoint Eye Pencil

MAC Short Fuse/Be Cool BB Powerpoint Eye Pencil (Dual-Ended) ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) includes a pearly plum and off-white, but they're just an odd kind of pencil eyeliner that wears decently but goes on so poorly! The color coverage was weak for both shades, and it was hard...
