Today is finally the day, the day when my mascara is just about dried up and I absolutely cannot get anything else out of it. Today is the day to buy a new tube of mascara. For me there's always this debate any time I run out of a product: should I get what I know works or should I just try them all and figure out the one I like best? Usually with mascara I like to try everything, but it's getting to the point when I know how crucial mascara is and I'm not sure I want to risk one that's sub-par.
I like my mascara a certain way you see. I want it to elongate my lashes without making me look like I have a spider on my eyelid. I want it to give it that va-va-voom look without being so crazy it looks like I have fakes on because it has to be wearable enough for every day. It cannot smear because I'm often in a hurry when I'm applying make-up (sometimes even while I'm driving) so I don't have time to meticulously apply it or wipe it off my eyelid, and then, you know, there's the occasional sneeze so that can't be a total disaster. And lastly, I only ever wear waterproof because I just like to always be prepared; you never know when it's gonna rain or you're gonna wanna jump in a pool, and of course there's the crying that can happen anytime anywhere for any given reason, like a some sudden bad news or a sad movie or something outrageously funny or a commercial...anything.
So after trying many many things, I have come to the conclusion that Maybelline Define-a-Lash and CoverGirl Exact Eyelights mascaras in waterproof are my favorites. Not clumpy. Very elongating, but in a tasteful way. The Exact Eyelights actually does kind of brighten your eye a little bit without being too sparkly, which I love. Define-a-Lash lasts forever and gives me a perfect lash. (And for the record I think CoverGirl Lash Blast is overrated. Too smudgy. Doesn't last very long.) Plus I'm also a sucker for celebrity endorsements so Jessica Alba definitely sold me for Define-A-Lash and Rihanna did the trick for Exact Eyelights. (I do like Drew Barrymore, but we just do not see eye to eye on our taste in mascara and I'm perfectly ok with that.)
So what's your favorite?
