have you noticed the explosion of mascara commercials lately?
they all claim to give you super long, super lush, model like eyelashes.
now i do like makeup, i do not wear alot of it, but i like it. if that makes sense.
i do not like wearing make up in the summer, with the exception of mascara.
for the last couple of year i have been using diorshow black out mascara.
i love it. but i do not love its $24.00 price tag.
this week i fell victim to the glam lash hype.
and bought maybelline's volum express mascara.
it promises to make my eyelashes look like "falsies"
well, i wore "falsies" when i got married
and this doesn't really look like the same thing.
i will continue to use it, but i don't know if i will run out to replace it.
however, i do like the $6.99 price tag.
what kind of mascara do you use?
I must say, the mascara commercials drive me nuts. I sit and wonder if people really think their lashes will suddenly transform into these spider-like lashes with one stroke of the wand. I just use Maybelline in the pink tube-$5!
ReplyDeleteI am on a perpetual hunt for mascara...I LOVE mascara! I just started using Neutrogena's latest mascara and so far I am liking it...but the jury is still out...but you are better than I, if I don't like it, into the trash it goes!
ReplyDeleteImagine...I use the one you talked about...the Maybelline one and i love it...No surprise XOXO

ReplyDeletethe one and only..... for me

ReplyDeleteThat is some expensive mascara....I mentioned the name to my daughter and she said she LOVES the Dior mascara, but as a student in college she can't afford it. She uses Covergirl Lash Blast or something like that in blue/black. Believe it or not, I use Avon blue mascara and love it. It comes off right away with a washcloth and looks good!

Diorshow. I totally love it.
ReplyDeleteused to use clinique something or other at $24 a tube. now i use whatever i have a coupon for because, let's be honest, i only put it on about once a week anymore.
ReplyDeletenow, if you want to talk moisturizes and wrinkle cream, that is what i spend my money on these days. sigh.
Disclaimer here: I'm a Mary Kay consultant, so of course I use ours. :) We have a Lash Lengthening or a Waterproof Mascara, each for $10, and my favorite is the $15 Ultimate Mascara, which adds both thickening and length. Both come in black or black/brown, which is plenty dark enough for most people and really soft. I can't speak to comparisons, obviously, but we do have a guarantee that if you don't like a product, you can exchange it or get your money back. You can't do that with other brands. So you might want to give it a try.....Kay
ReplyDeleteI used to use Definicils, then Blinc (the one that 'tubes' your lashes), and now I don't wear any because I use Latisse and don't need mascara anymore. All I need is an eyelash curler--seriously!
ReplyDeleteokay so Im obsessed with my dior mascara but my next try out is going to be blinc ... I heard its amazing!
ReplyDelete"NEW Volum' Express the Falsies Washable Mascara"
ReplyDeletethat's a looong name! (but a shorter price tag).
C ravaged my old makeup drawer and has been using my mascara tube as a...microphone. Because it's pink. So I guess I used the pink kind. Might be time to reclaim that. :)
