~good mascara~

Most women have a make-up item they

CANNOT live without.

Mine is mascara.

And let me tell ya....

I've tried a lot of them out there. 

Mascara is tricky for me because

 it needs to go on thick,

last all day and not smudge under my

eyes. That last part is a bit tricky because

I have to wear lots of concealer nowadays

to cover up those gawd-awful bags

under my eyes. 

Here's my current mascara:

 benefit's

"they're Real!"

Goes on thick.

Stays on all day.

The end of the applicator took some getting 

used to for me. The first couple times I used it

I poked myself in the eye....

that resulted in a great raccoon look!

I have had problems with it smudging

but it doesn't happen each time.

Weird.

It DOESN'T smudge more often

than it DOES smudge....if that 

accounts for anything???

It will cost you about $25.

A price I'm willing to pay if it 

does all I need it to do and wears

throughout the day with no smudging. 

Next I'm going to try DIOR mascara.

I've heard that's good.

Have any of you tried it?

What is your favorite mascara?

(and if you tell me the $6 Maybeline Great Lash

I'm going to scream-I've tried it and it

doesn't work for me. It seems to be a 

favorite for a lot of women.) 

By the way.....

I always keep this mascara as a back up:

 Mary Kay's

"Lash Love"

It's in the $12 range and actually

works so good that I don't know why

I keep trying new mascaras. 

What's in your make-up bag?

And if you believed my statement about mascara

being the one make-up item I can't live without,

you give me too much credit.

In reality.....

...THIS is all the stuff I can't live without :)

 Ok-not really but sort of.
