This week its all about my peepers, that's right, it's time for a new mascara. The old one is as dry as Mose's sandal, so off I pop for a new one....easy right? Oh no, mascara mayhem ensues.....
So I am part of the long lash brigade. I have ones like a cow on hair hormones or once someone told me they were like Miss Piggys (honest to God, didn't know if it was a compliment or an insult!)
You can see what I mean, but therein lies the problem...which mascara makes my peepers pop?
I have tried most cult brands, and I have come to the conclusion that it's all in the WAND.
Here are the usual different types in picture :
Starting from left to right:
1. "The General" - suitable for long lashes looking for volume
2. "The Sleek Chic" - smaller bristles to really seperate thick lashes
3. "The Undecided" - has both comb and bristles for you to decide which is right
4. "The Comb" - most suitable for short lashes as it really gets to the root of the eyelash and lifts from there.
There has been a new development from Benefit in the shape of the "They're Real" mascara. I have tried it, but I'm not sure it's worth the price :(
Yes, as you can see the ingenius little head on the top of the wand does help to seperate the lashes, but the brush itself is a little wimpy in bristle size, and just does not seperate my lashes enough itself.
So to end the sad story, I did what most women do when in a crisis, I went back to my old favourite show stealer:
An excellent choice for my long lash type, no clumps, good brush and it stays put even when it's not waterproof.
TIP :
When your applying your mascara, brush down from the eyelash to towrds the eye once first, then up twice to make sure you cover all hairs :)
