My make-up routine is minimal and my eye make-up ability…well, it’s pretty much non-existent. I wear eyeliner pencil in an imprecise way and that’s about it! So now that I’m well into adulthood, I think it’s about time that I figured it out!
I’ve been experimenting with different mascara brands and I have to tell you that I am overwhelmed! So many choices… Curling. Volumizing. Defining. Lengthening. Hydrating. etc. etc. Does there really need to be so many variations? Can’t one do it all? And how does that paint in a tube curl my lashes? Doesn’t seem possible…
Here are the ones I tried so far…
Trish McEvoy – Pros: it’s Trish, no clumping, easy to apply and remove, no smudging
Cons: not a huge visible difference, no curling effect as promised(perhaps my lashes are too straight
)
Cons: not a huge visible difference, no curling effect as promised(perhaps my lashes are too straight
)
Blinc – Pros: no clumping, easy to apply and extremely easy to remove, no smudging
Cons: not a huge visible difference
Lancome – Pros: lashes are t.h.i.c.k., no clumping if done carefully, easy to remove, no smudging
Cons: Because lashes are more noticeable, mistakes and a heavy hand stand out!
Benefit – Pros: lashes are longer and thicker, no clumping if done carefully, easy to remove, no smudging, love the brand!
Cons: Because lashes are more noticeable, mistakes and a heavy hand stand out!
Hmmm. So I guess Benefit they’re Real! is my favorite so far. Next, I’ll be trying Dior Show, Sephora’s brand, Rimmel, and Chanel. Any suggestions??
Ok, so now that I ‘ve spent a sufficient amount of time procrastinating with this mascara quest, time to get ready for…Fashion Week!!!

February 5, 2013 at 12:53 amI'm still in the search for the perfect mascara too! I have tried the Benefit one too, loved it too, but I have to admit that clinique's mascaras are by far my faves, especially when I want to get dressed up!

February 7, 2013 at 2:31 amHi Josephina- I've been using Benefit's mascara lately too. I usually stick to one mascara for a long time and only change if I find one that's reeeeally good, and I think Benefit's fits the bill. So glad to see you liked it as well!

February 8, 2013 at 1:29 pmI'm like you when it comes to makeup! The only things in my "makeup bag" are mascara and lip balm.
The mascara I use each and everyday (I have a thing for full, lush eyelashes) is Diorshow and Diorshow Extase. The Diorshow gives my lashes that full, lush look, then I layer on the Diorshow Extase on top to help lengthen my lashes.

February 8, 2013 at 11:31 pmI really want to try the benefit one! everytime i'm in the store i talk myself out of it because it's just so darn pricey. And i already found a pretty good drugstore one for less than half the price (covergirl lash blast). but maybe one day i'll bite the bullet and get it

Sephora sells a travel(sample) size for about $10 if you wanted to try it. If you do, would love to know it you like it!
