Sister Showdown: Mascara

March 9, 2009

Let's talk about mascara, shall we? Aside from moisturizer, it's probably the most important beauty product that I use.  Since I have blond eyelashes, I absolutely have to wear mascara.  I'm lucky enough to not have to curl my lashes, but without mascara, you can't even tell that I have eyelashes.

I've definitely tried many different brands of mascara, from the cheapest to the priciest. I've never really found that the more expensive brands performed any better for me. I've been pretty happy with the Cover Girl LashExact for quite a while now. It doesn't glob, it doesn't smear, and it stays on all day without smudging. Recently, though, I've noticed that it dries up faster and doesn't last very long at all. (And honestly, it's starting to piss me off.)

Before I go back to my ole' faithful Maybelline Great Lash, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Do you have a mascara that you absolutely love and couldn't live without? If so, please leave me a comment. I'd love to hear from you.

BigSis, show me your latest favorite mascara!

    Hi Grace,
    Boy, I’m jealous! I seriously can’t leave the house without mascara! I’d scare my neighbors!

    I am a maybeline girl and have been for years – I have tried many others from Lancome – To Macc to Clinique and I always go back to Maybeline and for the price you cannot beat it!!

    Hi Cathy,
    Yeah, I do love the Maybelline Great Lash. I definitely think that it lasts longer than the LashExact. I may have to switch back if I keep noticing mine drying up too fast.
