Bionic Mascara?

Yes, with a clear question mark. When I came across an ad from Smashbox for their new mascara with claims of being “bionic” I clearly dismissed it and said, “Whaaa?“
“BIONIC is the first-ever ionic formula mascara. The primary ingredient in BIONIC is a chain molecule with a positive charge. The friction caused by sweeping the […]

Blinc Kiss Me Mascara

I recently received Blinc Kiss Me Mascara from Misikko. I’ve heard about this “tube” technology for your lashes and I was quite intrigued. Would it look like tubes? Better yet, will it feel like tubes?
With Kiss Me Mascara you have to apply it to your lashes before you apply your moisturizer. This is due to […]

Splendora’s Top Ten Mascara’s

Have you seen Splendora’s recent review of the best mascara’s? They tested a mad amount of mascara’s both drugstore and department store, and crowned winner’s and runner’s up in each category.
To be honest, I haven’t tested a lot of the mascara’s they mentioned and I have reviewed A LOT of mascara’s. In the Drugstore Runner-Up […]

Lord & Berry Raincoat Protecting Mascara

Lately these waterproof mascara’s I’ve been trying have begun to change my feelings towards waterproof mascara’s overall. Normally–not a fan, however Lord & Berry’s Raincoat Protecting Mascara is the second waterproof mascara that I’ve tried that didn’t “feel” like that typical dry, crackly, clumpy sensation I am used to dealing with for these types of […]

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment

This thin long tube of Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment mascara is brand spanking new from Elizabeth Arden. It came to me along with many other products (including the new Intervene foundation–review to come later) but almost went unnoticed.
What Elizabeth Arden says:
Our first-ever mascara infused with Ceramide Triple Complex and Keravis™ to help lengthen, define and […]

CoverGirl Lash Blast

As you can tell, I’m pretty obsessed with mascara. I haven’t yet had the courage to leap to extensions (the thought of someone attaching things to each lash sounds painful), so I continue to try to find a mascara that will come close to mimicing those come hither eyes.
CoverGirl’s newest addition is their Lash Blast. […]

Sephora’s Must Have Mascaras

While looking through Sephora’s must-have mascara’s section, it was interesting to note the differences among the mascara’s brushes. It made me start to wonder which type of mascara brush really is the best at delivering a clump free–mess free mascara application.
I realize that it is so difficult to find a good mascara because we constantly […]

Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Blue Mascara

Finally! I finally got Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Blue. I honestly never thought I’d see the day. I was just way too scared of feeling all Debbie Gibson wearing this deep blue violet mascara. If you just said, “Debbie who?” then go look her up on Wikipedia–if you know who I mean (and not just because […]

Makeup Monday: Your Makeup Questions Answered

In lui of a reader question this week, I want to bring up a debate that is happening in the comments of my Max Factor Vivid Impact Highlighting Mascarapost.
One reader says that mascara should only be black, brown or blue-black. Others argue against it and also feel that cosmetics should be fun, which is disagree […]
