Contacts Wearers!

Snigdhasen -- I don't wear contacts, but I've passed the question on, and I think one of the other Contributing Editors who does will be covering that topic very soon. Thanks for suggesting it! :)

Lenses

O you poor soul! Imagine walking out like that! Thanks for saving us some money.

Here's a request from a person with minimum experience in makeup -- but I do wear kohl once in a while: a post on eye makeup (especially liner) for people using contact lenses. Failed quite a few times. Either eye hurts or makeup smudges.

That would be great! Thanks.

Best Mascara. Ever.

Blinc Kiss Me is the best Mascara. Ever. Hands down. Pricy to be sure, but never runs, never drips. From our perspective, at bitchesonabudget.com, it's one of those items worth saving for a splurge!

I totally fell for the marketing. I was so happy to see someone warning against it...and here I thought maybe I was the only one. It's awful!

Oh, No!

I go through so many different mascaras , always looking for 'the one'. Sephora makes a great mini-sampler that usually has 10 of their best sellers. The cost is between $18 and $30, depending on the time of year, and they usually last me a few months, even after splitting them with my daughter.

My fave is still Bad Gal by benefit and my daughter's new fave is by Givenchy, which is ridiculously expensive...probably why she picked it!

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

That would kill

Contact lens wearers. My eyes are starting to water just thinking of it.

YIKES!

I am so glad you reviewed this product, because I was SERIOUSLY frightened by the look of it. I mean... how coordinated do you have to be to use it?? I would totally poke myself in the eye, I just know it.

Oh, HONEY

That's all. So sorry you had to go through that. Que terrible!

Great post!

I love it! You're right - that is SO not okay. Mascara can be such a crap shoot, though, and the tv ads are no help at all since it is SO INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS that the models are wearing falsies. No human being has lashes like that, so stop lying to us!!

I have the same problem you showed with a Trish McEvoy mascara I got and I had to drop-kick it, too. I honestly think that Maybelline Great Lash is the best mascara on the market. No matter how many times I try something pricey & fancy in an attempt to class myself up.

Mascara and YOU

I've tried many of the "best" mascaras, have close friends in the make-up industry and have a mother who enjoys products as much as I do. What I've realized is:

Every person's lash preferences are their own. One mascara doesn't suit every lash.

I'm a big fan of Maybelline Lash Stylist-- I love the comb wand and have received several compliments on the streets of Manhattan wearing it due to intense length and separation of lashes.

I entirely agree with your take on DiorShow. This is the world's most overrated mascara. Whoever they've paid to plug them is doing an amazing job in selling this blah product.

Good luck in finding what works for you!

Website finding perfect mascara!

In case you are still looking, the website www.6chicks.com is EXTREMELY helpful. It is a site designed to give women evaluations on various types of mascara. It helps you choose YOUR perfect mascara based on the qualities you want! You should definitely check it out, I know it helped me!

Lancome - Definicils

LaughingGirl — Fri, 29 May 2009 07:10:55 -0500

I read thru the entire string of posts and was surprised no one mentioned Lancome's Definicils. I have long but thin lashes and it does what a mascara should. LOVE LOVE LOVE this mascara. Although it does come in wateproof I don't use it as I've never had a problem with smuging or flaking.

Can someone with short thin eye lashes give me a recommendation? I have short eye lashes with blond tips. When I use mascara, they become barely visisble. I use eyeliner more often to define my eyes but short of fake ones, does anything work?

YSL - Faux Cil is THE BEST

MsAlexander — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:20:14 -0500

Aaaah, I may wear a strip of lashes when I wear makeup.......I know mascara!

Yves Saint Laurent's Faux Cil Mascara is worth every penny. ($28.50)

Wipe the wand once a week with tissue paper (not tissue!) and YOUR mascara will last 3 months. Oh yeah....3 months. Umm, throw your mascara and do your eyes a favor. Hmm, save $10 a month and there you go. (in other words, pack your lunch for 1 or 2 days and save your lunch money)
