Mascara Woes

Oh do I have the woe for you. I know it all too well. I get a mascara that I've seen and that I've already fallen in love with, and it irritates my eyes. And then my eyes almost fall out.

Or, I get the girl falls in love with mascara, and mascara leaves big clumps on the lashes. By the way, it's not cute when a girl flirts with a boy and she has mascara clumps on her lashes (even if he doesn't know!).

Right now, I use this mascara from Bare Escentuals. It's the Weather everything waterproof edition. I like it, but I'm not in love with it. And you know you just have to be in love with your mascara.

Mascara I use (from sephora.com)
Weather Everything Waterproof Mascara


My main point in looking for a mascara is that it has to hypoallergenic since I wear contacts and have dry yes. I also have semi long lashes so I don't need mascara for length but for volume! These are two key points you have to ask before buying mascara.

I tweeted about my predicament with mascara and got a few responses that I will have to try. The first one I would love to try is the Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara (I hope Jennifer C is reading this!)!

There was also a Maybelline vibrating mascara I was told about. I will definitely have to check into that the next time I'm in Target or CVS.

I also want to try Great Lash (I believe it's Maybelline as well).

What mascara do you use? Love it? Share it here! :)

BeautyFULL

This has nothing to do with makeup or beauty products. Nothing at all. It has to do with the devastating news that has come from Haiti recently. Some people tend to just watch the tv and stare and cry. I'm just the opposite. I can't stand to watch the news and see the hurt and pain in the people's eyes. It breaks my heart.

So, as the jewelry maker, humble servant of God that I am, I have decided to donate all money from the sales of my earrings to the Red Cross Haiti efforts.

So maybe you'll like these earrings... Or these... Or this pair. Or if you went to LC, then maybe these. But remember, not only would you get a pair of earrings but also the satisfaction of knowing you've helped people in need.

Share this information if you wish. This will be going on for however long it takes to send some relief money to Haiti.
