For any and all ladies out there who have struggled with finding the perfect mascara, let me start by saying I feel your pain! My lashes are blonde and therefore nonexistent without mascara. To add insult to injury, they curl naturally making it almost impossible to get most mascara to apply without globs and clumps. I usually have to stick with the Maybelline and Covergirl mascara with the rubber brushes which comb out the clumps. If I have some extra cash I also really like Benefit “They’re Real” mascara which has a similar rubber applicator brush. I have to say, though that my lashes definitely still look “real” with that mascara. Which brings me to my next point… When it comes to our lashes, the bigger the better! I have always been obsessed with that big butterfly voluptuous lash look. I usually fall back on falsies if I have a special occasion to attend or go out for a night on the town with my girls. That is if I have time to apply them because let’s be honest, that’s a chore in itself. Read more
