The Mascara Diaries


I have an addiction…and it’s mascara. I try to avoid spending too much on makeup, but alas, I cannot with mascara. I think long lashes always look good… even with minimal makeup. Every day I wear the same thing:  under-eye concealer, bronzer, blush and MASCARA—so I think it’s perfectly normal to spend a little extra on basics [this is my reasoning, you know YOLO].  I have gone thru a lot of brands—Dior, Givenchy, Shiseido, Benefit, YSL… blah blah blah. They are generally good, but haven't done it for me. I need a lightweight formula that curls, lengthens, doesn’t smudge and comes off relatively easily (I have lots of needs]. My go-to for the last couple of years has been my Fiberwig [post to come]. It’s perfect for day… for night…for yoga…for channel surfing. But I digress. I recently received a small sample of Laura Mercier’s Full Blown Volume Lash Building mascara, and I have to say… I like it! It is not the fiber formula I tend to stick with, but it’s versatile and what I’m looking for.  I haven’t yet reached Twiggy-status… but I’m happy for now!
