A while back, I realised that I no longer owned any mascara, and I wanted some. I knew that MAC cosmetics doesn’t do animal testing and that they had a shop that was within reasonable cycling distance and is situated smack in the midst of the Plaza, some of Kansas City’s most supreme people-watchin’ turf.
So back when I bought my fanfuckintastic GAP jeans, I decided to go completely wild and buy myself a mascara, too, since I was being all consumeristic.
Well, hell. I should have saved my money. This is the WORST mascara I have ever owned. It’s more like runny asphalt caulk. It’s sticky, it clumps up my eyelashes, and if I get it on my skin (which pretty much ALWAYS happens because I suck at makeup) it leaves ginormous smears that wear off over the course of a few face-washings. Also, it’s stark jet black, which looks really trashy on me.
This is some terrible damn mascara, folks, and I spent all of $12 on the awful stuff. Bleh.
I need to find mascara that fits two criteria: 1. not tested on animals and 2. Doesn’t suck.
Point #2 can be broken down as follows:
2.1 Doesn’t stay sticky
2.2 Doesn’t clump eyelashes into dreadful little spikey wads
2.3 Easy to remove from skin in the inevitable event that I smear it on my face.
2.4 Is not jet black – charcoal or super deep brown are preferred
So…if anyone who reads my blather has any suggestions and wants to share, I’d be awfully appreciative of some advice.
“It’s more like runny asphalt caulk.”
Ouch. And good to know.
I love the following:
-Covergirl Lash Blast (orange container; available in two brown shades)
-Maybelline’s classic Great Lash (pink or pink/green container; available in two brown shades)
Invest in a good eye makeup remover, which can also be found quite affordably at the drug store. It’s so worth it.
I agree michelle, the only mascera I use is the maybelline great lash in the pink tube with the green lid. They carry navy blue as well!
