A review and a new recommendation....

I am obsessed with lashes right now, not sure why but I am rolling with it....
So a few updates on some of my latest musings on lashes...




1 - I have now used my free gift of Zoom Lash by MAC a few times and am not totally impressed. It covers lashes well and does the length thing pretty satisfactorily but it does cause my number one no-no when it comes to mascara. It FLAKES- ugh and gives you that icky dark under eye circle caused by mascara that does not stay on! Now, I will say this....If you are doing a smokey eye or an edgier look I am not totally opposed to have some under eye darkness a la Debbie Harry...

But for everyday - I am NOT a fan of anything that makes you look less polished and more tired.


2 - I was running late yesterday and had to do some eye make-up in the car (no worries- I wasn't driving!).....and instead of bringing my full size go-to mascara I used my in-purse back-up...another freebie I had received, this time Clinique High Impact Mascara - $14 (nationwide at Clinique counters, Sephora and online at Clinique.com). ( I like to keep all my mini's in my purse for just this reason- I will use them and can then perhaps add them to my rotation.) And holy cow! It is fantastic!! Never mind the fact that it was put on in a moving car in a little tiny mirror, it made my lashes full, dark, long and they actually stayed that way for my entire rehearsal (through sweat and all.)


This is definitely going to be a new favorite of mine- try it out - I think you will love it too!

Have a great weekend and keep looking fabulous!
