Bonjour, my friends!
It’s another pretty day here in NYC so spirits are up all around! Hopefully all you locals can enjoy it today or at least go for some ice cream and a stroll in the park later on.
:)
Ok, well, today we’re gonna talk about one of my favorite cosmetics, MASCARA!
Lush, long, mascara-ed lashes make me a verrrry happy woman. They really enhance any face! If there is one product that I’d recommend any Beauty from novice to fanatic it’s a good ol’ mascara. The only thing is that there are a million different ones out there, choosing the right one get overwhelming...
But, take heart! Today I’ll help make your choice a little easier by giving my honest opinion on
Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara ($8) . As one of the newer additions to the drugstore family, I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials at some point or another. And, while the model’s lashes look
a-ma-zing, I’m sure they are falsies (an
unfortunate tactic used in beauty industry commercials and print ads…)
Moving right along, Lash Stiletto’s packaging is so fun! I really love how the tube is shaped like an actual stiletto heel. So cute! But, that might be all I really love about it. It does the job as a mascara – nice deep tint, no real flakes or other craziness – but I’m not a fan of the wand. It has fiber bristles (instead of the firmer
rubber bristles I loooove) so it doesn’t separate my lashes all too well. As a result, much more time is spent maneuvering and wiggling to get my teeny little lashes to do what I want them to do.
One more thing, the smell of this stuff is quite hard on my (sensitive) nose. All I can think of to describe it is a “general chemicalized smell” – and, no “chemicalized” is not a word ;) Thankfully, I can’t smell it long after application, but as I put it on…eeks!
Have you tried this stuff out?
Well, if you have any random insights about mascara or life in general – do us a favor and leave a comment!
Later, babes!
