MASCARA!!! Woo hoo!!!!

Where would we be without it????...According to the latest "Make Up Store" booklet apparently the oldest archaeological find of eye makeup was found in Egypt and they think they were about 12,000 years old.......Now I love make up, but I think I could have got an infection or two had I have given that stuff a go!!!!!!.........The other spooky thing was.. wait for this.........during the Middle Ages Europe became more influenced by the church and they actually BANNED make up!!!!!! oh my goodness, my heart is beating irregularly !!!!!......Fortunately we don't have such rules now....phew.......where would we be???????
What does set my heart a flutter is mascara.......you always feel a little more girlie and 'dressed' with your eyes done.......I  seem to have always had a problem finding the 'perfect' mascara...Lucky for us we don't have to use 'cake mascara' anymore.......it was like a eyeshadow cake and people used to spit on it and use a brush to pop it on the 'ol lashes!!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!DELICIOUS!!!!!..
Panda eyes are POO....There is nothing worse than worrying if its all oozing down your face, whilst in that cool wind that makes your eyes water, watching that sad movie, getting that fabulous present from someone that gives you a tiny tear or two, eating a hot curry, or just having greasy eyelids!!! ( this is my problem....ugh, it just about makes it impossible to keep mascara on!!! )
I have tried oodles and oodles of mascaras.....from top end to most popular....believe me.....I have probably tried it......Lots of them claim to be waterproof and long wearing, but really only few truly deliver!!!!.....
I also have tiddly- widdly lashes, so I need one that is going to make my lashes look as thick and as long as possible.....I also recommend curling your lashes first with a quick squeeze of a lash curler ( practise makes perfect with those things, make sure you open the curler before removing it from your eye area....you will learn this lesson the hard way otherwise.......)

So.....here is my top 3 mascaras.......waterproof of course.......

1/ Shiseido- lasting lift mascara.....this one, and only this one ( the actually waterproof one that they have is nowhere near as good).........it has a super skinny wand that makes even getting those teeny ones super easy.........it lifts up your lashes and actually holds them there until you take it off......which is quite hard to do.....soak a cotton pad in waterproof eye makeup remover and hold it up to the eye until it softens  (Natio has a super good remover is and cheap$$$$$$12 or so get it at Priceline)...One trick with this one as well, is to scrape most of the product back into the tube before painting the lashes, the less you have on the brush the better!!!!!!!!!....its under $50 in the stores and get it at Strawberry Net even cheaper....

2/ Laura Mercier waterproof mascara........again gives super hold and lasting lift....easy to apply , nothing tricky to do......under $50 in store and also at Strawberry Net for even less

3/ YSL Everlong waterproof .........funny plastic brush , but awsome lift and lasting power.......I have only ever purchased this one on Strawberry Net for like $30....would be heaps more in the shops....

HINTS- make sure you don't pump the wands up and down in the tubes....forces too much air in there and dries out the product
Dont keep it till it dries up like a prune....eeeeeewwwww....germs.......you should really replace every 6 weeks!!!!!!

Hope this helps for your next shopping trip!!!!!! love ya Ren xoxoxox
