Yesterday I left the house WITHOUT MASCARA!
I had had a rubbish nights sleep, Ali (cat #3) had been particularly vocal between 4 and 5am meaning a very broken nights sleep.
I'm also doing a huge blogsale and it's really forcing me to shop my stash and figure out what works and what doesn't for me so I have been trying a few new bits (post coming up on those soon) and loving them all so much that I must have got distracted from my usual routine.
I got in the car, pulled out of the car park and up to the traffic lights. Quick make up check in my mirror-liking that new eyeshadow! But wait! Something was wrong-very wrong. OMG my lashes were nude!
I know there are potentially more things to worry about but at that moment I panicked! I quickly weighed up my options-did I have some mascara in my bag? 17 lipsticks probably but mascara? Negative. Did I have time to nip home? No and Mike would kill me if I waltzed in saying 'I'm back because I forgot to put mascara on'. I would have to go to the supermarket and buy some.
I'll be honest, I haven't bought a drugstore mascara since I was about 15-I may as well just admit I am a mascara snob!
I had two choices at the local supermarket-Rimmel or Maybelline. I honestly couldn't name a Rimmel mascara so I decided it was finally time to try the Maybelline Falsies mascara Tanya Burr raves about.
Without doubt the cheapest mascara I have ever bought-worked out about £7-8.
But it's a beaut!
The packaging bulky and plastic-y but to be honest it applies like a dream. It has a thin concave brush which makes getting to the root of lashes super easy. It doesn't smudge onto the upper lid-my pet hate! It's a fairly wet formula so is easy to work with a build up. It didn't smudge all day and gave thick, black long lashes! The lashes look as good at 8pm as they did when I apply it at half 7 in the morning. And for a waterproof mascara it removed so easily with a swipe of my Garnier 2 in 1 soothing eye make up remover.
I think it's a keeper.......
What would you have done? Gone in mascara-less or would you have done what I did?
