i am a mascara slut...

it's true.........i always have been. loyal to no brand and willing to try anything. since i was a teenager, i have been on the hunt for the perfect mascara (who hasn't?). i want lengthening...thickening...no flaking....glossy, rich color (the inkiest, blackest of nights) and it must dry quickly but not too quickly....you know what i mean. just to give you an idea of my "obsession", here is a sampling of what is currently nestled on tray number two of my fold-out makeup case: dior- diorshow, lancome defincils, clinique lash doubling, maybelline falsies, covergirl lash blast, benefit bad gal in black AND plum and finally....my newest darling: rimmel lash accelerator in extreme black. whew.....quite a collection you say? you have nooooo idea. i have tried all the expensive brands as well as everything you can get at the drug store......they work for a while and then it's on to the next best thing.....it is an odyssey. and it doesn't matter if your best friend recommends her favorite.....you have to find your own favorite--the one that makes YOU happy (much like finding the perfect guy). i will never break up with benefit's bad gal in plum....that particular color and i will have a long and happy life together (and girls, it layers well over your favorite black mascara to give green & blue eyes a a special "pop" of color). but for now....my new "steady-for-the-moment"....the rimmel accelerator........is the one that will adorn my lashes...........for at least another week....until something new catches my eye.
