Fabu-lash

 

 

I am thankful for many beauty products, but mascara is near the top for me. I really can't think of a day I haven't worn mascara since junior high. Like a frame accentuating living art, mascara showcases the windows to the soul.

Out of curiosity, I researched the history of mascara. For some reason, I thought it made its debut around the 1920 flapper era, but much to my amazement, I learned the Egyptians are credited with the first formula. Using bone and ivory as mascara applicators, they blended crocodile dung, water, and honey to create the first mascara. Umm...Gross.

Have I mentioned that I am glad that I live in 2012??

These are my three picky lash picks:

1~ Lash Envy Volumizing Mascara from Prescriptives - If you are a contact-wearer, this tube is for you! It lengthes, defines, volumizes, and thickens lashes. The best part is it stays on until you are ready to wash it off and does not require a harsh eye makeup remover.

Price: $21.00

2~Dior Show Mascara from Sephora - This is the mascara I bought to wear for my wedding day. I remember walking into Sephora and asked one of the make-up artists which was her absolute favorite mascara. She was like, "Hands down. Dior Show."

Of course, I wore the water-proof version :) It did not disappoint! Till this day, it is my favorite.

It's silky black luxurious formula goes on so smooth. It gives a dramatic false eyelash catwalk/runway effect. If you want maximum volume and doll-like eyes, this one is worth the extra $$...

This one is in my Yesboxx :)

Price: $25.00

3~Maybelline Volum Express mascara from Amazon - I absolutely love this mascara. For beauty on a budget, this is the one to buy! It builds up to 3x the volumes with out the cake-like clumps. No one likes mascara crumbs...

Price: $6.59
