Maybelline Lash Stiletto

 

Maybelline says: 

"The only mascara that does for lashes what stilettos do for legs.

• The Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash and coats from every angle
• Elastic formula stretches lashes for provocative length
• Pro-Vitamin B-5 formula conditions and smoothes for black-patent shine
• Contact lens safe and Ophthalmologist tested 

So, even though I know and can visibly see the false lashes that the model has on in the commercial, I still wanted to try it. (which I guess means their advertising succeeded) Maybelline, you will not make it to my top 5 with Lash Stiletto. It's almost too natural. I understand it's not a "thickening" mascara but I didn't see any difference in length either. I will continue to wear stilettos, just not Lash Stiletto.

MAC Zoomlash

Zoomlash is my favorite mascara as of right now. Here is what MAC claims this mascara will do for you: "Major drama. Lasts all day. Creamy, velvety formula builds density and conditions. Feels light, supple. Ultra-sculpted brush has three-sided fibres to embrace and separate each lash, hugging every curve. Coats in one stroke from root to tip. No smudging." 

 I have found that no matter what length your lashes are, this product works wonders. The brush is skinny enough that you have great control and you can really get each individual lash. I agree that it lasts all day and it's water resistant not water proof, so it won't sweat off but it comes off easily. 

On the downside, because the brush is so skinny, it grabs the product easily. Which means, it can be a bit clumpy. Just make sure you scrape off a bit before applying if you don't want too much on. 

I would recommend this mascara to anyone. If I'm not mistaken, it's still MAC's #1 selling product. I would list it on the more dramatic of mascaras.

MASCARA

I've decided to start the quest for the greatest mascara. I'm a little biased for MAC mascara since that's basically all I wore for 5 years. As of right now MAC Zoomlash is my all time favorite.  I will write a little tidbit of info for each one I try. I asked people on FB and Twitter to give me some suggestions of their favorite mascaras; so I'll try those first.
These were the suggestions:
Trish McEvoy- lash curling
Loreal- Voluminous
Lancome- Definicils
Makeup Forever - Smoky Lash
Cover Girl- Lash Blast

i took a few snapshot of my favorite dresses from all of the hundreds of gowns. i obviously couldn't get many but i tried. i've never seen so many dresses in one place before, it was overwhelming. i so wanted to put them on and relive my wedding day by walking down the catwalk!
