The search for the perfect.....

A woman's relationship with her mascara is deep and it is real!! When I was doing a major clean out of all my 'stuff' recently, I realised I had the most RIDICULOUS amount of mascaras! When I say ridiculous, imagine what you consider ridiculous and then triple it!!! Long, extra long, lush, luscious, ultra black,false eyelash effect, you name it I've tried it. Expensive brands, middle of the range brands and cheap....I'VE tried it! This celebrity or that celebrity won't leave home without her....BELIEVE ME I'VE TRIED IT!!!!
Even the women I know who wear no to minimal makeup, say they would never leave home without a coat of mascara.
I've bought the ones that lengthen, the ones that thicken and the ones that claim to do both! I've tried the ones that first coat your eyelashes with some kind of rubbery white substance and then overcoat your lashes in black. OVERCOAT?TOPCOAT, what, am I getting ready to go out or painting a room!!!
Fact:no mascara makes your lashes look like false eyelashes. Fact: only false eye lashes make your lashes look like fake eye lashes!
I have been blessed/cursed with long lashes that are super straight, with what appears to be blonde tips. I inherited them from my dad! My mum, on the other hand never wears mascara (she can't due to an umbrella accident that knocked her tear duct out causing it to constantly tear up)and she has amazing, curly black lashes!
Every mascara advertisement on T.V makes me want to go out and buy that mascara. Even though every fibre of my being tells me that the girls in the commercials are wearing falsies!
I laughed at myself the other day when I combined two from my collection, one that promised extra long lashes and one that promised thick, full lashes. The perfect combination right?!!!You'd think!
On the very very few occasions I have decided to wear false lashes I have had to set aside an extra half hour of 'get ready' time just to successfully apply them. When I go out with falsies on I spend the whole night in fear that that I look down and find me drink blinking at me (after losing a lash)!!

It has been a long and frivolous search. If only I could put as much effort into finding the perfect man as I do searching for the perfect mascara, even with the knowledge, deep down, that neither of the two exist!

Anyway I saw an advertisement tonight for a new mascara that is actually called 'false lash effect', I suspect it will be added to my collection by he end of the week!!!

until next time,
