Schizmu …Toronto and some insanity.

I hate mascara. I just don’t get it I suppose. It just seems to be the most falsely advertised product in the world.

And yet I still buy it… hoping that maybe they’ll live up to their promises. So that’s what I did earlier this evening, browsing the local Shoppers Drug Mart for deodorant I saw CoverGirl’s newest mascara on sale. I’m interested so I, of course, convince myself that I need a new addition to my make-up collection. I mean I only had waterproof, I needed something non-waterproof. In my own defense I actually did hear that you shouldn’t wear waterproof everyday.

I decided to test this new volumizing mascara, I coated one eye with my new goop, and proceeded to ask the boyfriend, “Which one has the mascara on it?” After some deliberation he did correctly identify the eye with mascara, but only because it was “a little darker.” I repeated the test with two other more expensive mascaras, I couldn’t see a difference. Then I put an “eye-opening” mascara on one set of lashes and the new “volumizing” on the other. I then asked the boyfriend which lashes looked thicker? The answer was basically neither, but the eye-opener was a little more clumpy.

I suppose if you have light lashes, mascara can be a wonderful definer, but if you are naturally a little more darker toned, it seems to be a bit of a rip off. Doesn’t seem to matter the mascara, what brand it is or whether it cheap or more expensive, all they do is make your lashes darker, add some clumps, and maybe spread them out a bit.

Make-up, such a love, hate relationship.
