Lashing Out, Part 2
It’s a miracle! After two days of using Blinc Kiss Me Mascara, I’m happy to report that I’ve had great results. No more raccoon eyes. . . mostly. After a long-overdue trip to the gym — brought on by the despair I felt after getting my wedding album and realizing how badly I’ve deteriorated since that glorious three-workouts-a-week era — some of the mascara somehow ended up well under my eyes. Not smudged, more like transported one lash at a time. It was almost Mod, in a Twiggy kind of way.
But aside from the post-gym look — and I willingly confess that that was aberrant behavior — there was no flaking, smudging, raccooning. I should note that I read the directions for once and avoided wearing my usual super-rich Kiehls eye cream (which I still swear by for overnight), which seems to seal the deal. Victory!! I no longer look like the evil Emperor from Star Wars (or Pope Benedict).

I just bought some of this stuff yesterday and so far, I am very pleased. I still have a swim workout today to make it through though. I was told that water alone will not be enough to smudge my gorgeously elongated lashes. We shall see…

Swimming? That would be impressive. Let me know how it works!

WOW! After 1200 meters in the pool, with goggles, I am happy to report that my lashes looked amazing and not even remotely smudged! Not a speck of this wonder-mascara ended up under my eyes! I was even able to go out to dinner afterwards without touching my eye makeup at all!
Very happy! Thanks for the tip!

That’s so cool! I’m glad it worked out for you. And now I can rest easy that even if, say, I fell into a pool or got caught in the rain I’ll still be ok!
