Say NO to crunchy lashes!!

Hi!

Okay so have any of you bought a new Mascara and were super excited to use it only to find out later in the day that it makes your lashes crunchy... I mean seriously.. How annoying is that? not to mention unsafe for your sensitive eyelashes that if pulled out (too many at a time can leave you with gaps and then take months up to years to fully grow back!)


My not so good experience more recent to date is with Christian Dior's Dior Show. Ok, so I've said quite the mouthful of negative stuff but please let me just say this.. I absolutely adore the ginormous wand and the conistency of the formula isn't so bad.. it's when it dries that I feel bothered.. I must also point out that this stuff really makes your lashes long and full. I just can't get over the crunch... there just has to be a way to get around this.. Maybe if I add a bit of moisturizer before applying the mascara? But then my mascara will run all over my face! What to do???

SO... I invested in a mascara base (like I need an addition to my daily regimen or another base! but I just had to find a way to keep this mascara :( it's Dior Show for crying out loud! if you read or know about makeup.. EVERYONE talks about and adores Dior Show.. The reviews on the product is insane!

So I applied the base then let it dry for a moment (as not to dilute the rich black mascara-bases are white. It'll make your mascara gray) then I applied my Dior Show.. I will admit, the crunch was not as bad BUT... It was still there.. and! who honeslty wants to deal with now adding a mascara base before their mascara? If your lashes are not to your satisfaction, by all means go right ahead but I happen to like my length ...

I'm all for face primers and eye primers but now a mascara primer? ok NO.. this is getting way to complicated.. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't go on this way. SO>> I decided to return the mascara at Sephora. It pained me to do so, but it had to be done.

I found an alternative (in the meantime) Lashblast from Cover Girl. It's okay. The brush isn't as big as the Dior one but it's bigger than the usual ones. It'll do for now. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect mascara.... I'll keep you all posted!

XOXO
