Lonely Eyes: Bare Escentuals Flawless Mascara. HAW!

HAW as in, are you kidding me? Are we meant to live like this? THIS as in with spiky, drying, spidery lashes, which leave a fine black crumble under your eyes after dinner? Can this really be a concern for a modern mascara? Was there zero testing done. I mean, I know we're not testing on animals (yay), but please, get some human subjects to know how embarrassing it is to walk away from a lovely dinner, happy on a couple glasses of wine, to get home and see a panda bear with black and gray flocking under the eyes. Thank Buddha for dimly lit Lower East Side restaurants is all I have to say.

Bare Escentuals Flawless Mascara (HAW! Again!), $15 comes with an intensely separating spiky little rubber brush. The brush makes it easy to get to the base of lashes, but leaves the long ones crusted over in a hard-looking manner. The ends become sharp and militant-looking. Excellent for the Gothic and aggressively dramatic looks. I have nothing more to say, it basically looks awful until you comb out the lashes (with a dry mascara brush). Boo! I normally love Bare Escentual products, but this mascara doesn't give the full, flirty lash I crave. Definitely not a beautifying beauty product. Does that make sense? It doesn't make you prettier, just gives you really harsh-looking lashes. It definitely darkens, and coats every lash, but it just doesn't make you seem like the most beautiful gal at the party. It just makes you look like you got your first mascara and applied it without a hint of technique.

Don't buy it. You've been warned.
