Robin writes in from Washington state with these enthusiasticular recommendations! She sez,
Forever, I have longed for a mascara that did NOT provide me with thick (clumpy) lashes. I actually thought if there were a thinner variety of mascara that would only colored the lighter ends of my lashes, that would be the perfect product. I finally found that in Bare Naturale by Loreal. I LOVE IT. (www.lorealparisusa.com/_us/_en/default.aspx#page=top{userdata//d d//|main:home|diagnostic|nav|media:_blank|overlay:productdetail//objectid Cos3h_3//})
I have also dreamed of a product (I envisioned a mascara-like brush) for touching up my gray roots on those first days when they peeked through at my part. My hair grows at light speed, is dark brunette, and most of my gray hair is at the crown of my head, so I was dyeing my roots every 3 weeks or exposing the secret only my hairdresser should have known. THEN I ran across a Joan Rivers’ product (yes, JOAN RIVERS!) that has answered my call! Joan Rivers Beauty Great Hair Day (www.softsurroundings.com/P/Joan_Rivers_Beauty_Great_Hair_Day/) is a powder made for those with *thinning* hair applied with a brush (included) to the scalp. However, it was also touted as being a good blend on the gray roots as they emerge. IT WORKS!
Thanks, Robin! Sorry I couldn’t decode your links but maybe others can! Kiss of peace, PB

Thanks for the mascara recommendation! That’s exactly the type of mascara I’ve been looking for. I actually have fairly thick and long lashes, that are almost black, but sometimes I just want a little extra “oomph” that doesn’t give me the tarantula legs look.

I’ve recently let my hair be what it is and it’s cute. I am loving my new look. For some bizarre reason that I don’t understand, gray hair makes me look younger. Heh!
I just bought the natural mascara, and I love it! Just what I wanted, and I don’t even feel like I’m wearing mascara at all. Thanks for the recommendation! 🙂
