Wintry Mix thinks this stuff is the bee’s knees. She writes,
I CAN report, however, that I found two absolutely amazing mascaras. The first is Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara by Maybelline. I picked it up after reading one of those product display posters that you see in the cosmetics section, that listed all Maybelline’s mascaras on a spectrum with “defining†on one end and “lengthening†on the other. Until seeing that poster, it had never dawned on me that my eyelash length is just fine, thank you, and that definition/volume is where I need the most help. Define-A-Lash was on the “definition†end, and so I tried it. It is fabulous–my lashes look a 1000 times fuller. It’s the first mascara I’ve ever used that I’m able to make look natural on my bottom lashes. For me, it’s way, way better than the Great Lash mascara I swore by for years, and even better than the Estee Lauder More Than Mascara that I used back in my yuppie days.
The other great mascara find was Bare Naturale mascara by Loreal, which was also very defining, but with a more natural feel, as the name implies. I use it when I want a subtler, “you think I’m not wearing makeup although in fact I am†look. I believe it was a bit pricier than the Maybelline, though.
Consumer Reports recently gave this mascara the thumbs (lashes?) up too! So helpful to get make up reviews here, because it saves a lot of $$ to be able to skip the duds without having to test them personally!
