I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect mascara for years now. I’ve tried pretty much every brand out there from MAC through to pretty much every single drugstore brand out there. Now, granted, I don’t have easy access to a Sephora, (yet, I’ve heard rumours that my city will be getting one sometime this year… we’ll see) and as much as I’d love to be, I’m not a Holt’s girl (Holt Renfrew… it’s sort of Vancouver’s version of Neiman’s), so I tend to stray away from $30 some odd tubes of mascara.
I am a well-studied student of the late Kevin Aucoin. He taught me everything I know about makeup and their looks, some of which I’ll talk about later this week. Complete with detailed pictures! But when eyelashes are concerned, I know the technique of putting on mascara properly and very very well. It’s one of my daily staples. This is why the quest for the perfect mascara is paramount.
I think I’ve managed to narrow it down to two options: CoverGirl’s Lash Blast and Maybelline’s Define-a-lash Volume Mascara. I once tried them both on – one on each eye… with very little discernible difference. I think at this point, I’m leaning towards the Cover Girl, which does sort of surprise me, because I haven’t ever been a real big fan of Cover Girl in the past. Now that they’ve got a brilliant partnership with America’s Next Top Model (and as of tonight, GO WHITNEY!!!!  I’m sooooo happy that she won!!!) they’re starting to step up their game. They’ve even got Drew as their latest Cover Girl. So maybe I’m on the right track here?

Your mission, oh dear readers, tell me: What’s your favorite mascara and why do you love it?
