mascara by any other name...
Not too long ago, a dear friend gave me some Lancôme trial-size makeup samples that she knew she wouldn't use. Among the goodies: a tiny tube of mascara. I didn't use it for a couple of weeks, because...mascara is mascara, right?
Oh, no. I was so wrong. Définicils is the best mascara I've ever used, by far. I can rub my eyes, and it doesn't smear. One night, I fell asleep on the couch-- my face didn't get washed until ~4am. No smudging. No raccoon-eyes. Is it wrong for me to be in love with this mascara? Yes. Why? It's $22 per tube.
I've been a Great Lash girl since day one-- it's between $4 and $6 a pop. Not bad, especially considering how long it lasts me. But $22? I found a site that sells it for $11.... but still. Ouch.
This is where I get yelled at by various and sundry people, because it's just mascara. Yeah. I know. It's neurotic, but I put powder and mascara on to go to the grocery store. It gives me some sort of false sense of security that I can just blend in and disappear.
Wonder Woman has her invisible jet... I have mascara.
There's much packing to do still -- we leave for Norman tomorrow. Lists have been made... that's progress, right? Nothing gets done unless there's a list.
So I'm getting up now. No more procrastinating.
Any second now.
Really.
Just as soon as I drop $11 on that mascara...
