Spider Monkey Mascara
I have been hunting for a long-wear make-it-through-anything-with-fabulous-lashes type of mascara. I demand it all. I have been hunting for years. I'm hard on my mascara- I work as a hiking guide in Alaska, and I like to maintain some girliness in my work and part of that includes having fabulous lashes while hiking the windy ridges. I have spent three years battling black under-eye smudges once I begin sweating.
I have found the mythical creature I have been searching so desperately for- the Perfect Mascara. I ordered a sample from the company, put it on my lashes when it arrived (so smooth!!) and immediately did a weight-lifting session and then headed out the door for a five mile power walk without looking in the mirror. I was gonna test this.
When I got home, I looked in the mirror....and not one smudge. Not ONE. No smear, no moving, just fabulous LONG pretty lashes! I actually called my husband at work to celebrate. He didn't care. But I do!! Not only does this stuff cling to your lashes like a spider monkey to a back, it removes easily with makeup remover (I nearly tear my lashes out with other waterproofs I've worn), there is NO clumping when you apply it, and seriously ladies...it did not MOVE. I'm never looking back. This is it, hands down. And I'm not allergic. Almost everything makes my eyes itch.
I don't know what is in this stuff, but ELIZABETH MOTT I LOVE YOU!!! I officially get to stay pretty while sweating it up with clients in the back country of Alaska. BOOM. Life complete.
I'd recommend the other products too- they also sent a sample of their eyeliner pencil and I tested that after the mascara- also no moving. I'm keeping an eye on this company for ANY new products that pop up!
