Beauty Box 5

I put my mascara through the ringer.

Sometime I’m rushing while applying it in my rearview mirror on workdays where I’ve slept in too late, sometimes I’m coating lashes in between using the wand as a microphone to sing along to my Katy Perry playlist before going out, and sometimes I’m just swiping it on in the dark of morning to make walking the dog down the street more fabulous. Personally, I’m don’t want to spend forever perfecting my eye makeup and the more lash “oomph!” I can knock out in one swipe, the better. 

I read that Carrie Underwood, a lush lashed lady’s idol, said that she’s usually wearing 4 different kinds of mascara at once, but there’s no way my wallet or even my arm wants to spend that much money and time applying! I like to stick to just one product and this month’s newest eyelash contender- Revlon’s Bold Lacquer, after rigorous routine trial time, really earned its multi-tasking reputation!

Being a little nutty about brushes, I was so pleased to find the wand fluffy and the adorable peacock-colored tube shined out of my makeup bag, as if to say, “Use me!” (since I’m not sure what sound peacocks make otherwise). Upon applying, my blond lashes were dramatically darker, separated and lifted with one use, saving time and leaving my curler sitting alone. Since I decided a little more length wouldn’t hurt, I tested another coat and loved that it added volume without pesky clumps to fix.

Rounding out my testing, I made it to the end of the day without flaking or smudges, and full lashes that didn’t need a touch-up, and that was enough for me to check all the boxes on Revlon and move it into my makeup bag rotation, which is no easy feat!

So, girl-to-girl, don’t be afraid of really testing your products. And remember, keep your standards high and your lashes lush.

Xoxo,
