Why mascara ads piss me off and other eyelash rants...


Ok so does anyone actually believe that the lashes on this girl in the ad are real? You don't? Well neither do I. And do you believe that if you use this mascara that your lashes will look like this? Of course you don't because you are not an idiot. But yet these ads are everywhere and they annoy the crap out of me. This one especially strikes a nerve because it's not even believable. But then again I would never spend $30 on a tube of mascara anyway. Truth be told most mascara formulations are exactly the same... only difference? The type of applicator you use. That makes all the difference in the world. So find the one that works best for you and then your only other choice is waterproof or regular and color. My favorite... Clinique High Lengths Mascara, it has my most favorite applicator EVER!

Fake Eyelashes... yes, I am a fan for those special occasions and such but come on already. With gals like the Kardashians and Jersey Shore girls with their spider lashes, enough already. If you're not a reality TV star and or a model in a mascara ad you just look ridiculous. I have done a few photo shoots and have been known to rock the lashes for Halloween but I always dress to the occasion if you will. I attended a formal wedding in May of this year and rocked some lashes just to give me a little more than I have naturally but I went for a more sparse, naturally looking lash. My boyfriend of 5 years didn't even realize I had them on and that to me is a win! He likes me very low maintenance! (Love him for that) So ladies, I'm all about rocking lashes but be yourself. Don't do the spider lash look as seen below.


Enough said!
