Oh, THE HORROR. Okay, let me back up. I haven't forgotten that some of you wanted before-and-after shots of my new favorite $5 mascara.
Oh no, I remembered. I've just been too busy staring at my makeup-less
mole eyes, fine lines, and pores to get around to posting. Not fishing
for compliments, y'all, I just call it as I see it. But this is how much
I love you, I am posting nearly a half dozen close-up pictures of my
Manson lamps for all to enjoy. BUT I DIGRESS.
Above, you will find the "before". I have pretty thick lashes, but they are lighter at the ends and I am addicted to mascara. So, here are the afters...
Do you know how hard it is to take a non-crazy close up of your eyes? Hard. But anyway, this is one good coat of mascara, and I think the results are pretty great. Honestly? Every bit as good, and I think a bit better, than the $24 mascara I had been using (it was a gift). What's that? You want more crazy eye pictures? FINE.
Gah, I need to get my eyebrows groomed.
Enough of that! Here's a pretty boring outfit shot, to cleanse the palate.
I am curious, do you guys like the makeup stuff? Want more painful before-and-afters and reviews? You know we'll basically do whatever you tell us to. Well, almost whatever.

top: anthropologie (shockingly similar here)
jeans: Pilcro Stet Slim Bootcut
clogs: c/o Miz Mooz, style is the "Rain" clog (same color, but different style here)

I love make up almost more than life itself (though I don't actually like to LOOK like I'm wearing make up - go figure) so YES, I'd love more make up stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys can't have locks of my hair. We won't do that. (Well, Marianne would.)
ReplyDeleteI would totally give them locks of your hair. Hold still.
DeleteLove the makeup posts. You know I'm obsessed!
ReplyDeleteDo you curl your lashes? I always forget and it's just another clunky thing to carry around with me... but gosh it makes a huge difference!
I do, religiously. Mostly because one side is naturally curlier than the other, so if I don't curl them my eyes look really wonky.
DeleteI love the makeup whatnot with befores and afters. MOAR!
ReplyDeleteI like the makeup posts! Especially because it's time for me to replace my mascara, and even $18 for the one I've been using seems too expensive. I can do $5, though.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you like it! Sometimes Target has it as cheap as $4.
Deleteyou are damn adorable.
ReplyDeleteNo, YOU.
DeleteYou are so pretty and I think the make up posts are fun! I also love your outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou are awfully sweet, thank you!
DeleteMakeup stuff is kewl, but for me it's mostly in an observer kind of way -- raised to "put on my face" every single day as a teen (small-town Texass high school, doncha know), I abandoned that time-consuming routine three days into freshman year of college and now wear makeup maaaaybe two or three times a year. It makes my mama sad, and it's not that I don't realize I could look better (or at least, more awake?) with makeup, but I just can't deal ... I basically just love whatever y'all do. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I love makeup! Looks like a great mascara. I love the Mabelline The Falsies, myself. But, dude, where I live, Mabelline mascara's are almost $30!! That's $25 US!! CRAY-CRAY!!
ReplyDelete$25!? That is NUTS. Man, I want to start some kind of black market cheap makeup ring.
DeleteYeah, that is very annoying - the RRP in Australia for it is around $20(AUD & USD are roughly comparable right now). We pay so much more for cosmetics here [insert angry fist shake]. I bought it though after you girls recommended it (with some trepidation, as i have not liked any of their mascaras before, and i *hated* The Falsies), and i do really like it. Needs several coats for sure, but gives definition without clump. Also, your eyes look way better than mine naked. And i love makeup reviews from people whose opinions i trust and which are not coerced, so yes, more please!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like it, but again blown away that Maybelline is so expensive there. Crazypants!
DeleteI love makeup so I say bring on the makeup posts. My wimpy lashes and I are glad you turned us on to this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love the makeup posts too! Love your coat.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so sweet! We will definitely be doing more makeup posts in the future, so stand by.
