goldilocks and the mascaras


i kind of feel like the goldilocks of mascara--right now, nothing is good enough. diorshow blackout? too messy. diorshow regular? meh after the beautiful, striking blackout (why does it have to be so messy?). lancôme hypnose? i was loving it, but now for some reason, the color is getting on my lids and i hate that--it's a huge pet peeve of mine. bare escentuals big tease and magic wand brushless mascaras? i hate them so much, and it pains me to say that because i pretty much love everything in the bare escentuals line.

so i am kind of at a loss--and tired of spending $25 on mascara. i could go back to lancôme definicils, but like i said, i am tired of spending $25 on mascara and not being thrilled with the results. is it too much to ask for a good mascara that isnt a ridiculous price? i dont really balk at the price tags on beauty products--i know that with these sometimes you have to pay the piper, although there are really good products to be found in the drugstore-- but the prices of mascara kind of bug me, especially when you have to constantly replace. so i decided to try and old drug store staple: max factor 2000 calorie. i remember using this years ago and liking it, but we'll see. at this point, nothing mascara-related is making me happy. and if i end up hating this, oh well--it cost me $5.
