Mascaras and Magazines

I have consistently read 3 magazines, front to back, for years: Home Life, Taste of Home (Thank you mom so much for the subscription every Christmas), and Real Simple- I  bought Real Simple at the airport last week as a distraction from feeling sick- A couple of nights ago I could not sleep so I grabbed it and started reading- Pg. 93 reads:

"Road Test Mascaras- Real Simple staffers tried out more than 100 of the latest and greatest lash enhancers. These nine did the trick."


I talked about Mascara in THIS blog post (just ran out of 'Falsie' mascara) and am ready to try something new again- Falsie worked out great (Thanks Victoria for the recommendation)- I was toooo impatient to 'season' the Falsie brush (I like to have a rough, caked with mascara brush immediately and do not want to start fresh with a clean brush that you have to put on a zillion coats of mascara to make it look like you are wearing it- I would dip my 'seasoned' Mary Kay brush into the Falsie Mascara- Yes I know I did not get the full Falsie affect BUT my impatience got the better of me)

Back to Real Simple and their Mascara experiment- Here is what they said (I am getting ready to order Diorshow from e-bay because it is $4. cheaper than from dior.com)........................
