After asking various friends of mine, it appears that many women today, independent of age, are still looking for the ultimate, glamorous look that will enhance their looks and finally give them that gorgeous look that we have been trying to achieve for so many years. 

Well who doesn’t? 

Take mascara for example 

How many of us have more than one tube of mascara amongst our cosmetics? Isn’t it true that we want the one that lifts and separates the lashes; the one that enriches and elongates by hundreds of percentages and of course, most importantly the one that doesn’t smudge and is totally waterproof? 

Well, to be honest, at this point in time I have about five tubes of mascara in my drawer and I can only assume that some of you or maybe most of you have even more. 

MAC products are high on my list of cosmetic favourites 

So far I have been using the mascara called MAC X – for me this is my very best. My lashes are really fine and in addition I happen to have one set of eyelashes (and an eye brow) that is totally blonde (from birth) and the other is black in colour, so a mascara for me has to work really well in order to cover my very blonde eyelashes. 

I must add that dying the lashes works for about a week and then I am back to square one again. The MAC X certainly does the trick and if I spend time in the morning and carefully apply the mascara, it remains looking good for the entire day. 

The eyelashes look natural and there is no clumping or smudging 

The brush is shaped like an elongated cone and works well for me. 

Being a Mac fan I was given the MAC ZOOM FAST mascara to try out. I was rather disappointed with this as the mascara appeared to “clump”. 

It lengthened the lashes but I felt that the resulting look wasn’t nearly as natural as the MAC X. 

While travelling overseas, I discovered that I had left my makeup purse at home so I rushed into the BODY SHOP to buy a few products

Among the items I bought was their DIVIDE & MULTIPLY mascara. Not only was I pleasantly surprised at the price but in addition the product was pretty good too. 

I love the plastic, bristle brush that provides an excellent application to the eye lashes without clumping or smudging. Another great choice for fine lashes.
