【Go ahead--be a crybaby!!】
I have this huge mascara pet peeve. Clumps.
You know, the kind where when you stick the brush to your lashes, you have to use the old stick pin trick to separate 'em (my Mom isn't reading this, is she?).
Or you can wipe the brush, but who really wants to do that every morning? I've tried so many different mascaras.
My favorite for years has been Clinique's Naturally Glossy.
When it comes to makeup, I'm no penny pincher. I pay a lot of money for some of my stuff. Mascara however is different.
Im pretty anal about tossing my tube every two to three months, like recommended by doctors.
I've never found a drugstore line of mascaras that does not clump.
It claims to have some kind of wipey do-hickey (the scientific term) which allows you to apply the mascara without clumps.
Hmmm, interesting.
This makeup junkie couldn't resist and tossed it into her cart.
It comes in a waterproof and washable formula. I chose the washable because I don't particularly care for waterproof mascaras.
The Wipey Do-Hickey...does it work?
This wipey do-hickey thing I speak of is Maybelline's double wiping system.
I've never seen another mascara which offers this. Something down in the tube pulls excess mascara from the wand, leaving the wand with a minimal amount of product on it...the amount you need to apply to your lashes.
I didn't expect it to work!!
When I pulled it out, the brush was nice and clean.
The mascara applied cleanly, with no clumps!! Okay, maybe at first it would, when the mascara was nice and fresh.
But a couple of months down the road, and I'd be wiping away, right?
I purposely waited a few weeks to write this review so I could fully experiment with this phenomenon.
The brush is still wiping clean every time, allowing the product to apply so smoothly.
No more clumps!! I love it!!!!★★★★★
