Ma SCARE Ra
Mascara. It is one of my favorite products, like makes the ‘trapped on a deserted island’ list favorites. It can completely improve your whole day, and make your face go from crappy morning to glam queen in a few solid applications. With this in mind I present my least favorite, waste of money, over-hyped purchase.
Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes
Somethings seem like a good idea. Spending $28 on mascara that is applied with a pretty amazing looking wand from a glamorous brand name seemed like one of them. Unfortunately, once I got it home I found myself picking apart my clumped lashes using a safety pin (not something I recommend to those with shaky hands.) To be fair I thought maybe there was just a learning curve with this, so I tried it for about a month. On the days when the application went well I looked great… for a few hours. I would catch my reflection a few hours later and discover that most of the product had deposited itself under my eyes. I looked like a crazy raccoon-eyed Olsen twin, which may be a good look for some people but not for me.
I wanted to love it, I really did. But like most of the relationships I’ve had, that I really wanted to work, it just didn’t. Not even a little. I’ve read the reviews on Sephora and some people love it, but I just don’t think it’s worth the money. Cute concept, poor execution. Zero Stars!
