I've been a long time devotee to Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. I have somewhat thick lashes and I think their brush works really well for me. I love the "blackest black" but I also use "brownish black" on occasion. I've noticed that every year InStyle magazine lists them as the best budget mascara, if not the best mascara period. There is a reason it's been around a long time. I've tried some of the new mascaras that have the rubber brushes and they don't work for me at all.
Lately I am loving Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara. The formula is thin enough to get into your lashes really well to coat them, and I like the brush too. It reminds me of the Maybelline brush. I got a couple of samples with purchases I made last year and I've decided it's time to purchase the full size. It costs $14 and I noticed it was rated 4 out of 5 stars on Clinique's website.
I never thought tweezers were that important until I lost my Tweezerman tweezers for about 5 days last week. I searched everywhere in my bathroom 2 or 3 times and even had my husband emptying out drawers to help me find them! We have special rules about him borrowing my tweezers. He knows there is a particular place that they belong and he must put them back where he found them. I have had so many tweezers that didn't grip well, or just broke hair off when you grabbed it. My Tweezerman tweezers are the best I've ever had. I had been reading about them in magazines for years. They always made InStyle's "best of" list. I just couldn't imagine spending $20 for a pair of tweezers! So I got the petite size and spent only $12. I mean, why do you need full size tweezers? They accomplish the exact same thing and I think the petite size are much more manageable and easy to use.
