Mascara

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect mascara. It has to be at least water resistant (because my eyes water a tad when I put the contacts in) but preferably waterproof (especially if I'm on vacation and snorkeling). It can't clump or flake. Lancome is an ok standby, but it tends to flake, so I get frustrated and start searching again. The list of absolutely nots include anything Clinique, the Big Bad stuff from Benefits, Fresh, Sue Devitt, Estee Lauder, Red Earth, Smashbox and Bobbie Brown. Some funky stuff called Bourjois Pump up the Volume will do in a pinch, but it smudges. So......today I bought some MAC Loud Lash. We'll see how that works. It probably will, because after she sold it to me, the little makeup lady told me it was being discontinued (but they have tons of it left). So if I like it, I better go back and by a bunch (like Elaine and her sponges [remember Seinfeld?])
