Gone, but not forgotten.

I fully understand how the beauty industry works, having worked in it myself for over five years. I still, however, can’t help but feel devastated when a brand takes one of my makeup bag staples off the market. I went hunting for my favorite mascara, Neutrogena’s Clean Tint, this weekend, only to find that store shelves are now void of the once-stocked product. I’m horrified it might be gone for good, so to be safe, I’m going on a hunt to stock up. Here’s why I love it so much:

1. Its super-light formula goes on without clumping or making my eyelashes look spiky.
2. It doesn’t smudge under my eyes like other formulas I’ve tried. I won’t name names, but I’ve been very dissappointed with some super-hyped brands.
3. It makes my eyelashes look suuuuuper long in an I-grew-them-myself kind of way.
4. It cost me $6 per tube, which kept my lashes lengthened and beautified for over 3 months.

Ladies (and gents) – if you stumble across any leftovers anywhere, keep a girl informed over here!

Lovely lashes.

I tend to save the va-va-voom effect for nighttime, opting for a much more subtle approach to makeup for the day-to-day. My choice of mascara for my 9-5? Neutrogena’s Clean Lash Tint. At $7, it’s a total steal, but it does so much more than just save me money – it darkens and lengthens my lashes, making them look super defined and, in the process, making me look wide awake, no matter how much sleep I got.
