The Inability To Live Without Mascara



Got my new tube of Clarins Fix Mascara today. Staff discounted. Happy.

I've oily lids and mascara tends to run after a few hours, leaving me with appalling undereye circles. Waterproof mascaras are slightly more helpful but unless they're sebum resistant, I will get a real shock in the mirror at the end of the work day.

I went through a phase of wearing super heavy mascara and it wouldn't have been possible without Fix Mascara. It's a clear gel mascara that is water and sebum resistant. You swipe it on as the last coat and that's it, smudge-free till at least after work, if not longer. Even after dinner, shopping and coffee, it will at most leave a smoky eye effect which can look pretty nice.

Also works as an eyebrow gel to smooth unruly sticking-out strays.

One thing I stupidly didn't do was clean the wand after each use. So my last tube became a dubious grey. Well I've learnt my lesson.
