Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Okay, I know I've referred to this mascara before, as it is only my most trusted beauty product so far. I can't believe I haven't shared it with you yet! I've used this loyally for a few years now, though once in a while I switch it up for variety's sake and to try new things - but this is my GO-TO mascara when I just want to apply it quick and KNOW it will work.
I've gotten compliments on my lashes from department store makeup salesgirls, an esthetician at a spa giving me a facial who said she couldn't believe that it wouldn't budge after she had that hot towel sitting on my face, and others.
This mascara doesn't flake, clump, or smear. It builds fabulously for volume and doesn't get all hard and nasty-feeling when I apply my typical 3 or so coats (heh-heh). It looks soft and pretty. I love it. LOVE. Whenever people tell me "wow, you're lashes are so pretty!", I say "it's the mascara!". Really, anyone can have pretty lashes with this stuff.
Retail Price: $6.49 (drugstores and superstores everywhere)
