Well ladies, I've just ended a long-term love affair. After almost ten years of commitment, my eye began to wander. My urge to stray became so great that I decided to no longer fight it. My beloved mascara and I finally called it quits.
For years I kept company with L'Oreal Voluminous mascara. I was blissfully happy during those years, and I had eyes for no other. Then, suddenly, I was possessed by an alarming thought, "What if Voluminous is not The One"? Did I rush into a commitment too soon? Is there another one out there for me? Haunted by these thoughts, I decided that Voluminous and I needed "a break". I assured Voluminous that it wasn't him, it was me, and that this experiment might actually strengthen our relationship. In the back of my mind I believed Voluminous and I would find our way back to each other.
While Voluminous and I were on our "break", I met Lash Blast. I picked him up at Walmart for $6.49. At first he didn't seem my type, but I decided not to judge him by his packaging alone. It is, after all, what's inside that counts. So, I decided to overlook his loud, orange packaging and gimmicky fat wand and give him a go. Sure, he wasn't as sleek and handsome as Voluminous, but he could perform, (if you know what I mean).
Lash Blast's rubber bristles gently combed and separated my lashes as it deposited color. The result was a thick and gorgeous fan of lashes that was soft to the touch. A single coat was all I needed for a natural daytime look. For a dramatic evening look I simply added a second coat. Even on the most humid summer days, Lash Blast never migrated, ran or smudged.
It was a tough decision, but when Lash Blast washed off with Cetaphil and water, I knew it was curtains for Voluminous and me. Can you blame me for wanting to be with a mascara that doesn't require a separate eye makeup remover? Funny, I never realized how high-maintenance Voluminous was all these years. So for now I'm going steady with Lash Blast....at least until Revlon 3-D goes on sale.
