My girls are always telling me they hate the way my mascara looks on me. They say it's all clumpy and looks like a bunch of spider legs. As sweet as they are, they have a way of telling me things I'd just as soon not hear. For instance, one time I was driving my car and as I was holding onto the steering wheel my youngest daughter started flicking the fat (or I guess the loose skin where a tricep once resided) under my arms. She was as sweet as can be and I know she didn't mean it as harshly as I took it. I looked over at her with a look of "thanks a lot!" And we both started laughing. However, the point being, I know where I stand with my girls and with the way they perceive how I look and how I should look.

After years of my girls nagging me about my clumpy mascara I thought I'd start looking for a new brand. This was tricky because being a contact lens wearer my eyes are sensitive. The one I had stuck with all those mortifying years (according to the girls) didn't bother my eyes at all. In addition, I thought it made my short, skinny little blonde eyelashes look so volumized. I guess I was fine with the clumps. At least you could see them! That is until I found Stila Major Lash Mascara. I was so amazed how it just glided on and my lashes came out looking gorgeous. No clumps; no little triangles of stuck together hairs; just long, black separated lashes. The wand has a brush on it that's about the size of a toothbrush (that's a tad bit of an exaggeration), but for me it gave me so much control. I loved the large brush. It was easy to use on both the top and bottom lashes. The size of the brush helped, not hindered; and believe me I have some little eyes! But with Stila Major Lash Mascara my eyes look huge. I finally have gorgeous eyes, and my daughters finally approve!
