A new game has been introduced to my repertoire of nightly facewashing sports. Now, alongside the Blowing Nostril Bubbles In My Foaming Face Wash game, we have the...
Lash Or Tube game!!
My fascination with removing the L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara continues.
To play Lash Or Tube:
Step 1: Wear L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara. Enjoy the lengthening effect all day without worrying about the raccoon eye effect. Be impressed by this.
Step 2: Dampen a cotton pad with warm water. Hold it against your lashes for a few moments before gently swiping downwards to pull off the tubes.
Step 3: Examine the flecked tubular masterpiece on your cotton pad. Pick a little black dash on your cotton pad. Is it a fallen eyelash? Or is it just the perfectly preserved body of tubular mascara?? Make your best guess. You can even bend the cotton pad and lift it directly from the surface, intact.
Step 4: Poke at the dash with a fingernail and see if you can bisect it with a sawing motion. If it wriggles and separates, it's a tube. If a layer scrapes off but it maintains structural integrity, it's a lash.
SO MUCH FUN.
Don't forget to dab away all the wiggly mini-tentacles that may have accumulated on your cheekbones when swiping.
Oh, and as for actual useful information:
This mascara benefits hugely from two key steps in the application process.
- curling first with an eyelash curler
- waiting for at least thirty seconds or more before applying the top coat. I actually applied my cheek colour between base coat and top coat and got much better results than yesterday. I'm pretty sure this is going to replace my Almay Triple Effect as my go-to mascara from now on.
My friends' reactions (paraphrased):
Mary: "I like how your lashes sweep out at the sides, it's very sultry!"
JM: "Yes, they're... very lovely." <-- boy who didn't even know about the existence of eye makeup remover until I told him this mascara didn't require its use
