Drugstore find du jour

Posted by Robin Abrahams July 6, 2007 03:34 PM

As my friends and family will tell you, I like to give advice about EVERYTHING, not just social matters. So this blog will occasionally feature recipes, book and movie recommendations, and other tips to generally make your life better. Lucky you!

Today's recommendation is a niftly product I found at the drugstore: Neutrogena's Clean Lash Tint mascara. It's not quite a mascara, because it doesn't lengthen your lashes, it just kind of ... emphasizes them more. I can't quite describe it except to say it doesn't clump, it doesn't feel sticky, it doesn't run, and it does make your eyes "pop" without making you look like a Vegas showgirl. I've tried many many brands of "messy carrots" (as my mother and I used to call it) and this is the first one that doesn't look like messy (black) carrots on my eyes. Highly recommended!

To quote Allan Sherman:

And that was good advice, good advice.
Good advice costs nothing, and it's worth the price.
I'm so worldly wise,
I should get the Nobel Prize,
For good advice.

Everybody sing!
