Good luck with the crazy landlady, Hil. Sorry moving is not a viable option.

I need a new mascara. I've worn this expensive Estee Lauder More Than Mascara three times and it's already clumpy. I don't like having to comb my eyelashes after I put on mascara. Also, I rub my eyes a lot, apparently, and I need a mascara that won't rub off under my eyes. If such a thing exists. I'm about to start buying the cheapest mascara on the drugstore rack, because I can't afford to keep buying expensive mascara that doesn't do what I need. Maybe I should just get my eyelashes dyed every month; it probably wouldn't be more expensive.

I think I might have a bad contact lense. Put in new ones this morning and the left one is fine but the right...so blurry. Everything is blurry and I can feel a headache starting. Didn't bother me until I got to work and staring at the four computer monitors of my work station but now starting to feel a headache coming on and I haven't even been here an hour yet. Booo. Pondering if it's worth it to use up all my breaks to go home and put in a new one.

Zen, I've had good luck with: [link]

Zen, Blinc might be your mascara. It doesn't smudge or smear. Water removable. If you get sweaty enough or cry too much, the tubes do pop off but cleanly. I use that on my lower and waterproof DiorShow on top. Blinc doesn't give me quite the lashes I want. But it's a great formulation. The waterproof DiorShow will slightly smudge on me. I think my pores exude makeup remover. To sum up, check out Blinc. It removes with warm water and pressure but resists everything else. So horrible allergies or crying will pop it off but even then it doesn't streak.

Where do you guys buy blinc? I looked around, but nobody seems to know what it is!

I check online for a place? Portland had a lot. But I know mom's bought it here.

At worst, online. But I'm trying really hard to buy as local as possible.

Blinc should be available at Sephora. checks website Yep, Sephora carries it in stores. Oooh, and there's a Blinc liquid liner. I may need to try that.

I need new gel liner. I had some Clinique stuff that I loved and I need to replace it. Any recs?

L'Oreal had a good gel liner out right now.

I've had rotten luck with my usual black liquid liner from NYX - every tube I've gotten recently has been weirdly thick and clumpy. Which means I yet AGAIN need to go on a quest to find the perfect black liquid liner. Dammit, MAC, why did you discontinue LiquidLast?

I have a Blinc liner, Jilli. Want mail? I don't like the delivery but the product seems about as nifty as you'd imagine.
