Like most girls in the south, we won’t leave the comfort of our homes without applying a coat or two of mascara.  (Some people won’t even let their husbands see them without it!)  Needless to say, we love mascara because it lengthens and adds definition to lashes. It also enhances the lash line and makes your eyes appear more prominent. Modern day mascaras are very different from ones of the past when you only had regular or waterproof to choose from.  Not to mention your color choices were black, very black or black/brown.  With many formulas and colors out there today, we’re sure you’ll find the right one for you.
