Things I love today: Best mascara ever

I have tried all kinds of mascara, and nothing beats Lancome’s Flextencils. Why Lancome insists on giving all their products bizarre, unmemorable names is another post for another time. This mascara is just perfect: think enough to do the trick without looking like Tammy Faye. Plus, it is water-resistant, curls your lashes, never runs and doesn’t irritate sensitive eyes.

Before you buy, sign up for the Lancome email list and wait for a good promotion. You’ll get great sample offers weekly, much better than the in-store or Sephora deals. Every cosmetic company should offer online deals as good as Lancome’s. Why do Clinique, etc. require you to visit a department store to get the goods? Philosophy is another great email list and Stila’s is almost there. Any other email list suggestions? Share them in the comments section below.
