girly things

I sodding hate mascara. I. hate. mascara. I have very long lashes, so the clumps tend to gather obviously on the very ends of them and teeter there like they're enjoying the thrill and possibly considering some kind of abseiling mission into my eyes. And no matter how careful I am to choose decentish brands or to look for packaging that has the words 'no clumps!' on it, THERE ARE ALWAYS CLUMPS. Other people manage it. Maybe my lashes are cursed. Despite it all, I retain a sense of hopeless gullibility that stems from the desperate hope that one day, one day, I will find non-clumping mascara.

Revlon: NO CLUMPS THIS TIME! Come on, baby, you can trust me.
Me: I don't know, I've been hurt before.
Revlon: But I've changed! New formula! I've had classes, I know better now, you know I love you...
Me: All right then.
Clumps: *duly appear*

But I have to wear mascara because I can't afford to get my lashes tinted until the school holidays end and I can start tutoring again. Grr. Argh.

And now: the teaser for Avatar 3x04 'The Beach' = greatest thing ever to pass in front of your humble eyes, y/n? MY PSYCHOPATHIC FIRE PRINCESS GIRLFRIEND* IS WEARING BATHERS AND PLAYING VOLLEYBALL, YOU GUYS.

*Oh, whatever, be quiet, you know you have crushes that are even more shameful.

Okay, HERE IS THE TRICK. It was shown to me by a very nice gay gentleman at the MAC counter in Halifax. Take a tissue and - seriously - blot the mascara wand once you take it out of the bottle. THEN, put the mascara on. You'll have to use more swipes, but there actually is enough inside the bristles to coat your eyelashes, and when you blot there's not so much that they clump. It is the BEST ever.
