The Perfect Mascara
I have a love-hate relationship with waterproof mascara. Who doesn’t? Spending a Saturday night scrubbing it away with industrial-strength eye makeup remover is not my idea of fun. Yet, neither is the alternative: mid day raccoon-eyes.
But my pursuit to find the greatest mascara ended when I tried Clinique’s new Lash Power mascara released last week. The makeup-counter lady suggested it, and my impulse buy paid off. It does everything that great mascara should, yet stayed glued to my eyes while I watched Atonement and through the rainstorm that I had to endure on my way home. And it washes off with warm water and a gentle rub.
The company claims it’s some thermal-sensitive technology that does the trick. Whatever. I call it magic and an answer to my prayers. — Andrea Carayiannas

Best mascara which looks great and can be taken off with only water! is the Japanese brand Blinc. Clinique’s seems like a clone of the Blinc original. Blinc is $24.00 and includes shipping on their site, or $24.00 in stores.

I have always used lancome but I have to admit that clinique is just as good if not better. Cheaper too!
