Nik:  I’ve tried a million mascaras, but always end up with itchy, irritated eyes.  I was about to accept a life with no eye makeup when my friend told me not to be ridiculous and suggested Kevyn Aucoin’s Volumizing Mascara.  It changed my world people.  The teensy wand wraps each lash in a blanket of black, creating the longest, thickest lashes.  It doesn’t clump and it’s smudge-free (not that it matters because it doesn’t irritate my eyes so I’m not clawing them out).  I’ve never gotten so many compliments.
Alex:  I use Benefit ‘They’re Real’ but I will give Kevyn a try.
