Now-- this might all sound like image management. And perhaps it is. But it's not a humility thing-- I am not playing the martyr here. If anything, it's a pride issue. I LOVE flaunting the good deals I get. And I come by that honestly (which is an awful term because of what the opposite would imply) as my mom might be the only person alive cheaper than me.
So with that background-- I give you my product review of Last Blast Mascara.
I have seen commercials and print ads for this mascara for the past several months and I was intrigued by the design of the hard plastic applicator. It looked like it would really be superior to the soft plastic (nylon??? I don't know what it is!) of traditional mascara applicators. I thought it would lead to less clumps and offer beautiful lashes that didn't stick together in a Tammy Faye manner.Well, I was wrong. It's really bad. Clump city.
The thing that REALLY irks me is that I payed full price. It was $7. SEVEN DOLLARS! That is two pairs of slacks for Nick at Goodwill. That is seven sleepers at a consignment sale at 50% off day. Let's face it folks, it's HALF a copay for the bajillion doctors appointments my kids have. (three appts. last week alone-- and that was just Josiah) That's one week of lunch club.
To quote a very good friend of mine who was recently disappointed by some money she'd spent without the expected outcome, "It's like I just took that money and flushed it down the toilet."
So ladies (I am assuming this would only apply to the ladies... I don't know the lifestyles of all my blog-readers) step back from Last Blast Mascara. Don't believe the commercials. It's not worth $7, and probably not even $1.75 if I was to get it 75% off.
