Maybe I should start, though. I tried the Lash Stiletto - loved the inky blackness and the length & definition, but it didn't give anything in the way of volume (I guess that's what the lash primer is for, right?)HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-13878315038887167842009-10-26T13:25:58.112-04:002009-10-26T13:25:58.112-04:00Seems I am always on the lookout for *the perfect*...Seems I am always on the lookout for *the perfect* mascara and right now I love Maybelline Lash Stiletto. I have also recently discovered the beauty of using a lash primer first. Helps mascara wear longer and better and also helps keep lashed curled. I have used both Lancome and Clinique primers and prefer Lancome.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786838392389718536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-67124349597347674822009-10-25T18:30:42.994-04:002009-10-25T18:30:42.994-04:00Anon - glad Gigi could help.

Since the price was low and I have a B&M where I can return easily, I got sizes 8 & 10 and plan to return 1. I wear an 8 in JC pants, but took a 10 in the charmeuse pencil skirt, so I wanted to have options. My personal sizing with skirts depends on the cut. I usually take an 8, and that charmeuse one may have been out of whack since it was unlined charmeuse and I wanted it loose enough to not have to wear a slip or spanx.HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-74855648721051286002009-10-25T16:47:12.367-04:002009-10-25T16:47:12.367-04:00Heidi - Thanks re: the skirt and what to wear. ?...Heidi - Thanks re: the skirt and what to wear. ? -- how do j.crew sizes run in skirts - I've found them fairly consistent in pants.

My sister used to be a huge fan of Definicils - and as many mascaras as I have tried, I have never actually tried that one.<br /><br />mrs.anketell - I picked up DiorShow once, but as soon as I smelled it, I put it back - I just can't do any kind of "rose" smell - I got a very sensitive nose way back when pregnant and it stuck!<br /><br />Cleo26 - so that routine explains your gorgeous eyelashes, ok. I have heard that the eyelash extensions are just fab, but I hate to commit to something like that and then have to keep it up. I am curious about Latisse, and would love to hear feedback from anyone about it.<br /><br />Pamela - you'll have to go to mall *again*? oh darn. :)<br /><br />DaniBP - Party on!!<br /><br />Suburban Princess - hope you like it!<br /><br />yogagirl - I know, you love your LORAC!!<br /><br />Jemma Ruby - I tried the L'Oreal tubing double-sided (the one that GingerSnap loves) and it's great, but it just took too much time to do both sides some mornings - I like my swipe, swipe, swipe, wiggle, wiggle routine. and I am lazy. :)<br /><br />Anon @ 1:17 - TY! I need to wait to see exactly what the color looks like and how the fit is IRL, but literally the first outfit that came to mind was black turtleneck, tights, & flats/boots/heels with some sparkly jewelry for Xmas Eve. Also with a white button up shirt, maybe a gray Michelle cardi, tights. In warmer weather, just a simple boyfried tee and sandals. I think it could be a fun 4-season piece. In terms of colors that would work with it, I think bright citron would be gorgeous. But I'll have to experiment when it comes (tuesday) assuming it works. You're right - it is such a good deal now!! And as A Bigger Closet pointed out (who inspired me to order it), it's lined - yay.<br /><br />Anon@2:16 - Hello fit model! :) I haven't tried it on, sorry. But it store it looked like it could be on the boxy side. Gigi's post on the top said it seemed to run TTS or a bit larger. HTH!<br /><br />Summerilla - OOPS! that's what I forgot to mention - this is what I got at NM with the coupon - but oh, they were jerkies there - I didn't realize until she was ready to ring me up that the $50 was off 1 item, not total purchase (contrary to what the coupon actually said) so I got the mascara for free, but had to pay for the other 2 items - which is ok b/c they suck and I'm taking those 2 things back this week. the SA said that there was nothing she could do and no one who could change it b/c the registers were set up that way. And I didn't have the time to argue b/c I had to leave to get back home for the bus stop. So PO-ed at NM. I will not shop there for cosmetics again. The previous time I was looking for BB at that mall I went to Saks and the woman helping me was so nice and so helpful.HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-37289917358214974152009-10-25T14:29:25.484-04:002009-10-25T14:29:25.484-04:00I definitely want to try the Bobbi Brown.

Not sure about my usually 8 or to go with a size 6 like I have in my garland cami. I wear an 8 in the Francis but no store close by....unsure.

I did try the vibrating maybelling kind and it does work, but it is a bit of a pain and way too expensive for how much it needs replaced.

I will definitively try the Bobby Brown, the fact that you can reapply sounds like a nice feature.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.com
