Today is Earth Day. I'm not celebrating it. You should be living every day like it's Earth Day anyway!

When I was in Vegas, I went a little crazy with buying mascara. I've been searching for the perfect mascara for me -- thickens but isn't clumpy and doesn't smudge.

I used to shu uemura's fiber extension and lancome's hypnose. I still really like hypnose, but fiber extension seems to be being phased out.

I got a free Sephora lash plumper mascara -- LOVED IT! Bought another tube. I get thick natural looking lashes. (My lashes are long and poker straight. I don't usually wear mascara if I am wearing glasses, and all my sunglasses are smudged from my eyelashes. It's annoying!)

Of the other mascaras I bought, I am using Lancome's Fatale Brillant...the diamant one. It's cool seeing sparkles on your eyelashes, but that stuff is THICK. It uses a lash comb rather than a standard brush. I am also using shu uemura's precise volume waterproof in purple. It sucks. I don't see more volume when I use it, but there is really good lash separation. And I definitely don't see much purple. I bought some Givenchy Captive'Eyes Mascara in purple black. I think I tried it because I remember using some mascara where I could really see the purple. in that case, I'd better use up the rest before it goes bad. I give that one a thumbs up.

I always use the Shiseido mascara base, too. Don't ask me if it makes things better because I don't know. But I look like seeing that my eye lashes are still curled after I put on the base. I use the Shiseido and shu uemura eyelash curlers. I'm not sure which I like better. I have the shu mini eyelash curler which I haven't used it. I can't remember the makeup tip I got for using it. Booo.

One product I really regret buying is the Frederik Fekkai Protect Rx package from Bath and Body Works! It leaves a greasy film on my hair (and in my bathtub...holy slippery!) and my head itches. I'd throw it away if I i wasn't so cheap.
