Praise the Heavens, I have found the holy grail of mascaras!

Kiss Me Mascara is absolutely the best mascara I have ever tried.  I have been using waterproof mascara as a standard for many years because I am so oily that I always end up with raccoon eyes by mid afternoon.  Every waterproof mascara I have tried has also flaked or shown up at least a little under my eyes by days end.  Plus, taking mascara off, even with remover (baby oil, mascara remover, soap, you name it) doesn't work 100% and I would always wake the next morning with a little bit of raccoon eyes. 

I have known about Kiss Me mascara for years but have been too afraid to try it.  I had a friend who would take it off dry with her fingers and it just looked too much to me like she was pulling out eyelashes too.  Well, I was at Sephora a couple weekends ago and got a free sample size.  I cannot believe I waited so long to try it!  The wand isn't the best, and tends to lend to clumping, but I have never had a problem removing clumps with my fingers with other mascaras and this one is no different.  Plus, now that I have used it for a good week and a half, the wand doesn't cause clumping anymore (less product on it, I'm assuming).  So, it's not the best application in the world, but with a little practice (very little) you can achieve the look you like.  I like nice, full thick looking lashes and can acheive that look with several coats. 

The amazing thing is that the mascara doesn't come off, yet it comes off super-easy when you actually want to remove it.  I have cried buckets and had one little strand (tube) come off, but no raccoon eyes.  When I wash my face at night, I just press my fingers on my lashes and continue to rinse and it comes off so effortlessless and completely.  I haven't lost any lashes (well, no more than I normally see, which is maybe one or two lashes a week, again, which is normal for me).

My mom tried it and loves it too.  I just ordered a full size ($24) for me and mom (as a little gift), and know I'll be using this mascara from now on! 

Try it if you have raccoon eye issues or hate getting the mascara off at night.
