Jean’s Mascaras: #1 through #4

[This series started Sunday .]

#1: Avon Spectra Lash

• Ease of Application: Very easy.
• Brush Design: Long soft bristles and unique application.
• Lengthens: Yes.
• Volumizes: Yes.
• Clumps: No.
• Ease of Removal: Very easy.
• Comments: An Oprah pick. Swivel base allows you to dial up the volume. Richest formula I've yet found. Goes on smoothly and encourages lashes to curl.

#2: Rimmel Lash Maxxx

• Ease of Application: Very easy.
• Brush Design: Plastic comb applicator.
• Lengthens: Yes.
• Volumizes: Yes.
• Clumps: No.
• Ease of Removal: Easy.
• Comments: My #1 pick for those who like plastic bristles. Formula encourages lash curling.

#3: Maybelline Pulse Perfection

• Ease of Application: Easy.
• Brush Design: Has battery to oscillate the brush. Brush has longish plastic bristles which I prefer to use without the battery-power – but that’s just me.
• Lengthens: Yes.
• Volumizes: Yes.
• Clumps: No.
• Ease of Removal: Easy.
• Comments: Kind of fun to use. Good mascara formula.

#4: Clinique High Impact

• Ease of Application: Easy.
• Brush Design: Very nice brush with long soft bristles. Excellent “wiping ring” assures just the right amount of product.
• Lengthens: Yes.
• Volumizes: Yes.
• Clumps: No.
• Ease of Removal: Easy
• Comments: Would have ranked higher except for higher-than-average price for a simple mascara.

Tomorrow: # 5 through #9.
