Thirty Lashes for Revlon
Do not buy Revlon COLORSTAY, Overtime, Lash Tint --Couleur Pour Cils, -- mascara. As annoyingly long as the name of the product, is the length of time this “couleur” stays on your lashes.
You can’t get rid of it.
I tried every product I own that is a makeup remover and nothing happens. The color stays and stays and stays, while the lashes clump and clump and clump until you look like Tammy Faye Bakker.
If you are extremely lucky or unlucky, eventually your lashes commit suicide and jump off your eyelids. The aggregate weight of the product causes a heavy burden for lashes. Apparently the mascara is impossible to remove and lasts so long it gets dusty and tacky to the touch – until eventually one’s lashes become thick spider legs – ugly and foolish looking.
I have found only one way to get rid of this crap from my eyelashes, and that is to scrape it off with my fingernails, hoping I don’t pull out the lashes during this tricky feat.
I’ve found a plethora of “coulered cils” on my pillowcase in the morning, but the lashes that are still attached to my lids are also still quite black, thick and horrid.
My eyelashes now look like miniature starfish and I’m doomed to have them look like this until they fall out or I pull them out.
Who would I recommend this product to? Men with thin, dark mustaches that are turning gray and they want to look youthful and dye their mustache black – forever.

Glad I read this before I went out shopping... looks like you saved me lots of hassles :)
Oh no. I just bought some TODAY. It was on clearance, for like 3 bucks! How could I pass that up? Damn. I should not go to Target before blog reading! OYE!
I cant stand a mascara that simply wont wipe off with make-up remover.
As I was reading, I was ready to comment that I'll do my best to stay away from the stuff, but the last paragraph made me wonder if I should get some for my greying goatee.
Grosss. I hate that kind of mascara. You pretty much need a sandblaster in order to get it off.
Good luck.
JDJ...glad I got to you in time. That gorgeous eye wouldn't look to hot with thick black spokes sticking out.
lawbrat - Warning: Do not open! Return to store immediately!! I paid full price for it, thinking I was giving myself a "treat" when I should have reached for Maybelline at less than half the price.
Metro - a perfect application for the product would be goatee dying. Just watch for the roots!
Dashababy - honestly nothing takes this stuff off...awful but long lasting.
Gahh!I was on a quest to find the perfect mascara (having gone thru far too many) and always a clumping mess.
I finally found the perfect (perfectly expensive too) mascara that is worth every damn penny. It comes off with water but because it's tiny little tubes, it seems like your lashes are coming out as well but they aren't!! This mascara doesn't flake or leave racoon eyes either. It's called
kiss me mascara
I kiss you AMK for the mascara recommendation! Smooch!
I'm going to try it right away.
Because I have long eyelashes, when I was in my 20's and 30's I never wore mascara because I thought I looked like a hooker ~ HA! Now that I'm older, I feel like I look brighter and less tired when I've got mascara on. Not that I wear it on a regular basis, but when I go out or go to work I do and this Kiss Me mascara has served me well. I really like it.
That sounds terrible!
I use Covergirl Remarkable Waterproof Washable Mascara. It's in a purple tube and it's great. It doesn't smear or flake (waterproof) but it comes off when I wash my face (washable). I don't even have to use eye makeup remover. Also no clumping but good lengthening.
How horrible to look like Tammy Faye...that's not the Mary Bishop I know.
PS am desperately holding on to my last tubes of ccb paris mascara. The company no longer sells to the US and sadly, i haven't found anything better on our fair shores.
AMK, Ern and Hänni -- how nice to have women friends who'll share good products.
That's why I had to write about this horrendous mascara. To warn everyone away from it.
I wasn't expecting perfection for $6.99 but this is ridiculous...there's still some black guck stuck to my poor blonde eyelashes.
Now I look like I have eyelash mange, but I'm not putting any product on my lashes until the last of the black is gone!
Icky icky ick. Although there ARE some women who have their eyelids tattooed so it looks like permanant eyeliner... I can't imagine wanting permanant eyelashes. Then again, I rarely wear that stuff. It makes my eyelashes stand out and unless I'm wearing contacts, it gets really annoying when my eyelashes keep brushing my glasses. I hope there's a miracle eye-solvent to remove the stuff. If/when you find it, do let us know.
I use a kickass brand, Rimmel, it seems to get sudsy and does a fine job with one cotton round.
try your luck with that.
MB, I will only buy Mary Kay products from now on. Justed stopped in to see what the buzz waz. Hope your doing well. Things have been good here. Unseasonably mild. That is cool cause it keeps the fuel oil man at bay. Not looking forward to winters heat bills. Take care my old friend!
e - I'd like to have the problem of my lashes hitting my glasses ;-)
Daniel...I'll bet you are!
Wenig - I'm going to look for it. Thanks
Jeff - It is so nice to see your name on my blog again. I've missed you! Yes, stay with your Mary Kay or be doomed to a life of black clumpy lashes!
You made my day Jeff!
