3 eye products discussed in the episode with notes from Mary Steele:
1.
This is the mascara I refer to as Dance Recital mascara. Do you all have dance recitals? In Mississippi, little girls who take dancing lessons have a big performance at the end of the year. They wear tons of stage makeup for this gala event. Hence – Dance Recital mascara. It really does look like false eyelashes. I love it.
For reference, see, Celia Rivenbark, Chapter 3, “Sorry I Can’t Make it to the Recital (I’m Planning on Poking Myself in the Eye With a Sharp Stick That Night” . In, We’re Just Like You, Only Prettier.
(A note from Christine, I looked this one up. Less than $10 in Canada (Amazon and Shoppers Drug Mart), cruelty free, vegan. Several types, the False Lash (not waterproof) is the one that’s so popular.
2 and 3.
Here is the Concrete mascara. I include the remover because you truly cannot get it off with regular mascara remover. The mascara isn’t volumizing, but it covers each lash and totally stays put. As in, doesn’t even think about budging. You can sleep in it and go out the door the next day looking as put-together as when you first applied it. (Not that I would ever do this!). The remover is in a tube like the mascara. The wand makes it surround each lash to thoroughly melt all the mascara, while somehow being gentle on the eyes.
4, the brow product.
Dior Diorshow Brow Styler Ultrafine Precision Brow Pencil | Nordstrom
This is my favorite eyebrow pencil. I am very fair and have invisible eyebrows. Estee Lauder has non-orange eyebrow pencils for pale persons, but this one has such a fine tip I don’t know why anyone with sparse brows would use anything else. The blonde color is subtle, yet noticeable. I love trying new makeup, but I”m sticking with this one.
5, a bonus product:
Amazon.com : marcelle bb cream golden glow
We didn’t talk about this one, but I’m including it because it is such a find. I don’t know the difference between a BB cream and a CC cream – not sure anyone does – but this is a beautiful sheer foundation. I wear it and I’m True Spring, my sister-in-law who is Light Spring wears it, and my Soft Summer niece wears it. I like it better than a highly-recommended Armani foundation I have. I now force myself to use the Armani, because I feel guilty about not using something that was such a splurge. The Golden Glow gives the skin a soft, warm polish.
