If there’s anything to learn from crying your eyes out for days on end, it’s what waterproof mascaras actually live up to their claims.
So leave it to me, for the sake of content, to quiz my aunts, cousins, sisters, and even my mom to find out the truth in the midst of collectively crying. I mean, nothing will put a waterproof claim to the test like losing a parent. I asked the questions so you don’t have to.
I do it all for you.
Duh.
And to break the tension.
Obviously.
Maybelline Great Lash waterproof I borrowed this from my sister when we went to visit the hospital. It didn’t budge. It came off easily with standard face cleanser and warm water. It’ll do the job for sure, but it may not give you vavavoom lashes. Cry proof.
Maybelline Full Lash Bloom waterproof I didn’t personally use this, but my sister stuck by her recommendation. Removes with standard face cleanser and warm water. Cry proof.
Cover Girl Clump Crusher water resistant I love the original Clump Crusher, so when I ran into the drugstore before heading home last weekend, I grabbed my old trusty favorite just in what I thought was waterproof. I don’t even know why it has a water resistant claim. This didn’t preform any differently than the original formula. Ran like a scared little girl at the first threat of a tear. The plus? Washed off easily. duh. Not even close to cry proof.
Maybelline Lash Sensational waterproof After the clump crusher disappointment, I decided to give this one a try. It was love at first swipe. Holy vavavoom lashes without a single smudge or flake. I put this one through the ringer (and I mean that) and my eye makeup didn’t budge. You’ll need proper eye makeup remover or some coconut oil to get this sucker off. Worth it. Cry proof…and winner winner chicken dinner*
So there you have it. I hope you read this post with a light heart. The “research” definitely kept us laughing over the last few weeks. And trust me when I say, laughter in the midst of something so hard is totally and completely necessary. And I got some useful info out of it. Win win. Sort of.
*I immediately grabbed the non-waterproof formula of this baby when I got home. It’s my new fave.
**There are no links because these are all drugstore products and I assume you probably visit one of those on the regular (cough: Target). A link seemed redundant, right? Bonus points if any of you are reading this while in a Target.
Thank you so much for sharing lady!! I have been curious about the Lash Sensation one. Maybe I'll give it a try. I hope that you are having a good week too!! 🙂
LOL, reading this while in a Target. Love that you did this, gave you something else to focus on even for just a bit.
Maybelline Great Lash waterproof is the one I recommended, use it all the time. But now that you tried and liked Maybelline Lash Sensational waterproof I'll have to buy that one. My eyes tear a lot, especially in Winter, so I always have to use waterproof. Seems like Maybelline's got it going on!
laughter is definitely necessary during crappy times. i will keep this in mind should i ever need it. hugs girl xx
Oh, I love this so much. One, because I love that you're still willing to be a bit lighthearted in the midst of an awful situation—you and your family need that. And, two, because I'm a continuously weepy-eyed idiot who's always seeking a great waterproof mascara. Thanks for the recommendations!

Well, mine as well turn an not so pleasant situation into a learning experience. I like your take on it! Also, that Lash Sensationals is my top favorite drug store buy!
Laughter is the best medicine! I like Maybelline Great Lash (regular) formula for daily wear.
I LOVE my Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara 🙂 I don't use the waterproof one but if I need it, I will for sure!
