Melting Pot Beauty Taking You Beyond the Beauty Boundaries
All lashes are not created equal. Some lashes need a serious boost and depending on your preference you may need them to appear longer, thicker, more separated or more curled. Sometimes you need all of those qualities. Let’s explore some of the top mascaras in the market to suit your specific needs and budget.
Problem #1: Stubborn, straight lashes. Solution: A mascara to curl and lift those puppies right up.
Budget: Volum’ Express The Falsies Flared by Maybelline ($7.77). The name says it all, The Falsies spoon like brush and flexible mascara wand grabs onto every lash and swoops them up to look as if you applied false lashes. http://www.maybelline.com/Products/Eye-Makeup/Mascara/Volum-Express-Falsies-Flared-Washable.aspx
Big-Ticket: Urban Decay SuperCurl ($20.00). The curved wand on this mascara will give those stick straight lashes just the right pick me up.

heard some good things about SIsly’s new mascara. It carries a $60 price tag. Would you ever spend that much on a mascara?
Not normally, especially since I replace my mascara almost every six to eight weeks. However, because I am a beauty product junkie, I might try it out once to see what all the hype was about.
