Continuing the hunt for the perfect mascara leads me to this one: Smashbox Bionic Mascara in Jet Black.  It's also available for a limited time in Black Violet.  I'm not sure if it's my photography skills (or lack thereof), but I honestly think that this mascara looks better in person.  While glancing at myself in the mirror, I thought it looked pretty good, but these pictures don't look that great.  Oh wells.  I'll have to keep experimenting with my camera settings.

I think that this would be a pretty good everyday mascara for me.  It adds good blackness, length, and volume-without being too dramatic.  Office appropriate?  Yes.  Good for your 70s disco nights?  Probably not.  You won't get every lash, but clumping isn't as bad as with others.  It also held curl a lot longer than I ever expected; an hour after applying (hey that's a lot in my world!) my lashes were NOT pointing down yet.


Bionic Mascara gets a good 4/5 rating from me.  Available at Sephora or Smashbox counters for $19.
