Ladies, it is official: I am insane. There is definitive proof that there’s something wrong with me. You see, when most people open a tube of mascara and see a shade of garish pink found only on feather boas, they have no trouble walking away. Not me! I squeal, “How avant-garde!” and happily truck my finding over to a Kohl’s cashier who is understandably shocked that someone is buying this crap. (Incidentally, if you’re a retail associate in Houston, we’ve probably already met when I bought something stupid from your store.)
Applied, this wasn’t the America’s Next Top Model edge I’d hoped for. Instead, I looked a bit creepy and like I might have an infection since my eye appeared a puffy pink color. That’s not Flirt’s fault – pink mascara is best left at Dolce & Gabbana photo shoots. But they are guilty of encouraging this Technicolor dreamcoat of mascara missteps with catchy shade names like “Fuchsia Fusion”, “Violet Vixen” and “Real Teal”. Having Vanessa Minnillo as a spokesperson probably doesn’t hurt either. Not convinced, you say? “I’m buying it in black!”, you say? Fine. It does give a decent amount of volume, but the mascara is so clumpy it crumbled off my lashes in no time (which is probably a good thing, since I got engaged that night). Thumbs down!
The verdict: 2/5 stars. The two are for originality and a little plumpage. It sucks everywhere else.
Thanks for the honest and humorous review. I think I will leave the Fuchsia Fusion for my handbag instead of my eyelashes.
Ooh, a pink handbag! I’m so safe on accessories – black and neutrals, ya know. I’ll refer to others on fashion.
Well the black big flirt mascara makes my blue eyes pop out
Eyelash extensions are an entirely new method of enhancing the length and thickness of eyelashes.
Beauty is not just about the hair and face, but also the nails and other parts of the body.
