This week’s product junkie is someone whose been all over the blog this week- photog Sarah Winchester (who’s photo BTW, was chosen to be the cover of the Orvis Dog Book, so big, fat congrats to her!) She’s a gorgeous Southern blonde who has a great recommendation for active ladies who still love some lashes!
Although I am totally on board with your Channel foundation (love it too!), my absolutely favorite product is without a doubt Blinc mascara . My eye lashes can be quite light, so mascara is a must for me. The company describes the mascara as forming tiny water-resistant “tubes” around your lashes rather than painting them. All I know is that it is the only truly waterproof mascara I have found. Seriously, I can play tennis, SCUBA dive, ski, whatever and this stuff does not smudge or give me those horrible raccoon eyes. To removed it simply use lots of warm water to soften the lashes and the mascara “tubes” off in your hand. It kind of then looks weird but it is the best mascara I have ever tried. At $25 a pop, it is not super cheap, but it is worth it. They sell it a Sephora.
Trish McEvoy has the same technology and I have been loving it. I raved about it in a June post. Been using it since Feb. It’s amazing so I am wondering how it compares to blinc. Curious minds want to know…..

TOTALLY AGREE. This mascara does the same thing as Fiberwig, but BETTER. The only thing that takes getting used to is watching the little “tubes” fall off of your eyelashes in the shower. You may feel like you are covered in tiny spider legs. But it does look damn good on!
I’m loving these little make up reviews!! I’ve never heard of this mascara, but I love the idea of a washable budge-proof waterproof mascara. I’m definitely heading to sephora after work….
there is something amazing about this blinc mascara, saw it reviewed also on shopafrolic awhile back…gotta run out and get some!
I LOVE the idea of getting my project junkie fix here on your site Erin – super idea! Your blog is great and I always love your design insight, but I’m so happy you realize that, while that may be the main focus, your loyal readers care about all of the other “important” things in life — i.e. products, twilight, etc.!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the heads up. I need a new waterproof mascara.
I know. It does look like little bugs when it comes off. Hehe I’ll have to compare the Trish McEvoy one to compare. Thanks for all the blog time this week Erin! So much fun. Cheers!
My absolute favorite mascara. The BEST.
Love Blinc mascara it’s amazing. I’ve tried lots of mascara brands from expensive to cheap and Blinc is the only brand that doesn’t give me “racoon eyes”.
