L'Oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

To start with, I have oily/dry combination skin and hair, horrible allergies, live in the very humid southeast, and wear contacts!  I have yet to find a mascara that would stand up to the combination of my eyes watering, oily skin, the humidity, and not hurt my eyes.

Recently there was a post on You Look Fab forum that listed favorite mascaras.  There was one I had never heard of called L'Oreal Paris Double-Extend Beauty Tubes.

First off, I'd never heard of beauty tubes.  I'd tried all the waterproof mascaras I could find.  Sure they did better than the non-waterproof versions, but by the end of the day (and night if I was bad and didn't wash it off) it would be smeared all over my eyes.

I tried removing the waterproof mascaras with almost every waterproof makeup remover I could find.  None of them were very successful. They all involved a lot of rubbing, or just holding in place for awhile.  I was constantly losing lashes and never totally got all the mascara off.  If I went days without applying any makeup, I was still waking up with raccoon eyes!

Enter the  L'Oreal Beauty Tubes mascara.  It is labeled as "water resistant" and says it comes off with warm water and pressure (bonus no more makeup remover to sting my eyes)!  I tried it and loved it!  I can't give enough compliments about this mascara!  It works exactly as advertised, looks great, and doesn't come off all over my face.

I've worn it every day since.  I've spent all day in 100 degree temperatures, rain and humidity and nothing ran.  I washed the car and it didn't run.  I even slept in it one night (oops!) with no transfer all over my face or on my pillow.

As a bonus, when I do take it off, there is no leftover mascara to deal with.

I'm in love with a mascara.

How does this pertain to Skinny Fit?  I've worn it when I've worked out.  Inside, outside, rain, shine... no matter how much I sweat, it hasn't come off!

For anyone that uses their lunch break to go to the gym, or heads to the gym after work, you know about that raccoon look and having to haul around make-up remover to use before you leave.  This means one less product you have to carry around in your gym bag!

It's a bonus for trainers and class leaders.  You want to look good when you're in front of people leading a class, not have mascara running down your face.

My suggestion, just try it already and let me know what you think!  If you have any other suggestions, add them in the comments section below!
