Mascara, Mosscara?

Ever since I first swiped mascara along my eyelashes for a play when I was 9 I've been obsessed with the stuff, begging my Mom to allow me to wear mascara until she finally gave in when I was 11. Mascara has been my one "don't want to be caught with out it" beauty product. Thankfully, colored mascara was big when I was 11 and 12 so I usually had green or blue eyelashes which made me look more silly than trashy. Since I was young, I wasn't wearing any powder on my face so the mascara would quickly bleed all over my bottom lids. At that point, my Mom had me start wearing waterproof mascara. Through the age of 24 I was wearing drug store mascara that made my lashes short and dry or thick and chunky.

After switching to Arbonne, a botanically based product, I noticed my lashes got a lot longer! Being that I just ran out of my Arbonne mascara, I decided to look around at other botanically based mascaras and came across Aveda's Mosscara

I love it! The mosscara goes on creamy and clean, even the first time. What makes it unique is they use Iceland moss and other pure plant extract, hence the "moss" in the title.

If you've always stuck with cheap mascara, treat yourself to a botanically based mascara. Being that mascara is applied to the eye, and sometimes gets in the eye, it is important to chose products that are really safe.
