The new Smashbox full exposure water resistant Mascara, $20, offered now in one shade, Jet Black
Smashbox’s most current water resistant wunderkind, the brand-spankin’-new full exposure water resistant Mascara ($20), earns the Raging Hormone stamp of approval (also understood as the R.H.S.A in less formal circles).
In my testing this week, it withstood not one, not two, however three spontaneous PMS-fueled crying fits.

One of those fits may have been triggered by sad-looking, slow-motion kitties on YouTube, however that’s a topic I’d rather not examine ideal now…
Full exposure water resistant Mascara is the water resistant change ego of Smashbox’s original full exposure Mascara, which my BFF Jen occurs to be consumed with. We’ve had a unusual number of text convos that recommendation that O.G. version (“It’s great work makeup as well as doesn’t smudge.”), however to be honest, I’ve always felt that the original one is just OK. I like the color however feel like the formula doesn’t hold a curl in addition to I’d like.
This water resistant Clark Kent-ian change ego version, however, does. It lifts curls like Atlas lifts the earth as well as lasts at least 10-12 hours. It provides great length, volume as well as separation; plus, it’s even a lot more resistant to smudging as well as flaking than the non-waterproof version.

As far as the lash look itself, I like it. It’s remarkable however doesn’t discuss the top. I’d state it’s about two drag queens, a martini as well as a pair of Swarovski crystal-encrusted roller skates timid of the MEGA GLAM look I get from Guerlain’s Cils D’Enfer Waterproof, which is my present out-to-THERE water resistant mascara, however I believe both are great. full exposure water resistant just occurs to be much better for a somewhat less fancy lash look.

And then there’s the whole bad-@ssery of its waterproof-ness. This stuff is hurricane caliber! — quickly able to stand up to a deluge of PMS-fueled tears…as long as you don’t rub your eyes. If I do, as well as only if I’m scrubing with verve (it shouldn’t be a issue if you’re just daintily dabbing the corners of your eyes with a hanky), the formula breaks apart into itty-bitty flakes.
Unsurprisingly, this mascara is likewise a pain in the wahoozits to remove. Seriously, it takes a village, as well as it absolutely assists to have an oil-based makeup cleaner around. I’ll carefully massage DHC Deep Cleansing Oil into my lashes, rinse as well as repeat.
