Have you tried the Anastasia waterproof mascara top coat (sorry, I don't remember what it's actually called)?  I love Clinique mascara, but they only JUST came out with waterproof mascara.  Their curling mascara is my absolute favorite and I love Clinique products because they're so gentle and great for sensitive skin.  I can't wear any mascara without the Anastasia waterproof top coat.  I even put it over "waterproof" mascara to make sure it doesn't smudge.

The problem is just because it is waterproof doesn't mean it is smudge proof. I have very oily eyelids and oil causes smudging. I have tried almost everything hahaha

Jamie, I have the same problem as you and really want to try the Blinc mascara because of the "tubes" technology.  Have you ever tried L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara?  Just curious if you have and whether it worked for you.  

 

[Jamie P]

I have and it's not bad. Let me do a run down... Blinc pros... Doesn't flake or smudge. Very water resistant (I'm a dog groomer and splashed in the face at least 5 times a day). Easy to remove with just water. Good for sensitive eyes. Blinc cons... Very wet so it doesn't give much volume, just darkens and lengthens. Takes awhile to dry. Either use a blow dryer on low for a few seconds or wait... But don't blink or it will get on your eyelids easy!!!! Expensive at $26. Loreal pros... Cheaper at $13. Has a primer that seems to add volume before you use the mascara. Doesn't smudge. Easy to remove. Dries faster than blinc so no issues there. Loreal cons... Flakes a little for me. Not as water resistant as blinc.

 

[nishino]

Awesome, thanks for that breakdown.  The Blinc sounds impressive, especially if it's still good after getting splashed in the face!  I'm on a low-buy though so glad to know the L'Oreal is a good option too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Gahhhhhh why won't UPS show up?!  I want my Glinda palette!!!  And I refuse to leave the house until it comes!  

 

[audiophilekate]

Oh, my poor UPS man.  I squealed and hugged him when he showed up.  Awful day officially turned around.

I was eyeballing that at Sephora the other day. Price won thankfully. Just the look of it alone almost made me get it. So pretty.

I knoooooow!  The Theodora one is gorgeous too.  The price tag got me to postpone purchasing it until I tried the Urban Decay BB cream and fell in love with it.  I bought the Glinda palette from Sephora with the 10% off VIB code.  It was still expensive, but it saved me almost $5...

 

[beautymadn3ss]

Got Revlon Heavenly and Girly. SO CUTE!

 

[nishino]

Yay, I got me one of the new Maybelline Color Whisper lippies today!  Been dying to try these.  Goes on like a lip balm with medium translucent color.

Nice!  I just ordered some random perfumes on Ulta since it was free shipping for $25, plus free gift with $35.  I guess it might have been a better idea to go in store to smell them first!  Oh well - I like a little mystery.

 

[Hellocat4]

Just ordered a petrol blue Veronica liner and a plum colored lip glass from the new Archie Mac collection.  As If I need more lipgloss-oh well. I have a weakness for those purple colors that were popular when I was a teen.

 

[audiophilekate]

I ordered the Original/Sin Eyeshadow Primer Potion Duo from Urban Decay. I've been meaning to try the UD eyeshadow primers for a while. (Anyone else feel like they're in an AA meeting? - "Hi, I'm Kate & I placed another online order.")

 

[Wida]

I just placed an order with Ulta.  I am still on the search for a good eyelash curler and I think I've tried every single cheap one there is so I finally bought a Japonesque one.  I hope it works.  I wanted their giftbag that they're doing today, so I bought an NYX eye primer and concealer and Rimmel's Stay Matte powder just to make my order $35, lol.

I think I know the eyelash curler you're talking about.  I have a similar ones from Sephora and Julep.  I've only used the Sephora one, but I like it.  I recently ordered the Chella eyelash curler (which actually JUST arrived) and will be replacing my cheap one with that, hopefully. I liked the cheap Sephora one more than any other eyelash curler I had purchased - it's small and easy to use.  I hope you like yours! 

 

[Wida]

I hope I do too...I'm tired of being disgusted with eyelash curlers that don't curl.  I will send this one back if it doesn't work.

What I do is do like 5-10 pulses (squeeze for a second or two and release) per eye.  It seems to work quite nicely (and better than the more expensive eyelash curlers I had purchased before it).

Meh.  The Chella one doesn't seem to work very well for me.  It's a little disappointing.
