Lately I have realized that I need a tube of quality mascara. I have never been a big mascara person; I have used it but haven't paid attention to what kind I bought--most likely whatever was on sale. Well, over the last few weeks, I have noticed that my mascara is just no good, and I predict that a quality tube might change the look of my make up. So...readers, do you have any suggestions? Do any of you have a brand of mascara that you swear by? Don't worry about price because I can always just opt to not buy it, but if I do decide to one day splurge on mascara, I would love to do it based on a recommendation.
And the second question...blue jeans. I have the hardest time finding blue jeans that I really like, so, again, I am asking you to share your favorite brand. I am so stinkin' short--5 ft. tall, and I think this contributes to the blue jeans problem. Again, don't worry about price, just tell me what you like. I am trying to store this information away in my brain for future use.
Thanks!

So, this is a surprisingly quick response I know... just saw where you posted though and I do have an answer for both of these questions...
1st... well, I don't buy expensive mascara... but my favorite kind and according to lots of magazines this is truly one of the best mascaras... Maybelline... the kind in the pink tube with the lime green lid. Don't know why its so good, but it is. And, I like big eyelashes, and they have a variation called BIG that I get.
2nd... my new favorite jeans... Old Navy Sweetheart jeans!! They are higher wasted than most jeans which I think is much more flattering... and they come in skinny or bootleg, and short, reg, or tall. I highly recommend them. They are the only jeans I get now. And a lot of people are getting jeggings from Target these days. Apparently they are actually legitimately comfortable and flattering. So, I want to try them out, but I don't know. Ok, that got really long. But, that's my advice.
Jeans: I really like Maurices brand jeans and Silvers. I also wear Levi's and Gap. They all come in short and Silver's actually has length sizes.
Mascara: I go cheap so I'm not the person to ask about this. :-)
I was always in your same boat with the jean dilemma. I recently wandered into Buckle and have fallen the love. I want to wear my jeans everyday now! They have the best selection of CUTE quality jeans. You can not come out of there without a pair of perfect jeans!! My favorite brands they carry are Big Star and BKE.
Hey Laura Beth,
I always wear lancome definicils, and I LOVE IT. It is pricey; however, it lasts about 6 months for me. My mom is hooked too.
Hi LB,
On the mascara, I have been boycotting expensive and have been using maybelline. I'm about to go back to Trish McEvoy though because it last about 9 months where maybelline is lasting 3ish before it starts burning my eyes. Also, the Trish comes off in flakes with water and doesn't smear under my eyes like Maybelline. I'm going to get it on my next mall outing. I'm sick of burning eyes.
I love the mascara I'm currently using. It's by Mary Kay, and it's called Ultimate Mascara. The color I have is black/brown. You may not, however, know a Mary Kay representative in McDonough.
Love you.
i don't wear eye makeup. i'm 5ft 3. i love the Lee stretch jeans at Penny's. rose
mascara: i found that all of the ones from the grocery store clumped on me and have had the best luck with clinique (can't remember the exact one but i think it's their best seller). i also use a little eyelash brush
jeans: old navy & target - both used to not fit me but i guess i haven't tried in a few years and they have all new styles now (and lots of them) to try. one thing i figured out recently that really does work too is to try on multiple pairs of the same kind and size of jeans.. sometimes they really do fit differently! (which is annoying)
Lucky and Ann Taylor Loft both have "short" jeans - I'm also 5ft - I wore both pairs to shreds! Keep looking at Ann Taylor Loft - they have specials/steals going constantly. Another idea is ebay - I got some citizen jeans on there that I just got hemmed.
Tried the cheapy mascara for a while, too - terrible. Clinique - any kind - is great!
I'm totally with Kate! Love that mascara! I saw it on What Not to Wear and decided to try it - it's awesome! And the sweetheart jeans from Old Navy are great too! I bought the short and they're great! Actually, I just bought some this week because they're celebrating their 16th birthday or something so they're jeans are $16 instead of $25!
I love Clinique and Mary Kay mascara. Also, Ann Taylor Loft does have cute jeans...I love my pair.
Ok so as far as mascara goes...
I love Mary Kay Mascara but stopped getting it free so...
I am now using Loreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara, and I love it!!!
It comes off so easy! It is the kind that you put on the white stuff from one end first and then the actual mascara...when you wash it off you just kinda pull it right off...no black smears or raccoon eyes!! And its cheap
Jeans...haven't figured that one out for myself yet!
