EA Ceramide Mascara Gives This Girl a Curl
Every day for the past couple of weeks, I’ve found myself reaching for Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide mascara to complete my look for all occasions. I found this kind of bizarre because with all of the other great reviews of Ceramide other from some of my favorite bloggers, I still wouldn’t classify it as my holy grail mascara.
But there’s something about this mascara in a sleek and sturdy little gold tube that keeps me coming back. Is it because this formula that gives my lashes a full coat of glossy beyond any other I’ve tried before? Certainly - this mascara contains Elizabeth Arden’s exclusive Ceramide Triple Complex with vitamins A, C, and E to give my lashes that healthy look I want.
Unlike CoverGirl’s Lash Blast, I like how the wand is smaller and and enabled me to get to every lash easily. It separated my lashes nicely, didn’t flake throughout the day, and I got very little clumping (only when I wasn’t careful). The best part of Ceramide for me, though, has got to be the lovely curl that holds almost all day long. They make my eyes look so flirty!
Now for the cons - it didn’t give the volume I craved to make my wimpy lashes happy and while it did lengthen a little, it just wasn’t enough for me in the end.
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Mascara ($20 US) is one that I might buy again - but I won’t stop trying other mascaras to find my one true love - fo’ shizz.
Have you tried this Ceramide? What are your favorite mascaras? I’m still looking for one to top my L’Oreal Original Voluminous and am open for suggestions!

Hi Decorative Diva!
If I had time to do more coats of mascara - I totally would! LOL.. my lashes are so thin and short, I just wish they made something that would transform them so I could look like a supermodel!
What’s your favorite mascara?

I love Almay’s Triple Effect Blackest Black Mascara.
There was a Dual Sided one by Loreal that works to literally add length that you might want to try.

You would use the white side to add extra fibers for length and thickness, and then use the black side to darken them. But my eyes were too sensitive to use it very much.
MAC’s Mascara X is pretty awesome too.
Before I found MAC and Almay , I couldn’t wear mascara, but now I can

Hi Decorative Diva,
You know, I completely forgot about those lash primers - there’s a Lancome one that I really like, Cils Booster XL. It sounds like the L’Oreal one (only cheaper!)
I think I gotta check it out soon - thanks for the reco!
I’ve tried MAC Plushlash but it didn’t really do anything for me

I’ve not tried the MAC Plush, only the Mascara X, and I think the Pro LongLash once.
Try the L’Oreal, if you don’t have sensitive eyes, you might like it. The product worked really well on me, it just irritated my eyes. I really and truly couldn’t wear mascara for the longest time.
