This week at Beauty Review we're sharing some of the Beauty Crew's favourite products with you.
Yesterday our Chief of Bright Ideas Merilyn shared her pick - the gorgeous Glasshouse Fragrances Tahaa Vanilla Caramel Candle. (Not quite a beauty product, but one does not disagree with the Queen!) Later on in the week BR's Moderator and Resident Beauty Therapist Zoe is bringing you her secret to perfect brows and our in-house Beauty Writer Tabatha has chosen a powerful multi-tasker for your face.
Which leaves me, the First Lady of Beauty Review, Natalie. (Move over Michelle O...) I've chosen my ultimate mascara which also just so happens to be second place in our Top Ten Mascaras as rated by you - the Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara.
Somethings in life are hard to find. U2 still haven't found what they're looking for. Maybe they're on the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans. I don't know a woman alive who doesn't struggle with that. So when you find a pair that flatters your curves, fits both your short legs and dis-proportionally skinny ankles and are as comfortable as trackpants; you do what any sane gal would do. You buy at least three pairs and stash one pair at the very back of the drawer in case you find yourself in a post-apocolyptic world and in need of a new pair of jeans. (Jeans shopping is bad enough without having to fight off Zombies).
For me, finding the ultimate mascara is right up there with finding the perfect pair of jeans. I want something that will lengthen and thicken my lashes, that stays on through all situations but comes off when I take it off. I want something that is kind to my lashes and will help them grow as I use it. How hard can that be to find? Turns out quite hard.
This is what they say about the Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara. "It's naturally formulated in the style of the ancient Egyptians. It's designed to accentuate and enhance the natural beauty of your lashes, our Goddess Mascara wont irritate eyes or sting and coats lashes evenly. It conditions, nourishes and strengthens lash structure to assist with lash growth".
And for once EVERY WORD of the marketing blurb is the truth. Ok so you might think $44 is a bit pricy for a mascara, but when you use it everyday and it ticks every box and then some, it's a steal. I'd pay more for it and other than a few things like Christian Dior Dolce Vita and a pack of Jammie Dodgers this is not a statement I make lightly.
So after 14 years of searching I have found the can't-live-without-it mascara I've been looking for. Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara is the bump to my grind. The hip to my jive. The Edge to my Bono. And by Dior I would fight off a hoard of zombies and mummies for it. Or at least ask the Hubby to.
And because we're sharing - we're looking for a trial team to give us their verdict on the Eye of Horus Goddess Mascara. Want to put your hand up for this team? (Trust me you do!) Tell us your thoughts!

I realized the other day I have all makeup items stocked up except for mascara! Why, you ask? Because I just can't find one that I actually like! I agree - finding the perfect mascara is so bloomin' difficult! As a twelvie might say "I can't even.". Seriously though I can't even find one! I've tried all the mascaras under the sun. Help me BR! Heeeellllppp :O
