The Edwardian Era.

Before you buy another beauty product...

...check out THE BEST WEBSITE EVER. Also, how insanely jealous am I that I didn't come up with the idea for that site? I totally left a negative review for the Maybelline BETRAYAL that is Great Lash Mascara. Seriously, that stuff is so overrated--clumpy, zero lash-lengthening action AND it dries out about 30 seconds after opening. I mean, you could probably get better results with a damp lump of coal and a toothbrush. The only way I could be tempted to buy another tube of it is if it were the last tube of mascara ON EARTH. I COULD be that desperate someday, but I'm going to try not to think about it too much because it upsets me so...

Ava shows us how it's done...

*SIGH* WHY don't people LOOK like this anymore? Well, I mean, besides me and E, everyone. Let's be fair, here. But don't worry, dear readers--jealous-rage-inducing glamor is possible for US ALL with the right tools!
