Mascara

For some reason the mascara here in Spain costs a million and a half dollars a tube. Since it´s pretty much the only makeup I wear, this is quite unfortunate for me. A wise old owl told me it´s because of the brand name... ie: Loreal. "It´s from France!" the makeup knowledgable said. Hmm, Loreal? Not so fancy. It doesn´t have a counter at Nordstrom I don´t think.


Well, here´s a shot of a tube of sooped up Loreal mascara from Spain...

17.25 euros translates to 22.46 dollars. Can you believe that?!? If anyone gets a chance, feel free to send me some sort of volumizing black mascara. I think I got my last tube at Target for like 4 bucks. It´s Loreal too, not this one, but Panoramic Curl.

Anyhow, I had to vent. Pics from my little trip around SE Navarra, I hope to post next week after my weekend alone with the kids, dun, dun, duh!

the good news is the sign says "volum socking". who wouldn't pay 22 dollars for volum socking mascara?
