I used Rimmel 100% Waterproof Mascara at my Dad's funeral and it never let me down. X

Hope the the funeral goes as well as can be expected. Sorry for your loss X

I've done this in the past and it didn't work for me: something I really value in a (decent) mascara is that they elongate and add thickness, something my short blonde lashes seriously lack! I always end up pasting mascara over the top!

Am able to get to Selfridges this week- will take a look at the Blinc types and fingers crossed! Just wish it wasn't all for such a very sad occasion.

Although for me the differeence is subtle it is useful nonethe less. My eyes weep a lot in bright light and wind, but like you i prefer mascara that lengthens and adds some oomph. My compromise is to dye (i do it at home, but this takes me ages, especially the bottom lashes, mine are totally blonde and i really need them dark) then i put mascara only on the top lashes, sometimes just on outer edge of eye. It makes a great deal of natural looking enhancement, gives waterproof stuff a little chance of survival, and for a more made up light look i wear a sheer red lip colour.

Its not a full on lash look, but its a good one, and a lot better than panda face.

There is only one Blinc mascara - there are no variations and aPart from being jet black (they do brown as well I think) it doesn't do any enhancing. No lenghening, no volumising. It just coats what you have with a little tube.

I use the Maybeline one in a pink and green tube. I have to put eyedrops in 6 times a day and my eyes run constantly but this stays on really well.

Picked up the Blink mascara today, will report back!

Just reporting back:

Wore the Blink mascara, worked a treat! I had no smuding or pouring down my cheeks! I was in tears for probably about 30 minutes straight if not longer added to the moments throughout the day which added to this- I noticed a few flakes (like 5?) but nothing major and so easily brushed away no smudging following

I did have to layer a little more then normal but would easily say it does more then colour my lashes darker, it does add a teeny bit of volume and made my lashes a great deal more obvious then if I'd just dyed them.

Came off fairly easily with normal facial wash and water, no stinging or overly stubborn patches.

It wasn't cheap but if anyone else out there needs a decent working waterproof version, this would be a good contender!
