Review: Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara

March 31, 2009

No clumps, no smudges. That’s what I want! Bare Escentuals added Buxom Lash Mascara to their line of Holy Grail-worthy mascaras and I couldn’t be more pleased.

So far, 2009 is starting off to be a year of many firsts for me and I’m so grateful!
