L'OREAL BEAUTY TUBES - Easy Off Mascara!!!!

How many of you dread the mascara removal process? The inky black smudges, the endless cotton pads, the tugging, the pulling. Ugh. I dread it!
What if I told you that not only have I found the Holy Grail of Mascara Removal - I have found a mascara that does not flake, clump or come off at all during the day - even though it is NOT technically waterproof! L'Oreal Beauty Tubes Mascara is a WONDROUS invention. It is a two-step mascara but worth the time. The white end is a lash primer, of course, that coats each individual lash, and the black end - the business end - is some sort of rubbery silicone-based formula that actually forms a miniature TUBE surrounding the lash. Not a fiber - that will break off and irritate these baby blues - but a real honest to goodness tube that sets and holds all day long. The effect? Lush, voluminous lashes, no clumps, no flaking, no eye irritation. During allergy season here in the Nation's Capital, I teared up every day and the TUBES held. I wiped tears away during a weepy moment - mascara still there. So how do you remove this wondrous novelty, you ask?
WARM WATER. That is it. I splash warm water on my face to soften the lashes, then squeeze a bit of eye makeup remover on a cotton pad and swipe - VOILA, and COOL: about 80 miniature eyelashes slide right off, on the pad!!! I have also heard that some women use their fingers to slide the tubes off. What does this mean? This means that once you do the ONE MOVEMENT to remove the tubes, that's it! You can go on to toner, or lotion, or tweezing, or Ambien, or whatever your next move is at night.
Beauty Tubes by L'Oreal won a CEW award earlier this year - meaning, for those insiders in the beauty industry - this mascara is a keeper. I think so too - great for sensitve eyes and those of us who dread the removal process.
The only bummer? It comes in only Black and Blackest Black - what about we blondes that like the Brown?
