Ciate Lashlights - aka Colored Mascara that ACTUALLY shows up on Asian lashes!!

I love colored mascara, but they have always disappointed me because my lashes are black, and the color never shows up. Beautiful in the tube, and nothing special on my lashes. There once was a Elizabeth Arden blue mascara that showed up in the sun, that was special...until now!

Ciate is a nailpolish brand, not sure why they made mascara, but I'm sure glad they did! 

The applicator is a comb, rather than a brush. You comb this through your lashes AFTER putting your regular black mascara on (maybe this was what I was supposed to do with all those other colored mascaras that didn't work? Ah but they never instructed me to do that...)

I don't need to say anymore...this photo somehow looks photoshopped to me, like I drew green lines on my lashes. Except I don't know how to use photoshop so this mascara is just plain awesome...

Oh, and it doesn't smudge, and removes well with the bi-phasic stuff. 

 Do you have a favorite colored mascara that actually shows up on dark lashes? If you didn't before you do now :)

Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Lash Enhancing Mascara – Ocean Blue Review

Elizabeth Arden is a brand that I would have not even considered buying prior to studying makeup. I used to think that it was for "older women" like my mom's age. However, once I found out about the legendary 8 hr cream in the MUA world, I've been exploring this brand more (or is it because I've become a mom...lol). I especially love their lipsticks (more in another post coming up soon...), and recently decided to try something different in their summer collection, a new BLUE mascara!  It's rare to see colored mascaras, and some I've tried in Sephora-land before were not that good (couldn't really see the color on my black lashes, or just bad formulas).  This one is not bad at all, click the jump to see the full review!

tokidoki sale grab ^_^

It's always fun to catch a sale :)

I was browsing Sephora on fine civic holiday (after failed attempt at outdoor Ribfest in the heat), and turns out tokidoki line is being discontinued so everything was 40% off. Unfortunately the brush set was already sold out. So bought some "fun" things to try out.
