Mascara has always been my thing. I remember the very first time I used it—Maybelline Great Lash, in my mom’s car on the way to Thanksgiving dinner. I got tons of compliments from my aunt and was immediately hooked. Flash forward more than 20 years, and I still feel the same way about the beauty fave—but I also have a new secret: Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing serum (which is currently 25 percent off at SkinStore this Labor Day weekend with code LABOR).
After all, this is such a world where I no longer wear makeup daily and I'm not the least bit tempted by eyelash extensions (oh, the horror stories). Let's be real, who am I really trying to impress aside from my new roommates (ahem, parents) and my dog? But that also doesn't mean I don't want long, fluffy lashes for my own enjoyment.
