And the spectacular Helena Rubinstein does it again....
Lash Queen Sexy Blacks - the follow-up to my favourite Glorious mascara.
This mascara thickens, curls and lengthens and you don't even need to use much to see the effect!
The lash results are more striking than Glorious but this baby also has the propensity to slightly clump. This does however take nothing away from the fact that hands down no other mascara can touch this for curling and staying power.
Getting hold of it is a little tricky (duty free in Spain is my favourite place to stock up) but Amazon appears to have it in stock and at a good price...$39.76

It is totally totally worth the small mortgage and gets an overall Ally rating of 8.5/10.

Revisiting the waterproof eyeliner dilemma
Finally after many many many many years of smudged eyeliner I have located the ultimate in smudge proof liner:
Nars - Larger than life long wear eyeliner - £17
http://www.johnlewis.com/283967/Product.aspx
It is available at John Lewis in a multitude of shades. I have snapped up the gorgeous shimmery brown and black.
I know I know I have said it all before and I am probably coming across as totally eyeliner fickle given my Lancome/Benefit post earlier this year..... but seriously my eyes water like crazy and nothing (not even a jog in 30 degree heat) budges this stuff. It stays on strong from 8am, when it is put on, until 6pm - 10 hours with total non-movement!! After this point the line will start to fade slightly but nothing I have ever tried even comes close to the staying power of this product.
This liner gets an Ally 9/10 rating.
My only gripe is the sharpening function. This is an automatic pencil and the built in sharpening facility is somewhat flaky which can make it hard to get a thin line. Regardless, this is my staple and until Nars bring out a manual sharpening pencil of the same variety, I will 100% be buying this every time.
