Bree, glad to see you won a giveaway! You had asked for some info on waterproof mascara last week. I'm not a waterproof mascara wearer, but Patricia on the PR team reminded me that AOL Stylelist's Grace Gold did a terrific article on waterproof mascara formulas. It explains how the formulas work and why you should swirl rather than pump your mascara.



I think I mentioned that our best-selling waterproof mascara is Definicils, but if you want some extra oomph, try Hypnose waterproof.



Are any of you waterproof mascara wearers? Do you have a favorite waterproof mascara? Or any tips and tricks you'd like to share? Let us know!
