I had a mascara meltdown this weekend. You know the little part that wipes the brush as you pull the wand out of the tube? Mine fell apart leaving me with a wand too full of mascara to use.

I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. In a desperate need to finish getting ready to meet some friends, I dashed to Wal Mart. Needed to get in and out quickly, I ran down the first make up isle. There on the end was N.Y.C. New York Color Lengthening Mascara in black. Thinking it was fate, I grabbed it and went to the nearest checkout line.

For about $2, I got some mascara that works in a pinch. It isn’t perfect and it doesn’t last as long or keep from flaking like the better brands, but worked and I couldn’t be more thankful.

So bottom line, if you are in a hurry and need a mascara to get you through, N.Y.C. New York Color Lengthening Mascara does the job.
