Episode #94 – Nicole by OPI, Lash Power and Shag-Marry-Kill.
Feb 26th, 2008 by Kerry Anne
This week we review:
Clinique Lash Power Mascara
The claim:
One stroke and these pretty lashes last through rain, sweat, humidity, tears. Yet the formula removes easily with warm water. Unique brush reaches and beautifully lengthens even the tiniest lashes.
*Since this show was recorded, Airdrie has had failing results with this mascara. She wore it for a massage therapy appointment, and when she got up off the table, where she had been lying face down for an hour, her lashes were totally wrecked. The product does not smudge, as much as it does “flake.” Please do not buy this product. Flaking was also noted at work. It is not a miracle product that lasts 24hours. Overwhelmingly craptacular.

Reality Check
We revisit Airdrie’s August 2007 post about the new “improved” Tampax, which we’ve been getting mail and comments about it since. As Kristin says, “It’s the devil’s handywork”.
Retraction:
The day after this show was recorded the Gene Simmons sex-tape scandal erupted, leaving Airdrie shocked and confused about her choice to Shag Gene in last week’s round of Shag-Marry-Kill. She would like to retract her choice: Marry Dr. House, Shag Chris Angel, and KILL Gene. So sad.

I’m so glad you brought up the tampax issue again! I’m still so annoyed about the crappy new “redesign” and you spurred me on to write to Procter and Gamble and give them my feedback. I’ve also joined your facebook group and was glad to see the URLs for P&G’s comment/contact us pages. I thought I’d paste them here for people that want to contact them right this minute:

I was one of the ones that posted a good review about the Lash Power mascara. I liked it a lot and it gave me very long lashes, but I have to say that I”m not picky when it comes to shades of black.
Good show, as always!

Hey,
So glad you mentioned Sparks. I actually spoke about your podcast in a team called “Make-up Mamas.”

Just wanted to tell you guys that we have Classico pasta sauce in the United States. It’s owned by Heinz, which is (for better or worse) very American. :-)
