Travesty. Seriously. A. Travesty.

As it turns out, I owe the Sephora at 77th and Broadway half an apology.* Apparently the reason why they haven't been stocking Shu Uemura's miraculous fiber extension mascara is because no one is stocking it. BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED. I realized this only after trying to purchase it online, going to two Sephoras, and then going to multiple department store make up counters looking for it. Apparently, Shu is not a regular reader of this blog and doesn't realize that this is a product I Can't Live Without. A mascara that I would fight for on a deserted island. Sad for him. But sadder for me, because it means that I'm back on the hunt for a new mascara. I've been using a tube of Christian Dior Diorshow, which countless beauty editors swear by, as do several friends of mine, but it smudge, smudge, smudges all over my eyes after about two hours of wear. Any recommendations for a new mascara?

*They only get half of an apology because they have possibly the worst Sephora customer service ever. It's either non-existant bordering on rude or they follow you around telling you to make sure that you hold securely on to your purse because of pick-pocketing until you leave without buying anything. Bizarre, but true.
