I typically keep my mascara confined to my top lashes, but yesterday I decided to mix it up a little and coated the bottom ones as well. Immediately after applying, I remembered why I don't usually let my mascara venture south. I can't seem to wear mascara on my lower lashes without looking like a doll. And no, I'm not talking about a doe-eyed baby doll with plump, rosy cheeks. I'm referring to the creepy doll every girl had at some point as a...

A reader recently commented on my Blackberry Mascara Review post wondering how thick my eyelashes normally are. I'd intended to post a picture of them sans mascara last week, but it completely slipped my mind. Sooo, here it is:
