Let’s face it, dear readers. This is the age of the longest lash. We’ve seen so many products to hit the market, but our staple — the mascara– remains our wand of choice when it comes to amplifying lashes. Today’s guest post comes from Adina Zilberman of KraseyBeauty, who takes her quest for the perfect mascara into verse.

There once was one very fair maiden- and a princess no less! Both honest and kind, just- and sweet as a warm spring day, she ruled the land with her heart in her eyes and her head on her shoulders. Our story begins one fine morning, late spring. The day was new, and a very special day it was, for it was the day that our fair maiden was to marry her handsome, charming prince. As sunshine streamed into her royal bedroom, she rubbed her sleep filled eyes, pulled on her pink silken robe, and called for her royal cosmetician. In just under an hour, our sweet princess looked stunning, not that she needed much help, anyway. Before slipping into her wedding gown, she afforded herself a quick trip to the magic mirror, for good luck of course. She uttered the following:

“Mirror mirror, on the wall, am I today, the fairest one of all?”

And the mirror replied:

Snow of White, my how you shine

Never so lovely, has there been a bride

Lucky is your prince, to have you by his side.

But alas, my dear princess, there is one small hitch

For your eyes are so lovely,

But your lashes aren’t rich

It breaks my heart princess,

But my words ring true

Heed my words please, for I know what you must do.

And it was then that Snow White cried out:

“Dear mirror, please help me! On this my wedding day, what can I do?!”

And the mirror replied:

Deep in the forest, past bushels and trees

A cottage exists

There enter, if you please

For there on the table, you will surely find

7 distinct tubes to get you out of your bind.

7 black tubes, all magical- it’s true!

Listen on princess, I will tell you what they do.

Flutter

Use Phenomen’Eyes by Givenchy

For lashes that fan out

For her round spiky applicator leaves no room for doubt

Butterfly lashes, long, rich and curled

Your fluttery lashes will be revealed to the world.

Sultry

Next there is Smoky Lash

By Make Up For Ever

For smoldering sexy lashes

A worthy endeavor

Lashes so dense, and as black as the night

With a fringe oh so smoky, it can only be right

Fatty

Yves St Laurent Volume Effets

Faux Cils in Noir Radical

For dense, ultra-thick lashes

That may render you fanatical

Flirty

Multi tasker extraordinaire

Our dear Extase by Dior

Her length, curl and thickening properties make her easy to adore

With an exceptional formula, an amazing brush too

Your limp, boring lash days would surely be through

Spikey

For sharp, spiky lashes

Miles and miles long

With Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto you surely can’t go wrong

With just a swipe of her long, spindly brush

Your fringe will be unstoppable

Long, and dangerously lush

Defined

For lengthy, lush lashes

Long, full, and defined

Lancôme Definicils yields results most refined

With precious plant extracts

An amazing formula too

Just one application, and your lashes will thank you

And Bionic

With a formula that’s backed by science

Rich, clump-free, and ionic

Lashes are lusher, stronger, and fuller

Why this ambitious little number even does curl

With her indigo shade, your eyes will look bright

Surely then, you will have the glammest lashes in sight.

And here you do have it

Why not forget the rest?

Seven brilliant mascaras we’ve put to the test

Lashes that flutter, with style I’ll say

And just in time for your special day!

So that when you ask who’s the fairest of them all

This much will be true

The answer my dear, will always be you!

The princess smiled to herself, and went off in a hurry, in search of the cottage. I won’t tell you which mascara she went with, for that is for you to decide. Needless to say that the princess, her prince, and her fabulous lashes lived happily ever after.
