Drugstore Mascara

Principle: keep it cheap. First dates
Are unfortunate, but still the need to impress
Effortless, beware
People come in too many flavors
To judge your order from the menu
Description: long-lasting, waterproof, resistant
To change, the moment when
The night needs to be cleaned from your eyes
Like a watercolor drop in a fresh glass.
