My summertime (and known "crying will happen" occasion) mascara. I love the tiny brush for getting right to the base of my lashes without smearing on my eyelids, the waterproof formula holds up to sweat and tears, and it comes off easily with a cleansing balm. I've bought many, many tubes over the last 10 years.
