This month, along with her Holiday 2009 Chrome Collection, Bobbi Brown introduces the new Extreme Party Mascara, a buildable mascara with tons of volume and zero clumping or flaking.

Now here’s the thing about me and mascaras: most of them don’t like me.

I’m sure it’s not intentional. I mean, I’m a nice enough girl and all, but my eye lashes can be difficult to deal with so it’s understandable that most mascaras aren’t into me.

As I’ve explained a kazillion times before, my Asian lashes don’t hold a curl unless I’m wearing waterproof mascara. This proves cumbersome as most waterproof formulas are not easy to remove. In fact, I’m either fogging up my contact lenses with oil-based removers or I’m scrubbing the crap out of my eyes and losing lashes along the way. Not to mention, waterproof formulas tend to look dull on the lashes, not shiny and rich like the non-waterproof kind. So, in the name of eye-opening lashes, I continue to reach for waterproof formulas day after day.

A few months ago, I found my holy grail mascara in Lancôme Hypnôse Drama and now (can you believe my good fortune?!) I’ve found a second mascara that I bow down before and kiss the countertop it sits on: Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara.

This mascara is totally layerable (is that a word?)—okay, buildable—in that you can add a fresh coat even after it dries thanks to the pliable formula. Just look how amazing my lashes are:

I wore this all day and night, I even slept in it (the things I do for the sake of this beauty blog!), and I didn’t have one flake or smudge. In fact, this morning my lashes looked good enough to face the day.

Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara washes away clean with soap and water (and zero elbow grease). I’m pretty sure this mascara likes me.

The new Extreme Party Mascara is available online at BobbiBrown.com for $22.

As the holiday makeup collections make their way to makeup counters across the nation, the Bobbi Brown Chrome Palette from the Holiday 2009 Chrome Collection is the star item to watch out for.

But you want to know what I’m most excited about? A SPONGE TIP APPLICATOR!!

That’s right, my friends, after all these years Bobbi has finally heeded my call for a better lip gloss applicator than the rough, stiff brush currently offered.

I can’t even stand it!
