Bridal Beauty Pick of the Week

WHAT: Covergirl VolumeExact Waterproof Mascara ($8).

WHY: One of the best value mascara's out there, this gem is a secret weapon of many makeup artists because it creates thick, lush looking lashes. Mascara never appears clumpy or heavy, even after several coats have been applied. The waterproof formula is a must for your party and it was actually on my own wedding day that I discovered the wonders of VolumeExact courtesy of my brilliant makeup artist, David Goveia from Toronto's Judy Inc. I loved it so much, I have been wearing it pretty steady in the two years since (I have even stuck with the waterproof formula because it doesn't smudge or smear and is a cinch to take off).
