"All of my mascaras need to pass one crucial test: can I apply this while standing on a crowded 6 train without (a) poking my eye out and (b) looking like Taylor Swift sobbing in the 'Blank Space' music video? Glossier came through: I swiped on this skinny applicator while hanging from a commuter's pole, and not only did I come out of the experience with both eyes intact, but I got a few compliments as well! My lunch date kept asking me what mascara I was wearing, and I had so much fun not telling him because I was legally obliged to keep mum until the embargo dropped. While the effect isn't total va-va-va-voom glamour girl (this is Glossier we're talking about, after all), I think this low-key look makes my eyes look bigger, and damn if my separated arches don't look like Twiggy's in the '60s." — Alaina Demopoulos, editorial assistant, Beauty
