At first we felt a little, well, superior. After all, we have mad make-up skillz, earned through years of clown faced experiments. And the first item in the gallery was that Sally Hansen nail pen we posted about a month ago. Um, yawn.

But then we were very pleasantly surprised by the rest of the products. Not just easy to use, they are also cool!

The problem with waterproof makeup is that when it works, it really works. I feel like I go through an inordinate amount of eye-makeup remover when dealing with my preferred waterproof mascara and waterproof eyeliner combo. Plus, my husband gets confused when he has to empty our bathroom trashcan twice a week just to make room for my 157th blackened ball of Kleenex. So, I figured, there has to be a solution.

And of course, Sephora is providing the answer. Sephora.com is featuring a whole arsenal of waterproof makeup products right now, all with the Sephora-guarantee that they will work as desired. Meaning, you can safely cry or run out in the rain without smearing, but at the end of the day you will also be able to revert to your au naturale state, sans-makeup residue.

I have personally tried the Dior DiorShow waterproof mascara and (because I am a lip-plumper addict) the Tarte Rise & Shine Plumping Lip Stain. The mascara was fabulous; wore very well all day without smearing or melting, and actually came off with very little eye-makeup remover. The lip stain, however, did not fare as well. Although I loved the color (I chose cherry), I didn't notice the stain lasting any longer than my lipstick usually does.

I haven't tried any of the other products listed (yet!) but when I do, I will give a full report. If you have any favorite waterproof makeup products, or have tried any of the products listed on the Sephora site, let us know! Maybe we can name an all-time StyleDash waterproof winner.
