Lash Cards--Yay or Nay?

This is just a quick post while I'm at work. Ssshhhhh!!!

In this morning's paper, there was an article about lash cards. I've seen some makeup tutorials on youtube, etc. where business cards are used to shield your eyelids when applying mascara. Like it says in the article, using a business card seemed kind of unsanitary. Since I do (or used to do) a lot of rubberstamping, getting clean cardstock isn't a problem for me. I tried it but perhaps I'm just uncoordinated or something because I can't seem to do it well. I also like holding the mascara tube in one hand while applying my mascara so having to use that hand to hold the card means having to stop, put down the card, pick up the mascara tube to reload mascara, then put it down, well, you get the picture. Perhaps one day I'll try it again and see if I change my mind.

In the mean time, here's the article:

What is your opinion on using lash cards?

BTW, I really like the concept of the new mascara that Clinique is introducing. (It's at the end of the article.) I might have to try it.
