Hey
everyone!
I don’t
know about you, but the most purchased makeup items for me are always without a
doubt, mascara. I think that’s the case for a lot of people. Why? Because even
when you find one you like, you are always hoping that there’s another out
there that is better. At least, that’s my excuse.
What
makes mascara hard is that for some odd reason, each kind reacts totally
different to each person. There is no universally perfect mascara
unfortunately. There are good ones, really bad ones, and just okay ones. But
not one single one that has everything.
Because
I’ve been trying mascaras out like crazy recently, I thought I’d highlight my
top five favorites…ever. That’s pretty
lofty, and sometimes it’s hard to choose, but these have always been mascaras
that work for me.
1. Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes
Mascara

What’s funny about
this mascara, is that online the reviews of it aren’t that great. I was
actually super hesitant to buy it originally because people hated it so much.
But I’m so glad that the packaging (it’s so cute!) pulled me in! What I
especially love about this mascara is the wand. It has the thick, bristles (not
the plastic type), that defines my eyelashes so well. I love the curved wand,
as it makes the outer corner of my eyes so dramatic (the packaging promises
full and spiked outer lashes). The formula is great. I’ve repurchased this and
probably will in the future too.
2. Covergirl Clump Crusher

This is another curved
wand mascara that I love. I like how this makes my lashes long and defined.
This has a plastic wand, but something about it makes it super easy to just
brush out your lashes. The formula is definitely on the dry end, which is both
good and bad. I don’t like wet mascaras at all, and this is definitely the
opposite of it. I’ve also repurchased this mascara as well, and will do so in
the future.
3. Maybelline The Rocket

This is another
recent favorite of mine. As my blog has highlighted, this mascara and I have
gone through ups and downs. For some time I definitely wasn’t a fan of this
mascara, but what made me go back to it is the dramatic, volumized look it
gives my lashes. It’s pretty defining and doesn’t take a lot of coats to make
my lashes dramatic and black. While I’m not a fan of the gel consistency of the
formula or how the brush kind of hurts the base of my lashes, I do love the
consistent, dramatic look of it.
4. L’Oreal Voluminous Million
Lashes

This was my mascara
love of the summer. I think this mascara is an all-around solid mascara. While
it can get a little clumpy, the formula, brush, and packaging are all great. It’s
easy to use, and very flattering on my lashes. They define and add volume. This
is one that I’m hoping to try out again soon.
5. Tarte Lights, Camera,
Lashes!

This is the only
high-end mascara on my list (mostly because it’s the only high-end kind I’ve
tried). If there were such thing as the perfect mascara, this probably would be
it. First, it has good ingredients that are meant to make lashes healthy, it’s
cruelty free, and has super cute packaging. It’s great at both adding length
and volume to lashes. While this is not the waterproof version, it has
fantastic staying power. It’s not the type of mascara you need to comb through
your lashes continuously, which is a great bonus and time-saver. The only
negative is the price. But I love it.
What
are your favorite mascaras?
