Best Mascara

So excited to share this Best Mascara post with you all today! I am teaming up with Beauty By Arielle and we’re both sharing our favorites! I was so excited when she mentioned this collab because I love me some mascara! When you’re through here be sure to go on over to her blog and check out her favorites!

TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX //  $23  //  Going into this post, I was convinced ALL of my picks were going to be from the drugstore, that’s what I tend to love and gravitate towards! However, I ordered this Too Face Beauty Blogger Darlings($20) Kit from Sephora a few weeks ago and it had the ‘Better Than Sex’ mascara in it and I have been trying it out and I dare to say this may become a holy grail product. Okay on to the good stuff and why I am obsessing over this. The black is SO intense that I can not even believe it. I’ve never gotten the color from any other mascara. It’s a volumizing mascara with an hourglass-shaped brush that separates, coats, and curls each lash to voluptuous perfection. Seriously, you get major volume from this after just one coat and barely even trying. After two coats? Forget about it, toss your falsies out because this baby takes their place. I can’t say that I’ll completely give up on my drugstore faves but lemme just tell you this makes you want to!

COVERGIRL BOMBSHELL VOLUME MASCARA  //  $11.99  //  This little gem is brand new to the Covergirl collection because if it wasn’t it would have definitely been included on my Best Of Covergirl list! The dual ended brush makes application a breeze, and instead of layering on two different mascaras like we so often do to get more volume and intensity this one does both! You can get the Bombshell look in two easy steps! Step 1 Volumize – Load On For Unbelievably Big Volume Step 2 Intensify – Seal In With One Coat For An Intense, Dark All Day Finish Beautifully Separated Lashes. Definitely a winner!

L’OREAL BUTTERFLY MASCARA  //  $7.99 // This mascara seems to be split down the middle with those who LOVE it and those who HATE it. It’s definitely in my LOVE pile! After trying it out I was able to give some Makeup Enhancing Tips From L’Oreal and I just fell in love with this mascara! You get a great volumizing lash and it looks amazing on! You can check it out on my eyes here & see why I love it!

MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH  //  $5.99  //  This will never not be on my best mascara list… It’s probably my favorite mascara of ALL time which is why it’s a tried and true favorite! I have been using it forever! It made my Best Of Maybelline list and it’s been one of my favorites on my Drugstore Makeup Kit list for awhile! This mascara has probably been my most talked about one on this blog and in real life. You can find it on the Top Beauty Products Under $10 list as well, and if you just search it it shows up in a crazy amount of posts which should really show the extent of my love affair with it! It’s awesome for a mascara and in my opinion nothing can come close to it or even compare. I just love my little green and pink tube!

COVERGIRL FLAMED OUT  //  $5.70  // This little beauty is another favorite! When I want to go out only rocking mascara and eyeliner this is always the mascara I reach for! Flamed out mascara gives you maximum volume for a flamed out lash look – now in water resistant!

So these are what I put in the best mascara column! It’s no surprise to me that four of the five are drugstore mascaras because we know that I will always go after drugstore products and save my wallet! I couldn’t compile this best mascara list without that Too Faced mascara though, it really is that amazing!  Again, be sure to head on over to see what Arielle picked for hers at Beauty By Arielle and tell her hi!

  1. I haven’t used great lash in years but it used to be my go to. I really need to pick up a tube again! Thanks for joining me on this post 🙂

  7. Great Lash was what I grew up on, hahaa. My mom swears by it to this day. Have you ever tried Benefit’s They’re Real? It’s pricey but I swear worth EVERY cent if you have short lashes like I do. I freakin’ swear by it.. it’s amazing!!

  9. Mine are both drugstore brands!!

    Rimmel’s Glam 2 Eyes is awesome. It’s equivalent to MAC Haute and Naughty Lash. SO much cheaper too! I also like Rimmel’s Retro Lash mascara. They have the best IMO!

  11. My fave drugstore mascara is Maybelline The Colossal. Who knew that Maybelline could do such a great line of mascaras? Have you tried the Ellis Faas mascara? It’s a little spendy, but it blew my mind. Soft, long lashes!

  16. I tried all of these and unfortunately none of them worked too well for my lashes. My favorite right now is probably They’re Real by Benefit 🙂

  27. I Love Crazy Volume by Essence is absolutely AMAZING, added bonus is it’s only $5.99 @ Ulta

  28. They’re Real! by Benefit is life changing. By far the best mascara I’ve ever used. Pair it with the They’re Real! gel eyeliner and you won’t go back.
