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!

WHAT IS IN YOUR BEST MASCARA COLUMN? DRUGSTORE, HIGHEND OR BOTH?

    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 🙂

    Hi- I’m constantly searching for a good mascara.. Which one do you recommend the most?

  3. Niki Caron says

    February 12, 2014 at 12:42 pm

    I haven’t tried the Too Faced mascara yet but sooo many people have recommended it to me! I have also been eyeing the Butterfly mascara!

  4. Angela Peters says

    February 12, 2014 at 7:32 pm

    Eeek! I don’t know if I can choose just one! BUT gun to the head? No other options? Have to make a choice? Maybelline Great Lash hands down!! 🙂

    February 12, 2014 at 8:21 pm

    I am seriously obsessed!

    February 12, 2014 at 8:22 pm

    I am seriously loving the Too Faced, and I really didn’t think I would! Highly recommend!

    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!!

  8. Angela Peters says

    February 12, 2014 at 9:12 pm

    I LOVE it! I have a little sample of They’re Real that I keep meaning to try out, maybe I’ll take it to Vegas with me!!

  9. Whitney @ EHFAR says

    February 12, 2014 at 10:35 pm

    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!

  10. Kath TheFabZilla says

    February 14, 2014 at 3:39 am

    I want to try that Bombshell from Covergirl. As for my fave, it has to be Clinique bottom lash mascara, it’s a game changer!

  11. Nidia says

    February 14, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    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!

  12. Destany says

    February 14, 2014 at 4:22 pm

    Nice choices! I’ve never tried any of them. But Flamed Out looks great!

  13. Noelle says

    February 14, 2014 at 5:00 pm

    I’m a mascara junkie and totally agree with this list!

  14. Phyrra says

    February 14, 2014 at 5:11 pm

    Too Faced Better Than Sex is my holy grail mascara

  15. Miranda says

    February 14, 2014 at 8:46 pm

    I haven’t tried any of these!! My new HG from the drugstore is the Rimmel Scandaleyes original in the orange tube

  16. Anastasia says

    February 14, 2014 at 9:25 pm

    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 🙂

  17. Laura MyNewestAddiction says

    February 14, 2014 at 9:44 pm

    Great Lash makes me wanna claw my eyes out but the rest are phenomenal!

  18. Justina says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:09 pm

    I’ve been loving the Too Faced mascara lately too!

  19. Angela Peters says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:49 pm

    Bahahaha, oh no!

  20. Angela Peters says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:49 pm

    I have a sample of that I have been meaning to try! Taking it to Vegas with me!

  21. Angela Peters says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:49 pm

    I need to grab that one!

  22. Angela Peters says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:50 pm

    I have no idea how I waited so long to try it! IN LOVE!

  23. Angela Peters says

    February 14, 2014 at 11:50 pm

    I haven’t tried that yet, I have it from a beauty box but it’s in my bin waiting 🙂

  24. Betzy Carmona says

    February 15, 2014 at 3:25 am

    My favorite is the colossal by maybelline

  25. Brooke @ Blushing Noir says

    February 15, 2014 at 2:35 pm

    Too Faced Better Than Sex FTW!!!!

  26. Citizens of Beauty says

    February 16, 2014 at 1:45 am

    I have to 100% agree on the Better Than Sex! It’s amazing.

  27. Jeri Fleming says

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

    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.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
