Lately I have realized that the
world of plumping lashes does not just extend to mascara and lash curlers
anymore. No, we are surrounded by new technology and ideas that allow us to
transform our lashes, whether they be puny and sparse (me) or naturally
luscious (H).
I want to go over a little bit of
everything with our readers to educate on the different options for maximizing
lashes!
Today, let's talk mascara.
Everybody knows their lashes
best. You know what works for you and what doesn't. If you
want (or need?) to spend $30 on mascara, then more power to you (ahem...H). I,
on the other hand, think you can get a great mascara for a great price. Yes,
this means shopping at Target for your mascara is a-okay with me! I am an equal
opportunity mascara lover.
Here's the high($$$) and
low($) and the best of the best.
MAC Haute & Naughty Lash
$18: MAC's most dramatic mascara ever, it has a dual brush system that lets you
first focus on length, and then really pump up the volume with the plush brush.
Dior Show $25: H's favorite
mascara, has a cult following with those who want ultra drama and fat lashes.
Is often featured in the "favorites" sections of fashion mags.
Cover Girl Lash Blast $9: A great
one-coat mascara that lengthens, thickens in one smooth stroke. I use this on
all my clients because it works on literally everyone and allows me to get the
drama without 50 coats.
Cover Girl Volume Exact $7: My
personal favorite mascara. It's really buildable, which I love. It builds
fluffy thickness and length without getting clumpy. The synthetic brush combs
through the lashes and deposits just the right amount of product.
L'oreal Voluminous $7. A great
thickening mascara that is easy to build plush lashes with. A traditional fave of
many.
Maybelline XXL $8: Sports two
sides, the first being a white primer that conditions and primes the lashes for
the traditional black mascara. Tip: I like to let the primer dry before I put
on the black mascara. It helps to solidify the foundation and allows for more
buildability!
What is your favorite
mascara?

Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte. This will change your life, I promise and it's only $18...not bad for a prestige cosmetics line.
My next must have is They're Real! from Benefit. Both are AWESOME!
Cover Girl Professional All-in-One curved brush mascara....my ULTRA fave...I pretty much import from the US (UK does not like CG). It is THEE greatest but I am tempted by H's Dior!
I am in love with They're Real! by Benefit. Great great mascara, and the tube lasts FOREVER! I'm still on my first tube I have ever bought and I think I'm converted for life
