Here are our opinions based on a 1(least)-5(best) scale
To begin lets look at our expense "Brand Name" mascaras.
"Blinc Mascara"-$25 |
Too Faced "Lash Injection" Mascara-$19 |
My partner in beauty, Kelsey, found her Estee Lauder mascara to be her favorite expensive mascara.
Estee Lauder "Sumptious Volume"- $ 19.50 |
We too give EL a 3.75 rating for mascara. This wand isnt as big. So for those of you who want volume but HATE big wands, give this slim jim a try. A quick, and very smooth coat adds a look of Falsies without the mess. One draw back to this bad boy is that, the tube doesnt last as long as many other brands. It dries out a little quicker, but at a cheaper price you may just be willing to overlook that.
"Dazzle Glass" MAC-$11 |
As many of you know MAC products are loved by virtually every girl. Although MAC is a Household-name-brand, becasue of price it is actually between "brand name" and Drugstore. However as much as I love MAC I can only give their mascaras a 2. This one really plumped my lashes and gave me a bold look. But we always had either clumps or flakinesss by the end of the day. The tube also dried out after about a month. (we also don't "pump" our mascara so it wasn't because of that!) The DazzleGlass did what it promised in terms of Length and Glam, but once again I had to buy a new bottle before long! In a photo shoot it's nice because it does give length, but for an everyday wear, I might skip out for a longer lasting tube.
"Plush Lash" MAC-$11 |
(However since We are MAC fans on this blog, we DO recomend their Lashes!)
estimated-$5.50 |
Now for our Bargain Buys. Sometimes you get what you pay for, but many times you are surprised. Just as we are with some drugstore brands. Most Make-up artists and, Make-up magazines, either carry this "Great Lash" mascara in their kit or have claimed it to be the best. But we give it a 3. For price, it is a "Great" buy but in terms of results, we weren't as impressed. nothing about it stood out like other brands. It always flaked during the day and we had to do more than one application to achieve results. To give it credit, the tube never dried out! We thought it would never run low or dry, and definitely got your little lashes in the corner. If you're on a budget, be spendy and buy a mascara that might cost you an extra dollar so you can at least have a better performing mascara.
Rimmel "Lash Flirt"- $7.75 |
I can only give this mascara a 1! "lash flirt" was really a "lash flop" Sure it never dried out or clumped, but i got NO results from it, I bought it becasue of the cute package and definitely regreted it. Rimmel normally performs well as a drug store brand, but this time i was let down.
Our favorite drug store mascara was Revlon Double Twist, For $8 I was satisfied. It gets a 4. For the price I got thick "false" looking lashes and never broke my pocket book! After getting used to the thick formula, you can appreciate it's two different bristles. They work together to lift, curl and seperate. Without the "tubes" you don't get as much length, but it does perform as well as our expensive brands!
With so many brands to pick from, you can be happy with a cheaper buy, but sometimes added benefits like "lash tubes" (that work) you may need to save some paychecks! We hope by putting our poor lashes to the test, your eyes will be perky and flirty without having to wear a bad mascara first!
