A quick disclaimer, though... I am not being paid for these reviews, and I do not receive free product, although that would be really cool. I'd certainly take free demos in exchange for honest reviews!
For this post, I'm going to review three mascaras:
Okay, let's start with BADgal Waterproof Mascara by Benefit Cosmetics.
I've tried soooooooo many mascaras, and almost never use waterproof because they're too hard to remove. This mascara has pros and cons, the biggest con being price ($19). I like the brush, but the tube is really thin so you don't get much product for the price you're paying. I also found it to be kinda dry...but, it comes off pretty easily with a good eye makeup remover (like Neutrogena). It's a decent mascara, but it takes two to three coats to really get the volume I like...which is to say, to even see my blonde eye lashes. Haha!
Overall, I'd rate this one a 3 (out of 5).
Moving onto Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.
Now this mascara, I LOVE. Seriously LOVE. Price is great (~$9), curved, spikey, plastic brush is freakin' amazing, and the mascara itself glides onto each lash brilliantly. I actually tried a couple of other mascaras after using Lash Sensational, and every time, I want to go back to Lash Sensational. It is truly that amazing! I haven't found another drugstore or department store brand that can even compare.
Rating? 7 out of 5!!! Yep, it tops the scale!
Finally, let's take a peek at Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes(TM) mascara.
I received this in an Ipsy bag about a year ago or so, and really, really liked it. So much so, that I bought the full-sized tube from Sephora. It's priced right in line with other department store brands, at $21, so it's a little pricey...especially since you can get an amazing mascara like Maybelline's Lash Sensational for only $9. But, if you're a mascara snob and want a mascara that makes your lashes look incredible for the price of a brand name, then I recommend this one over any of the others. I've also tried Dior's Diorshow mascara ($27 at Sephora), but Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes is my preference between the two.
My rating? Hmmm...5. Yep, it's that good...for a price. If you want amazing for a bargain, go for Maybelline Lash Sensational. Seriously.
Thanks for reading... there will be more of these coming. I have a cabinet full of products I'm just dying to write about!
Love,
Marcie
