I wanted to do a fav mascara post. I LOVE to try new mascara's, actually I'm a little obsessed with eye make-up, especially mascara. I count on it to make my lashes the best they can be because I have such stubby, life-less lashes. Seriously, my lashes are blonde, short and stubby that if I don't wear mascara, I look like I have bald eye-lids. I cannot live without mascara. It's my #1, and if I only had one thing to take on a deserted island, it would be mascara...lol
I've come across expensive mascaras and cheaper mascaras, and I think if you can find a cheaper one that does the same as a more expensive one, I would take the less expensive anytime. Unless you have the money to spend on an expensive mascara, it's not really worth it because I find I go through mascara so frequently, it's just a waste for me. BUT... I still do like some pricier mascara's if I have a gift card because there is a few that... if I was rich, they would be CLW's for sure!
Ok, so I will start with the more pricier ones that I love. Both of these are just awesome!
This mascara is by Too Faced called Lash Injection. This is a great mascara. I tried a sample size of this mascara and fell in love with it. It really makes lashes long and full. It's definietly a more expensive mascara, so I only use my sample one when I'm going out somewhere special. Definietly a great mascara! Audrina Patridge from The Hills is a fan of this mascara, so because I love her and think she is beyond gorgeous.. I wanted to try this out for myself...L.O.V.E...I.T!
The next one I really like is Diorshow by Dior.
This is also a fantastic mascara. I got this awhile back and really loved it. It is just the perfect mascara. It left my lashes so thick I couldn't believe it. I really loved the brush with this one. It was so different (in a good way) because it left my lashes kind of curled too. 2 thumbs up for this mascara. It's also a little expensive... so ask for a gift card for bdays or xmas and invest in this one if you want to treat yourself to luxury because that's exactly what this mascara is... Luxury!
So now, my less expensive choices that I heart are:
L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes
I LOVE this mascara people!!! At first, I don't know, I wasn't too thrilled. Maybe it was because it was brand new and had to work it in a bit. After about 3 or 4 days, I fell in love... I'm pretty sure I pulled a Carrie Bradshaw told my mascara "hello lover"!! I have been using this with the Smashbox mascara primer and found that it works amazing. I'm not sure if it's because of the Smashbox primer, but I'm very happy with this one. I would buy this over and over. I chose Black, but I pretty much buy black in every mascara. Overall,I really recommend this pick. It seperates your lashes amazingly and gives them oh-so-beautiful length too! INVEST!!!!
Ok... So this next mascara is also a fav. I really really like this one because it gives my lashes extensions!!! It's L'Oreal Extral Collegen Mascara.
This is a gorgeous mascara! I will actually be alternating this mascara and the million lashes mascara. I use 2 coats of this mascara because it give incredible length. The only thing about this mascara is that I would get waterproof next time. I found the normal one wore off by the end of the day, so waterproof would definitely be a better option for this mascara.
I think waterproof for any mascara would be the way to go at least for summer. I always find that because it's so hot and sticky outside for summer, I sweat and O.M.G, it's not pretty! I would rather be safe and apply waterproof so that it lasts longer and I don't need to worry about my mascara drooping down my face as it melts...lol
On a side note, I do like Covergirl's Lashblast Mascara
I like this mascara but I find if I had longer lashes, then I would love it. It's like-able, but not love-able or ideal for shorter lash girls like myself.
Do you love any certain mascara's? What do you think about pricier vs cheaper? What do you think about waterproof? Do you love it? Hate it? Comment below and tell me or visit www.formspring.com/colbyavery and tell me. I really love trying new mascara's so I would love any recommendations!
Now.. I'm going to eat some dinner because my tummy is starving and talking to me right now. Tonight I'm having some chicken and a little linguine with tomato sauce. I did my exercises today, just at home though. It's butt day, and I worked the heck outta my tush.. Hopefully I can sit tomorrow *scared*
I've also been eating really healthy today and am super proud of myself!!! Saturday will be my cheat day, and I cannot wait for that!
Big hugs...xoxo
