Mascara Makeover

My make up bag has three different mascara's in it. Now, this is partly because my mother buys new one's on a regular bases, and partly because I am indecisive even about which little tube of eyelashes I like best. Well, after many years of experimenting with drug store brands as well as department store brands, I have decided which tubes do what for me and which I would suggest to my fellow young women so our "Winc's" will stand out.

First Culprit: Covergirl "lashexact"

This thin purple tube has fits easily in a clutch or small make-up bag, which is convenient. Opposed to some other brands, the wand is more firm and the mascara inside, more evenly distributed on the brush. When I put this one on, it lifts my eye lashes a lot, but doesn't make them stand out as well as some other mascaras. This is one for subtle volume.

Second Culprit: MAYBELLINE "theCOLOSSALVOLUM'express. 

This is the number one of my list of mascaras. Thick enough at the root to avoid having to use eyeliner, and a huge brush to get to even the tiniest of lashes. This one sticks true to it's promise of volume, while also avoiding the clumping lashes together issue.

Third Culprit:  MAYBELLINE "Grand Lash" mascara

I have a feeling that anyone reading this one, has used this pink and green tube and trusts that the brand will do them well. My  mother has used this her entire adult life and it was the first tube I used. This mascara, when brand new, does the complete job; it lifts, it separates, it doesn't clump, and it is inexpensive. However, I always feel like this one runs low quicker then the others, which is not tragic, but we want a mascara that will deliver to the last drop right? Right.

Fourth Culprit: LANCOME L extreme mascara (waterproff)

Although I am not a fan of department store mascaras, I decided to try this one last year and was pretty impressed. The brush for this tube is long, and made my appeared to add a few extra lashed ( which is always great.) This tube is also waterproof, which I good for a special night out. However, the waterproofing make it a little more difficult to take off. If you are one of those girls who is not a makeup fan, but likes to go all out when the occasion calls for it, this is a good pick.
