Confession time, I am addicted to mascaras. I hate to admit it, but it's true. So naturally as a mascara addict, I have tried many, many mascaras, and I have opinions on all of them. So I am going to share with you my best and worst drugstore Mascaras!!
Starting with the worst to get the negativity out of the way, I will start with the worst of the worst and move upwards:
My least favorite mascara ever is surprisingly a Maybelline one, now I usually LOVE Maybelline mascaras, I have loads of them and the majority of my favorite mascaras are Maybelline ones, but this one I hated. And it is the Mega Plush Volum' Express mascara. I was so surprised that I didn't like this because like I said, I love the Maybelline mascaras but when I tried this I just could not get along with the flexible brush, I just thought that made the mascara really awkward and difficult to use, and I thought that the formula was really thick and nasty and it made my eyelashes clump, not a nice look. So yeah, that is my least favorite mascara.
Next in line is the MUA Lash Boom Volume and Length mascara. I saw this for a couple of pounds and thought that I might as well try it, but I wish I hadn't bothered, the bristles are really short, the formula doesn't really give any volume and it just doesn't really do anything, but at least it doesn't clump.
Then we have the Natural Collection WaterGuard mascara; I got this when I was first starting to use makeup and I wanted a mascara but I didn't want to get told off for having any on so I gave this a go because it's brown and I thought that would be more natural. Make no mistake, it is very natural and great if you want to wear some mascara but not get into any trouble for it, but I just found that it didn't give me any length or volume, although it does stay on for hours and hours which I guess is down to the fact that it is waterproof.
And my very last worst product (if that made any sense) is the Miss Sporty Fabulous Lash Curved Brush; one good thing about this is that it does give your lashes a bit of extra curl, but other than that and giving it a bit of length, I didn't really see it doing very much, it just kind of sat there being useless. But I prefer the formula and the results of this one to the other ones that I have mentioned.
Now I have my best mascaras, I am going to just work my way up to my favorite so here we go.
First I have my Maybellne Illegal Length mascara, if you have short eyelashes then this thing is brilliant, I found that it clumped slightly but it did make my eyelashes super long and lovely, but it doesn't give much volume so I used it with another mascara that I will mention in a minute.
Then there is the Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara, this one I used for a really long time because it gave me lots of length without clumping and I couldn't find any mascaras that gave me volume as well so I just used this again and again because I really did love how long it made my eyelashes look.
Then I have a real tie between two of my favorite Maybelline mascaras, I honestly can't chose between them but I am going to start with the Colossal Volum' Express mascara. Oh my gosh I loved this mascara for the longest time, it really was the first mascara that gave me loads of volume as well as length, it was very black and just made my lashes look so luscious and beautiful and the majority of the time I just wore this, eyeliner and concealer and I was perfectly comfortable to go to school and it didn't look overly heavy.
Then I have my other Maybelline mascara which is the Falsies Volum' Express Flared mascara, I also have the Falsies Black Drama which is nice and dramatic, but I prefer the Falsies Flared because it curls my eyelashes nicely, it allows me to get all of the lashes because of the curved brush and it doesn't clump at all, I did wear this with the Illegal Length mascara but for quite a long time I just wore this one on it's own and it looked luscious, so yes, if you want to get a Maybelline Mascara, it's amazing.
And finally we have my favorite drugstore mascara of all time which I have already done a review on, you should go check that out, it is the NYC Big Bold mascara. Now, let's just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this is every bit as good as the Maybelline mascaras, for less than half the price! It gives my lashes as much volume as my Clinique mascara and it lengthens beautifully, the only downside to this is that is seriously isn't waterproof, I had to go and walk the dog in the rain one time and when I got back my mascara was on my cheekbones, and I only had a few minutes to sort myself out and get out of the door again, so yeah, if it is raining or you are going to be swimming or anything, don't wear this. But other than that it is one of my favorite mascaras of all time, I love it to bits and just a single coat looks the same as about two or three coats of my Maybelline mascaras! Go buy this mascara, you will not regret it.
So that is it for my Best and Worst Drugstore Mascaras post, I am thinking about doing a Best and Worst Drugstore Foundations one but I'm not too sure about that, it's just an idea.
